Wilson Betemit and Zack Greinke Lead Royals to 3-2 Victory

Wilson Betemit's WPA - 0.412
Zack Greinke's WPA - 0.302
They were pretty much the story of the game. Wilson knocks in all 3 runs while Zack only gives up 1 over the 7 innings he pitched.
In other news:
Zack looked to possibly be injured in the 3rd inning on a suicide squeeze.
Jose Guillen hurt himself running to first. There goes the basket of balls we would get from him in trade.
A young fan interfered with a ball in the 8th inning. It probably saved the team a run.
Wakamatsu had the home plate umpire check Soria for cheating with 2 outs in the 9th.

apparently the white logo on his sleeve was not within regulations.
so that's been the M's problem
Perfect!!
Okay, well maybe we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a ri-tard.

then DDJ threw the ball back to him

Good to see Zack get another win
Great game from Betemit. Guillen could have taken another step or two to avoid that double play. Eff you, Jose. Spout off about leadership some more, why don’t ya.
Thanks for the recaps ya'll.
Wish I had stayed up to catch this one. It is always really nice to win games, especially when it has textbook gut-punch written all over it like this one did.
Real shame Jose got hurt.. It will likely lead to more Betemit at-bats, not Kila ones. He might get called up but he’ll probably warm the bench.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
This prompts an interesting question:
Who would we rather see, Kila or Commissioner Gordon?
by powderbluepower on Jul 7, 2010 12:56 AM EDT up reply actions
Kila
Gordon really does need to be working on his OF defense. and we’ve seen less of Kila.

Kila no doubt

Somewhat irrelevant
When Callaspo’s better, Betemit’s gonna be the regular DH. I’m so glad they gave him a lot of time at SS in Omaha so Ned could plug him in there to get his bat in the lineup.
It's all ball bearings these days!

Zack's run shouldn't be earned, should it?
Aviles’s throwing error should account for that.
That's what I figured
it’s an unearned run unless one of the scholars herein can tell us differently.

good, thanks
i thought i was losing it.

So it was just a bracelet Soria was wearing?

No. What it was was mind games.
Wakamatsu was trying to get into Soria’s head, plain and simple. The issue came from the dugout, not the batter. Wakamatsu thought he had to try to get Soria out of his rhythm.

i think it was a logo on his sleeve

Kendall can scuff a ball just by rubbing it any where on himself
He is the grit master.

Yo I read this on MLB.com and I thought it was hilarious
This guy was ready to kill himself if Davies pitched again:
As for Davies, give him away for a bag of peanuts and a comic book – please – before I jump off my roof headfirst!
dude might have spare mattresses in his yard

They asked Yost if Ichiro wouldve scored.
With straight face, he said no. He had to say no, but I cracked up when he said it so matter of factly.

Did he at least make something up?
Like, “No, because I was going to shoot the fucker in the leg?”

there are those on lookout landing
who think ichiro would not have scored

Now the question of whether we will move Zack up to pitch Sunday instead of Lerew...
You have to do this, right?

zack is pitching the first day back from the break too

it is a smart move. and...the obvious move.
however….i feel like trey may have effed that up. Sorry….ditching more dirt on a man’s grave there…

It's true it would have made too much sense for Trey to do it
That is probably why Zack on went 98 pitches tonight
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
they have stats that already predicted he would not make it

By the way
Jason Bay’s errorless streak ended today, meaning DeJesus has the longest active streak among everyday player (Randy Winn’s is longer, but he plays sporadically).
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
Oh wait, I'm watching highlights now.
I think Winn made an error in that wild Rockies 9th.

I'm really worried that we will see Ankiel instead of Kila.
I can see DM looking to having more outfield flexibility. That will make me soooo sad. Can Betemit fill in the outfield in a pinch as well as bloomy? Or…is he just IF. I know now that he is slow…so…not sure. Please NO Ankiel!! (ever)

I heard
Ankiel is coming back to take over in CF AND third. Sometimes during the same game.
