Happy Zac-- err Lenny DiNardo day!
Oh, and apparently Meche is done for the year and Banny is going for a second opinion. Put that together with Hochevar’s pitch tipping and it’s shaping up to be another banner day in Royalsville
But, hey, Lenny is Royal #700!
So there’s something
And I just caught up with the Cortes-DGut Facebook thing and that was funny :)

So basically
As it stands, Our rotation is basically:
Lenny “AAAA” DiNardo
Robinson “Walk or K” Tejeda
Luke “I’m going to throw a fastball” Hochevar
Kyle “I’m flattering to deceive again” Davies
Zack “Doesn’t know how to win” Greinke
Awesome. This process shit is good.
That actually beats the rotation description from, I think it was Soren, a couple of years ago
Injured (could be anyone)
Overpaid (see above)
Fat (Runelvys)
Crazy (Zack)
and something like Inexperienced or Unproven, I think
He's A C

Lineup fail
After 3 games with Maier batting 2nd (all wins) – Bloomquist is back in the 2 hole. Out of the 18 runs we’ve scored, Mitch has scored 5. Isn’t it nice to have someone on base ahead of Billy (BTW – 8 RBI in the 3 games)!

He gets on nearly 30% of the time!
What more do you want from the 2 hole?
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
Apparently...
I want more than Trey does…

"Bloomquist in the 2 hole"
sounds like a good description of the Moore-Bloomquist contract negotiations

Mitch can't handle the 2 hole vs LHP
Mitch v. LHP: .333/.436/.500
Bloomy v. LHP: .231/.309/.327
You need a proven hitter like Bloomquist there

Yikes
That just makes it an even worse “lineup fail” than I originally thought.
Then, of course, Olivo is in the spot behind Billy. So now, we’ve surrounded our hottest hitter with 2 guys that have trouble getting on base. Lenny better pitch a shutout – it might be his only hope of getting a no-decision.

I had hopes for him last year.
I thought he might be the starting center fielder this year. I was very unhappy when the Royals agreed to allow the Red Sox to unload Coco Crisp’s contract on the Royals. Partially because Coco was way overpaid, and partially because I thought Mitch would probably play almost as well as Coco if given the chance. So I feel kinda vindicated by his play over the last month.

thats what Im getting at...
I also think his Defense might be slightly better than we give him credit for… Granted he still isn’t good, but Im not convinced he is Jacobs bad.

he was batting .250/.278/.330
before coming to the Royals… so he’s maintained… nothing to get excited about

is someone going to get the save besides Soria?
not allowable. only remedy is to bring in Professor soon and make sure the Tigers tie or take the lead

i’m totally in favor of giving Rosa the opportunity for the save

I'm hoping Hillman
throws Marte or Rosa in the fire today. What better way to evaluate them, then pitching with a small lead versus a playoff team?

This is silly
17 baserunners, and only 4 runs, thanks to 4 DPs and 10 LOB.
Good luck in the playoffs, Tigers. You will match up well against the Yankees.
NOT.
