Anger Sweeps Across The Land As Royal Bullpen Blows Another Greinke Start

PrintThat was a true team loss tonight, a franchise loss.
Ultimately, all there really is to say, is that when games like this one become routine, your baseball team is unacceptable. When the fans were booing in the eighth, I think many of them were booing the entire situation, as opposed to just one bad inning. We have a once in a decade talent on the roster, an extremely likable guy who seems to want to be a Royal, and the organization can't even field a .500 team around him. The offense can't score more than two runs against one of the worst starters in the AL, and the bullpen can't get two outs before the game is tied. Yea, losing on a bizarre bunt single-walk-single-"double" that was a double play ball-walk to a dead guy-walk rally by the opposition is pretty bad luck, but sometimes bad luck is deserved.
You can write off a bad lineup to the team's budget and the fact that we're supposed to be rebuilding. The Royals however, if Dayton Moore was who we thought he was going to be, should always have a decent bullpen. Bullpens are entirely about fungible talent finding, and money is really not an issue. If Moore can't build a bullpen, that literally means, at this point, he cannot do anything with a Major League roster.
Yes, I know the Royals had a little mini-winning streak going, and those games even included some ok relief work. However, the Greinke starts simply mean more to us, and as long as the Royals are a last-place team, that is perfectly legitimate. We aren't booing a bad inning, we're booing years, decades really, of incompetence. Tonight's game... makes me feel a level of betrayal and just raw anger. At this point, only the Greinke starts cause that for me anymore. The stupid trades, the weird losses, the bad signings, those things are closer to an intellectual annoyance, and sometimes, in an odd way, they're even a little fun. So much of what the Royals do is either entirely predictable (Scotty Pods! Kendall's second year, etc) or entirely unpredictable and borderline insane. You can laugh at those things. However, I don't laugh about Greinke starts. I want too much for the guy. Tonight's 8th inning was a familiar disaster that reminded me of a blowup at the end of a bad marriage.
Take it away guys:
- J. Rupe relieved Z. Greinke - J. Wilson struck out swinging - I. Suzuki reached on bunt single (ok, annoying, but whatever) - C. Figgins walked, I. Suzuki to second (more of the same) - F. Gutierrez singled to left, I. Suzuki scored, C. Figgins to second (whatever, singles to decent hitters happen) - R. Tejeda relieved J. Rupe (was the plan to bring in the WORST option possible?) - J. Lopez doubled to pitcher, C. Figgins scored, F. Gutierrez to third (worse case scenario this was an out, if not a double play, terribly bad luck) - K. Griffey Jr. walked (awful awful. we are not even totally sure Griffey is still alive. his electronically simulated limbs have hit nothing but weak groundballs all year, and we walk him) - B. Chen relieved R. Tejeda - E. Byrnes ran for K. Griffey Jr. - M. Bradley walked, F. Gutierrez scored, J. Lopez to third, E. Byrnes to second (glad Chen could get involved. why worry about keeping the game tied? easier just to blow the game and let Chen pitch a mop up inning in the 9th.)

J. Rupe relieved himself on Z. Greinke

I hate Dayton Moore
err, or something productive and insightful
Suggestion
Insert Dayton Moore’s head above & bring it to me post-haste
Also acceptable: the entire bullpen’s heads
Indeed we do.

the walk to figgins was a killer
he has been TERRIBLE and you walk him? nonetheless, tejeda got a double-play ball and we had numerous opportunities to score (1-14 in scoring position) and blew it.

