Lough will play next game. Maxwell will be leaving.

penbrook · 08-16-2013, 02:06 PM

We're now 1-7 with Getz leading off.

Just for S&G...

Since becoming the Royals closer on July 31 last year, Greg Holland's numbers:

75 1/3 IP
111 K (13.32 K/9)
1.67 ERA
1.02 WHIP
49/53 save opportunities
OBA: .184

Jim Johnson in the same time span has blown nine saves while getting crushed in every statistical measure.

But he's elite. Totally.

Is Davies gets his meat and carrots handed to him against the Tiggers, could Duffy potentially finish the year in the rotation?

I hope so. Davies...........It's like watching Kyle Davis all over again.

Funny you mention that because I also seem to associate the 2 all the time!

Yost on Duffy: "The rest of our starters are doing pretty well, too. We’ve got two weeks until…the rosters expand…"

penbrook · 08-16-2013, 02:39 PM

More Yost on Duffy: "We’ll let him go down and get another start or two and then come back up."

penbrook · 08-16-2013, 02:39 PM

Yost says Herrera, Crow and Holland all available for second game, if necessary, despite pitching in first game.

Good Lord. Maxwell can't even stay through this next game? It's a left-handed pitcher, the reason we acquired him for the stretch run, for God's sake. This is a playoff game as far as we're concerned. Grandma died two weeks ago. The other 59 grandkids can

while the most important grandchild does his job.

This post is gold.

CaliforniaChief · 08-16-2013, 02:43 PM

Because I'd like Gordon, Lough, and Maxwell to be our OF for the next game, not Gordon-Dyson-Lough against a lefty.

SPchief · 08-16-2013, 03:48 PM

Game 2 lineup
Carrol 3B
Hosmer 1B

I don't like Carrol leading off, but I guess it could be worse. Moose & Cain being gone is horrible for this lineup.

Is it a unwritten rule that you now have to have a OBP of sub .300 to leadoff for the Royals? WTF!
