Really Freddy has pitched good thus far, but we give up a run thanks to a bleed single (on second look it probably wasn't Freddy's fault, it just found the right place) and than our piece of spiff left fielder made yet another blunder that cost us a run and made Freddy throw XTRA pitches.

Any real team woulda scored alot there...glad it was KC...again, thanks for your efforts Garcia and Pods...LAST year...best of luck to you in the offseason I hope

I'd be thrilled if our SP and LF were on a different team next season. It's too guys that have seen their physical skills deteriorate way too soon in their career.

 

Freddy will show you.

 

I promise you.

 

Put Mackowiak out there, and next time he lets a ball drop in front of him, Garcia will shake and TURN INTO A RAGING HULKAMANIAC ON THE MOUND!

-Pods f***up

-Base hit

-Lucky little POS

-Nice pitch, popup

-Flyout

-Groundout

 

Not a Freddy fan, but that wasn't all that bad.

Ok...could have been worse. Maybe that inning will be a positive...and lead to more Mackowiak in LF.

I think Mack and Gload should just start and leadoff. I'm not kidding either.

i really believe that neither of them will be on the team next year

 

I'll believe it when I see it that Garcia is no longer on the team. I have a feeling Ozzie is going to have a very tough time letting him go. As for Pods...I'm not even sure he's going to end up starting for this team by the end of this season.

i have seen pablo, he would have made that catch. so would mack...why do we have 3 of the worst outfielders (defensively) in the mlb? Dunn is worse, but he has a better arm by far, most of us even have a better arm.

I think Mack and Gload should just start and leadoff. I'm not kidding either.

 

I absolutely agree. Gload is bad on defense, but it's almost impossible to be worse than Pods out there.

Anyone notice Freddy's reaction after the infield single by Shealy? I think he showed up another teammate.

Charlotte up 13-0 in the 6th. Redding with a 1-hitter. Fields with 2 HR, 4-4, 4R, 3 RBI, Sweeney with a HR and Stew 4-4.

Nice job BA, tough luck

I actually think people are overly harsh on Gload's defense. He was pretty solid in the OF on ocassions in Charlotte when I saw him play and I think in his case you give him some consistent time out there and he'll be far better than Pods and is already no worse than Pods (yes, Pods really is that bad).

 

Plus Gload has a great approach at the plate and since Scotty can't steal bases, Gload really isn't much of a downgrade in terms of speed.

Maybe if our players would communicate on the field, they might have been able to have a chance to get him out.

Holy Crappers.

The Royals announcers seem to think Uribe is a part-time player. Am I missing something?

Gload is faster getting down the first base line now, as he hustles his ass off.

Great start to this game, no hitter through 3, haha.

Ugh...this lineup stinks tonight. We better hope PK and Thome are healthy, as our schedule is brutal for a few weeks.

I find this remark offensive... can you ban him please?

I've been calling for Mack to lead off for a while now. A long time.

7 pitch inning.

Well in general Gload is a very good base runner and a pretty heads up player. He's so consistent that i have no doubt that he could hit .300 or near .300 as an everyday player. He lacks pop but I also think he could hit 15 Hr's. Problem is he's always stuck on the wrong teams (behind so many good 1st baseman whether it was in Colorado, the Northside or here).

The one flaw I'd have with Mack is I don't think he does a good enough job working the count. But Mack would be a major upgrade defensively and like Gload, Mack is an above average baserunner who does the little things.

I can't stop listening to Aqua of late.

Seriously what the hell has given Pods this right to lazily run to 1st?