High bouncing grounder
that Tejeda deflected away from Bert that slowly rolled into center so the batter got to 2nd.
by hunter s. royal on Apr 27, 2010 11:24 PM EDT up reply actions
man on 1st and 2nd
High chopper over Tejada’s head, he jumped and got just enough of the ball to deflect it. Callaspo was playing almost ON the bag, and the ball deflected to where he might have usually been and into right center field. Went just far enough to take forever to track down and Lopez ends up on 2nd, a run scores from 2nd.

why the fk was callaspo still playing d in the 8th inning when we have bloomquist??

we can’t be blowning our whole bench just replacing for defense now…

That was such an abortion of a base running by DDJ there...
WHY WOULD YOU STOP!!! The ball was fielded, Figgins made the turn and was facing DDJ

Someone asked if he had the bullpen figured out
and came back with ‘does it look like I’ve got it figured out? If one of you has it figured out let me know’ – Sorry Hillman, I respect your beliefs, but maybe you should try cussing, just once at these guys and show you’ve actually got a pair, and that they aren’t made of plastic and hang from a trailer hitch.
Well I think we all have ideas, but Soria can get 4 not 5

It's unreal
How predictable this team is:
1. Get lots of baserunners
2. Strand lots of baserunners
3. Get quality start from SP
4. Bullpen gives up lead in one inning
5. Game over
6. Rinse, repeat
I once had hope...now I have Moore.
Add in to "get lots of baserunners"
Have hitters that chase balls early in the count continually (guillen, betancourt) that ground out weakly with men on base.
Missed most of the game
and watched innings 8 and 9 on gamecast on my phone. Quick question: Was something seriously wrong with the strike-zone tonight? I don’t know how many balls I saw that looked right down the middle according to the majik interwebs phone.

I agree, I am a critical listener and I was upset when he had his 'virus' *cough - stroke - cough*
but I don’t think he’ll ever be back. He was talking about taking only half the baseball games the next season before his incident. It is unfortunate. I wish he was better so we could get him back on color and Frank in the field as 3rd base coach.
Listening to Frank talk about baseball makes me think he is the AL version of Joe Morgan
He really says some stupid shit sometimes, at least in between the times he isn’t giggling at something stupid Lefebvre says.

Frank isn't horrendous., and some stuff that comes out is downright hilarious.
But Ryan and Splitt was one of the reasons I loved watching RSTN.
Oh I agree...
Splitt was money the other day… Im convinced they pulled him out of the booth because he said he wasn’t a fan of bunts, and he ragged on the “Runs well for a ____”

Maybe he's just hoping......................
DMGM’s blundering has stuck Trey with an awful bullpen, and he is so afraid to use Soria in a non save situation(bringing him in with runners on in the 8th, then hoping someone else can close out the 9th with no one on) that his best reliever is underused.

Zack interview....
at least he’s honest ‘I think we should have won at least 5 more games so far, and we’ve found a way to lose them when we should win them’ – That’s about all everyone has been saying anywhere else. None of our starters deserve what they are getting from the offense and especially the bullpen.

Tejeda usage question
How many times this season has Tejeda been used to start an inning, which he was quite effective doing last year, versus how many times has he been used in the middle of an inning, which oft proved to be a disaster-in-waiting last year? Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems that every Tejeda appearance of note (which means its bad) this year has been in a “fireman” role, which he has proven time and again he is not qualified for. Start the eighth with him, and if he blows up, okay, he blows up, which makes him like all of the other stiffs in the pen. But to put him out there in a jam with runners on is like dousing him with gasoline and having him hold a few sticks of dynamite while playing with sparklers—it’s gross misuse. Hillman can legitimately claim he’s got a crap pen to work with, but he gets no pass from not appreciating what it is about each guy that makes him crap and not use him in that situation.

Like Trey and DM
I get confused about all the fancy statistics. But I do understand ERA, and Tejeda’s is exactly 12.96. Yes, folks, that is TWELVE POINT NINE SIX. He has pitched 8 innings and has walked 10 batters. TEN. A lot of the batters he has not walked while racking up those 24 outs seem to have gotten hits (12), so opponents are batting .364 off of him. This leads to a WHIP (one of those fancy stats) of 2.64.
So not only is he still here, and Juan Cruz gone, but . . .
THIS IS THE ASSCLOWN THE ROYALS RELIED ON IN THE EIGHTH INNING TO TRY TO PRESERVE A WIN FOR ZACK.
