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 :)

by sterlingice on Sep 10, 2009 1:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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

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!

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.

With Washburn’s trade value at its highest, the Mariners sent the 34-year-old to the Tigers for left-hander Luke French and minor league prospect Mauricio Robles. The deal was announced just hours before the non-waiver 4 p.m. ET trade deadline arrived.

Mitch breaks .700

That single took Mitch’s OPS up to .702 on the season.

I’ve been following Mitch more closely than any other player over the last couple months. I guess I’m a fan.

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.
