Broxton time!

heh. :evil:

Would be nice to get some insurance runs.

What 3B's are going to be available for us to trade some of these bullpen arms for?

ROFL

Unnecessary pitching change. Glad it worked out OK.

Peralta is only slightly better against lefties than righties (.040 difference in OPS).

Meanwhile, you've got Collins in there, who has still limited RHB to a sub .700 OPS.

i shit in your general direction

Bullpen looks good tonight. Good to see. Really, as deep as our pen is and given how sharp they were last year with a larger workload, we should consider moving to a four-man rotation consisting of Shields/Guts/Duffy/Mendy and move Davis back to the pen. Deal Santana to restock the farm a little bit or as a piece to acquire a legit corner outfielder/second basemen.

Is that a T-Rex shit?

Wow @ that 0-1 pitch Fister just threw.

Gawd Salvy has such a nice simple batting style

Please be the good Holland. :grovel:

Holland better throw strikes coming out of the pen. I really don't like him as a closer because I don't think he throws enough strikes.

Please dont let this one slip away

Its amazing seeing the HR totals we have this season. Hosmer has 1. Our #3 hitter has 2. Our DH and cleanup hitter has 5. Batting 5th - Cain - 2 HRs.
31 HRs total in 61 games. JFC.

:shake:

There's 1

One.

First strikeout. Pretty good, gotta keep it up though.

Ok, nice start. 2 more.

Anyone know the record for least amount of HRs hit by a team in a season?

wow ... holland starting off good.

I continue to be amazed at the lack of appreciation Royals fans have for Greg Holland...

Congratulations, Royals

There we go!

I'm sure it is really, really, low. 100 years ago, you could hit 10 HRs and win the HR title.

Right on. 6 straight.

Holland isn't elite.

We win... Even with fat guys suqing balls!

-King- with the game thread mojo.

Dude is en fuego.

Man, if we could just steal one with Davis tomorrow.

Holland is no Jim Johnson

Holland is better than Soria ever was IMO

.

Okay, the Royals gotta be third on that list.

I wish the Royals had Jim Johnson.

Maybe if we could trade Billy Butler for him.

Wait, Billy has no value.

Soria was good for quite a spell. At times he would dominate

I try to do my part.

Holland update:

Since May 1...

14 IP | 18 K | 1 ER | 0.64 ERA | 0.79 WHIP | 7/8 Save Opps.

His performance this year is on par with Joakim Soria in his prime. I just don't understand why more don't appreciate that.

Dude, you're sick if you think that. Soria in his prime was saucing ****ing nasty all over the plate.

w00t!

Ummm... no.

Uh.... no. In his prime Soria was freaky awesome.

The year Holland is having is every bit as good as any Soria year.

Pretty epic. I hope we break out the brooms and swat the cats out the door.

Uhhhhh........no. Dude, just stop. Holland, while doing well, has nothing on the nasty, butthurt Soria put on hitters.

He's damn good, but if you look at what Soria did in 2008 and 2010, it's pretty unbelievable.

Soria's 2008, he put up a 270 ERA+. He wasn't quite the strikeout artist Holland is, but he had a couple of seasons that were even more dominant.

There was a period of about 2 years where I was surprised when Soria allowed a base runner. Holland is a great closer, but he's had his moments of inconsistency with his command this season.

It'd be so great to win this series. It'd to so much to catching up to first place. Each game in this series counts twice as much.

Nearly 30 years of shitty baseball will do that to you.

Last year KC had 131 HRs, which was 26th out of 30 teams. We're tied for last with the Marlins this year, on pace for about 81 HRs total. It's especially pathetic being behind all the NL teams, considering we have the advantage of a DH over a pitcher.

If the Royals catch fire and Holland gets enough attempts...I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see him match Soria's 1.60 career best ERA.

Holland doesn't have the nasty that Soria had. Doesn't mean he isn't or won't be good. Just not the same.

Hes no Jeff Montgomery

I have never seen a pitch as filthy as Soria's hook. NEVER. That thing was tighter... well I'll skip the crude analogy this time. It was tight.

Holland has nasty stuff. I don't know why fans underestimate him. He struck out over 90 guys last year. I don't think Soria ever did that. He has 35 K in 23 IP this year... if he gets enough chances he might make a run at 100.

Holy shit. Kick ass! :clap:

Half a game out of 2nd now.

If he doesn't have another rough patch... yes, very reachable.

really?

a month ago you wanted to demote him

I always thought Soria should have been a starting pitcher.

For my closer? I'm taking the K guy every single time.
