PrintMinnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals, Sep 25, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
Your pitching matchup is Carl Pavano against Robinson Tejeda. Pavano will make his sixth start of the season against KC tonight. Having six out of your thirty one starts against the Royals, known as pulling a Cliff Lee, must be fun.

does this mean he will get thrown out of Sunday's game?

so is Mauer going to hit like 7 oppo-field homers this series

"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell
ugh i hate hate hate pitching around mauer after being aheadin the count
just sets up an inning, at least make him hit the damn ball

ok,
here is my dilemma. I have both Span and Mauer on my fantasy team and I am currently in first place in my league. I want the Royals to win, but I want those guys to hit HR’s and get R’sBI…. what to do, what to do
"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell
You always want your real life team to win over fantasy
I have the same dilemma sometimes and I just accept whatever happens.
You just play percentages and past history
I did really well this year leaving a roster spot open and just plugging in guys from teams the Royals were playing. I didn’t like doing it but when you know the team you follow is no good then using their opponents is a good strategy.
4 pitches 2 outs
pavano is goign to pitch an 80 pitch CG against this lineup

I’ve got one more season left. If he can’t hit .270 with double digit home runs next season I’d be ready to try something else too. With the Royals luck though they would end up with Joe Crede and his bad back.
Stick with the evil you know.

hey, it's John Schuerholz

that is b ad strategy trey… and now they steal on the next pitch, LOL

totally forgot about the huber angle
oh well, he was rumored to get playing time at 1B/DH, then Cuddyer hit like 8 HRs in 5 games

that ball never bounced up, kind of skidded beneath Buck
it didn’t help that the ball landed about 50 feet from the pitching mound.

What, are we going to pitch around Mauer every at bat?
No matter what the circumstances? Kind of a sissy approach.
how is it possible that Mauer has an OPS >1.0?
isn’t that not allowed? I mean, look at the Royals OPS numbers. He must be selfish

-
jesus bunting witha strike with alex effing gordon
trey hillman you are a goddamn idiot
-
Not a dumb move.
Alex Gordon blows and probably wouldn’t have gotten a hit.
Too bad he can’t bunt either, apparently.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
okay, he's a year removed from being one of the better hitters on our team, and now he sucks?
if he’s not one thing, it’s obviously a bunter, and when you consider yuniesky betancourt and josh anderson are up next, why the hell would you ever bunt? and give pavano a free out, who’s already given up 6 hits in 3 innings? it just makes zero sense
-
Please.
If you think Gordon was anything other than replacement level last season, then you’re fooling yourself.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center

That is a travesty
Its not like Betancourt had to dive for the ball. I was essentially hit right to him. He just didn’t field it. At least the nephew is here and I had a classic example to show him how not making a basic play can blow up in your face. He turns that play its still 2-1 and we are still actually in suspense as to how it might turn out.
Is there anybody here other than me
that is actually embarrased that this crap? I bought tickets to two of the three games next week at the Metrodome and I’m sure I’m gonna have to be drunk off my butt to enjoy them.

He can always pitch 8 innings
get 11 strikeouts and have the bullpen blow the 0-0 tie in the 9th.

maybe his shoulder is fatigued…

Buck showing good lateral mobility behind the plate tonight
our pitchers seem intent on trying to kill our catchers.

There are so many useless players on this team. I want to see a complete house cleaning, from Willie Boom Boom to Josh Anderson, to Ramon Colon to Jamey Wright.

Josh Anderson is my favorite useless player
because he actually made me appeciate Mitch Maier. Argh.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
I absolutely fucking hate Josh Anderson...
and Im sure it probably is a little misplaced, I just fucking hate that guy, zero redeamable qualities.

Nope, it's OK to hate him.
Apparently, in addition to being useless on the field, he is a huge bitch.
WTF, self?
Ive seen the Royals play a lot of bad baseball...
But I haven’t seen them do that this year.

so has anybody been imnpressed by carlos rosa so far?
i gotta say, for a guy that was ranked as a top prospect… i have really seen nothing from him. he throws hard, can’t really control it, his slider seems pretty flat, the changeup isn’t really a swing and a miss pitch… not really sure what there is to get excited about with him.

he isn't Jamey Wright.

I fully expect Rosa to pitch the last 2 strike out 6 and rescue a baby...
and not pitch again this year

you're right, he put up a quality ab for the situation
if trey lets uselesski bat here i’m just going to close the mlbtv window

errr, gordon
now would be the perfect time to PH olivo

its too early for a rally killing 3 run HR

like seriously, if you were BUNTING with gordon earlier vs a rhp
why don’t you PH olivo here
just don’t get it
-
that's basically what that says to me
gordon might be the future but olivo has a chance of actually running into one and making it a one run game… and you don’t pull the trigger.

Im not sure your capable of understanding...
Trey is one of the greatest baseball minds in a generation.

I'm pretty sure
The rally against the Red Sox on Monday was the last inspiring thing this team will do this season. Apart from Zack, I’m obliged to add.
its looking more and more possible
Josh Anderson just hit a ball as hard as he has all year
