Game 144 Open Thread - Royals (57-86) at Tigers (77-66)

Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers, Sep 15, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


Thanks to this hot streak, the Royals are now projected to win around 65 games.


It'll be interesting to see if Robinson Tejeda can continue to be successful as a starting pitcher tonight. Does anyone else feel a 3.0 IP - 7 H, 4 BB, 5 ER start coming?

Betting lines

Usually you can intuitively guess them. I don’t bet but they are fun to look at. Today the Royals are +165. In light of Tejeda’s recent success and Washburn’s mediocrity, doesn’t that seem out of whack?

Vegas also sets the line

trying to balance the betting so it is relatively even on each side. I imagine they have to offer a little extra to get bettors to back the Royals.

A serious question

Tejeda seems like one of the more adequate pitchers. Yet he never had a meaningful role this year. Why, when we were pitching the likes of Ponson and Chen, did he never get the fifth starter role (at least) as a trial?

if i had to guess

they saw how bad he was as a starter in the past, and decided he was more valuable as a longman

Did anyone here Ryan on 610 AM this morning?

Apologies if it’s been mentioned, I didn’t see a fanshot. It was so bizarre and horrifying, it seemed like a parody.

1) “The only stat I care about is one I call ‘Can he play?’” Don’t tell me about “on-base percentage” or “slugging percentage,” because people can put up numbers when it doesn’t matter. All I care about is “Can he play”, and to me the only way to answer that is by watching the games every day."

1b) “With all due respect to Mr. Posnanski, there’s no way Betancourt is having a bad defensive year, let alone the worst of all time. I watch him every night, and he’s solid out there, he makes the plays.”

2) "I’ve had some of my people look at Ultimate Zone Rating and tell me about it, and I don’t think there’s any value to a ‘statistic’ that says Torii Hunter isn’t the best centerfielder.

3) “With the Cy Young, the question everyone should be asking is ‘where would this team be without him?’ And with Greinke, the answer is ‘still in last place.’”

There was a lot more, I’m sure I’ve forcibly removed some of it from my memory.

by slayor on Sep 15, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

It was pretty ambiguous

Basically, he was saying, ‘I know he’s the sentimental choice locally, but as a voter you have to consider the team situation." So, basically, Greinke would have his vote, but he didn’t say anything to suggest he believed any criteria that result in him not winning would be absurd.

by andrewmiller on Sep 15, 2009 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

He really said that? What the hell?

I did like it last night on MLB network when one guy (dan pleasac maybe) was saying Zach should win the CY and it isn’t even close. I was all smiles after that until later he added that perhaps Mariano should get some consideration.
Sigh.

by A. B. Aird on Sep 15, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

I actually don't have a problem with the first 3 but #3 is ridiculous

It’s not Greinke’s fault his team can’t score runs.

However, Davies is dead to me. He sucks and shoudl never even be GIVEN EVEN A CHANCE to pitch as a starter. He couldn’t help the team before the season was over. And the Royals season was over in July if I’m not mistaken. His stats right now are meaningless.

And how many times do we have to talk about UZR like its an official stat? Betancourt sucks because he can’t hit .290 like he was able to do in the past, not because his defense is extremely subpar. If you haven’t noticed, UZR rankings fluctuate immensely from year to year, to the point where its difficult to take them seriously

by GobbleforCyoung on Sep 15, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

"And the Royals season was over in July if I’m not mistaken. His stats right now are meaningless."

By this criterion, shouldn’t the Royals also get rid of DeJesus, Maier and Tejeda for not producing when it “mattered”?

by andrewmiller on Sep 15, 2009 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dejesus had a .402 OBP in July

And he’s produced for years. Maier I’m pretty much through with but he started to get better towards the end of a July. Tejede doesn’t count becuase he was hurt for one, and two diidn’t get a chance to start.
 
Davies sucked to the point he was demoted off of our terrible pitching staff. Hochevar was good for awhile and then starts to suck now so that’s the oppositte. Atleast Hochever is learning how to strike out more and walk less.

That fan getting hit better be on SC’s not-so Top 10 on Friday (Which the Royals also frequent)

To cement my potential new employment

Let me post again my pre game message:
Betting lines
Usually you can intuitively guess them. I don’t bet but they are fun to look at. Today the Royals are +165. In light of Tejeda’s recent success and Washburn’s mediocrity, doesn’t that seem out of whack?

After we went on our scoring rampage

I turned over to the Naturals game and it was about the same. Except for Farnsworth Jr. down there giving up 4 runs the NWA’s fed it to Midland. Game two is tommorrow night and then they move to Springdale. So, one victory scotch with them and now I am toasting TeJ for his marvelous five inning masterpiece and for Hillfart not screwing up this game. Go Royals…
