Tomko looked absolutely horrible today (Sunday, 3/9). Is there a chance he was working on a new pitch? Like others I watched the game on WGN, but those guys (Len Kasper and Bob Brenly) obviously aren't privy to KC coaching scuttle-butt. Did the Royals radio announcers talk about anything in particular (i.e. bad calls from Buck)? Are they chalking this up to an horrendously off day? I don't agree with today's game thread, where it was asserted that he looked as bad or worse than Scott Elarton. But seriously, another performance like this and Tomko's a candidate for release: we'd get more from Hochevar even with rookie-year bumps. - TL
