Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

More interesting tonight: Royals or Naturals (Montgomery's AA debut)?




Mike Montgomery makes his AA debut tonight.  What are you more interested in?

Star-divide

Montgomery takes on the Arkansas Travelers--AA team of the Angels.  The Travelers are 10-10.  They are 4th in runs scored in the Texas league this year.  Here is a link to the scoreboard, game starts at 7:10pm central time.  Also curious to see if Derrick Robinson is back tonight--he missed the last game after a hard tag while stealing a base.

Also, FYI: look for the debut of the 2010 Prospect Pulse on Monday.

I can see why people would be interested in AA

but the minors are only important as they lead to the MLB, which should mean to me that they are always secondary…

It's only exciting because it's Mont's first AA start

So I guess I would say I am more excited to see what happens in his first start than I am the Big Royals game tonight, but Im more excited about the Big Royals than the AA game itself

Yeah

The only thing relevant and interesting about the Royals org right now is who will/might be the future and how are they doing. That includes Gordon, Greinke, Callapo, Getz, etc, but you have to figure Montgomery will have as big an impact on the team going forward as any of those guys except maybe Samurai Zack or Soria.

Really curious about the change in leagues for Mike

I mean, I’ll be paying attention to both, but probably listening to the Naturals game. We’ll see how Montgomery responds to the better batters in AA.

Does "I'm tempted to jump in the car and drive to Little Rock right now"

answer your question?

I am now channeling Will McDonald's optimism.

Fortunately the game isn't in Springdale

We’re about to get hammered with thunderstorms here.

Why isn't this an option Will?
RHP Luis Mendoza starting tonight for Class AAA Omaha after accepting outright assigment by #Royals once he cleared waivers.

You laugh

Then when he pitches a 7-inning, 2-ER game and suddenly is back in KC…

Let’s hope not, but this seems to be the way it goes around here.

I'll delete my fanshot, but here is Dutton via twitter
#Royals put 2B Chris Getz in lineup after he is activated from DL. Batting ninth tonight at Tampa Bay. Callaspo to 3B, Gordon to bench.

Eddie: “Yeah, you surprised?”

Clark: “Surprised Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my ass sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.”

How about we all watch the ORoyals game?

Mendoza is starting and I know how popular he is around here.

Rain Delay

Montgomery 1.2ip 1h 1w 0r 1w 2k

he may be done for the night if the delay is very long.

Game called, ppd - rain

Looks like we’ll have to wait another five days for a real start from Monty.
