when you have the slowest team in the history of sports (butler, buck, guillen, jacobs, etc.) and hardly any power to go along with it, that is a problem.

i've seen slower..... much, much slower

give butler time... he's improving as it is right now, so i don't see why people have their knickers in a twist over him

Alrighty people, I'm ready to get the Royals back in the "W" column after a miserable weekend.

Here's hoping that Hoch can get it done tonight and start a little momentum in Oakland as they come home to play the O's. BTW, Thursday night's game is being broadcast on MLB Network. (DirecTV channel 213)

don't like them bomb the hoch-a-mein trail

So what, we have a 4 game losing streak and all of the sudden the repository is relegated to page 3 of all threads?

Did any of you hear Ryan Lefebvre's chat with Soren Petro the other day? They were throwing stuff around and talking about whether the Royals would be buyers at the trade deadline. Lefebvre said he thought they'd be buyers and Petro agreed. Then Petro threw out the name Jake Peavy.

Ok it's all a dream but who would you rather have if you could only have 1?

Jake Peavy- With a rotation of Greinke, Peavy, Meche, Davies, and Bannister/Hochevar we would have a potentially great pitcher on the mound every single night.

Matt Holliday/Adam Dunn- A middle of the guy slugger who adds much-needed punch to the middle of the lineup and makes guys like Guillen and Butler that much more dangerous...although someone's going to have to sit that we might want out there.

Tejada/Cabrera- A shortstop who might not be a great hitter but would help us with our most obvious offensively weak positions, shortstop. Replacing Aviles gives us a stronger lineup 1-9 but doesn't give us a slugger.

Sherrill/Qualls/etc.- A closer or set-up man from a team out of contention will bolster a bullpen that might have worries about it's own closer's shoulder. Adding one of these players gives us a bully that can carry a game reliably from the 6th or 7th inning to the end.

The hitters make sense to me, but the thought of having Peavy in our rotation is almost enough to make me jimp. Thoughts?

It's going to rise and fall with the tide of winning and losing. Also, I've had work issues that have kept my CP experience to a minimum.

anybody who would jump ship right now is a pussy.... and good riddance to them

Agreed times 1,000.

Hey, I have a question. I've stumbled upon this thing called "Sports Pack" that DirecTV offers, and I'm wondering if this is a way I can get Royals games without buying Extra Innings. The guy was having trouble finding FSKC but he was a little sports-impaired anyways. For instance, he told me that he had good news because FS Rocky Mountain covered the Royals because it said "Western Kansas" *shakes head*

Anyways, does anyone know if this Sports Pack would cover FSKC? It seems to cover a lot of the regional Fox Sports Networks, and they have a special right now for 8 dollars a month for 3 months. If so, that really beats the crap out of the Extra Innings price.

i don't think he's going to get any faster. that's what i was referring to.

My favorite prospect, Blaine Hardy continues to impress: He has now pitched 28 innings, with ZERO BB and 35 K's @ Burlington (A)

Looking ahead to Baltimore:

They lost their hottest hitter today when Adam Jones strained a hamstring. He has 8 HR.

Quote:

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles lost their hottest hitter and perhaps their best all-around player on Wednesday night, when Adam Jones aggravated a right hamstring injury and left the game early. Jones tweaked his hamstring while attempting to leg out an infield single in the second inning and stuck around until the fourth.

Jones was diagnosed with a mild strain and is listed as day-to-day.

From MLB.com

Quote:

The Orioles gave Meche trouble last year; he was 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA in his two starts against them. He's 4-6 with a 3.42 ERA in 17 games against the Birds overall. Davies has pitched against the Orioles twice in his career, going 1-0 with a 10.80 ERA. Hochevar allowed eight runs on seven hits in two innings in his season debut against the Athletics on Tuesday night.

I heard on the radio today that the Royals won an appeal on that inside-the-park homer the other night. It's now an error on Guillen, and Meche has two less earned runs against him.
