Nick Blackburn v. Luke Hochevar
Remember that awesome two week stretch Hochevar had? The one that culminated in a 13 strikeout, zero walk, performance against Texas? Since then, he's posted a 8.59 ERA in his last four starts (22.0 IP). Hochevar's been done in by an endless string of hits and six home runs allowed. Well good, now with Hochevar anything but predictable, we've got an all enigma back of the rotation.

the back of the rotation....
is that kind of enigma you don’t want to turn your back on. (oh crap the back of the rotation is right behind me, isn’t it?) Awkward……..

Punching Judies linup for the day
(DeJesus – LF)
(Maier – CF)
(Butler – 1B)
(Jacobs – DH)
(Callaspo – 2B)
(Teahen – 3B)
(Olivo – C)
(Anderson – RF)
(Betancourt – SS)
(Hochevar – P)
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
Olivo, Anderson, Betancourt...
painful. We’re just giving away 3 innings there. So Dayton goes out and picks up new “starters” which are now our everyday 8-9 hitters. It’s as if they’re driving me away.
Check this out
Reminds me so much of Wednesday’s game, their starter was 0-4 in last six outings with 7.63 ERA in that one:
Blackburn (8-8, 4.29) has been even worse than Hochevar in recent weeks, losing three straight starts and going 0-4 with a 10.17 ERA in his last six outings.
So you're saying is the Royals my get no hit tonight....
DAMNIT why do the Royals all ways face Cy Young caliber pitchers every night!!!!

GMDM just said on the pregame that they have limited callups in September
that they are still evaluating pitchers and hitters and they don’t want to take away innings or at-bats. Question: Which pitcher don’t you have enough data on yet?
"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell
Wonder who he is talking about on offensive side?
Pena? No reason he can’t start at catcher 3 or 4 times a week.
Anderson? He ought to be in the outfield almost every game with Teahen at 3rd.
Maier? Same thing and he’s had a lot of at-bats.
Jacobs? God help us
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Ponson?

Fun story
My girlfriend, a Cards fan, goes to Mizzou. She knows a kid from AZ who is a Royals fan. She asked him why he’s a Royals fan. He said he loves baseball too much not to have a team he can watch all the time. He thought he’d end up being a Cards fan here in MO, but he realized that Cards fans are all uppity jerks, and didn’t want to be a part of that, so he’s a Royals fan.

ball into corner
….misplays it…gets away….picks it up, tries to throw it…..loses it back behind him as it slips out of his hand….inside the parker little league style (actually triple and about 134134134 errors on Anderson)

let's see
ball hit into the right field corner
Anderson misplays it, it rolls past him along the wall, towards center
he chases it down, goes to throw the ball in and it squirts out of his hand
he chases it down, throws it in, Span has crossed home plate, had a snack

sorta like when Dayton bragged about the Meche deal being similar to carpenters
only carpenter’s was after he’d become good
Is Carpenter the best pitcher in baseball?
Some Cardinals fan told me that. Just checking with you guys.
He's a great pitcher
but
1) he’s arguably not even the best pitcher on his team this season
and
2) no NL pitcher at the current time can be the best in baseball

It would be going to the 11th instead

I'm we didn't have someone with speed to run for the Bus
why not use one of those chumps in the bullpen to run?

But then we'd be wasting
one of our 13 pitchers. :)

who plays first then?

If we didn't have 13 pitchers.............
that might have come in handy too.

Plenty of blame
If we don’t have our backup 2B playing RF, the Twins don’t score that 5th run.
We’re not very good, all the way around.
