When you walk Jason Kendall, that's going to happen.

Mark should have had that ball.

I think Mark is pretty damn annoyed at this umpire's s***ty strike zone.

Pods picked off, lol.

Almost a DP.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) So what's a good (or avg OPS)?? His is like .750...that's not bad is it? Not trying to argue...just curious. .750 is very average.

These Royals have worn out that hole on the left side.

Isn't it sad that Yuniesky Betancourt always hits well off of Buehrle?

Looks like our luck has run out a little bit.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) I know he swings at crap and the first pitch all the time....but isn't he like a .285+ career hitter? If you want to talk average, yeah he's pretty good. But overall (like OPS, wOBA), he's barely average.

Single scores 2 now.

Andruw's hitting hangers about 2 feet, hahaha.

Hasn't anyone ever told A.J. to be a little more patient? For crying out loud, if A.J. learned what a walk was, he'd be a pretty good hitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) I missed a lot of last week, but since when has AJP been so wide open at the plate? Since he got his average up a bit. But he's been so bad for the last couple of games.

Carlos' eye has definitely improved it seems...

People, people, some communication please. Jesus.

f***ing Mike Aviles.

This home plate umpire has been the suck so far.

IF we can keep this at one run, we're lucky. Callaspo kills us.

Of course, Kendall scores. Bad inning so far. Not getting the calls and two seeing eye hits.

Those first two pitches weren't strikes (according to pitch f/x), but they sure as hell looked like it. BTW, Detroit already up 4-0.

This Royals team can hit a little bit. 16th in runs scored and 2nd in batting average.

We might be in for a bad offensive day.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) As much as we need a LH bat, I'd still rather see Jones than Kotsay. His upside is much higher, and he has never had much of a problem hitting RH pitching. He also improves the defense when he's in the outfield. But then we've discussed all of that earlier in the season. I understand that Jones' average really went south, but that may be attributable to his lack of playing time. Kotsay has proven that he can produce while playing very sporadically. After all, he's a great pinch hitter. However, Jones is a slugger, and he needs to play regularly to keep his timing sharp. If they are only going to play him versus lefties, they would be better off not playing him at all. Jones has actually been worse than Kotsay the past month and a half.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Boers sources may be old, but he rarely ever quotes them and they are trustworthy and have been around the NBA a long time, so if Boers ever cites his sources it would be really strong in my book... And Jason works with B&B...so maybe this has some credibility.
