I am off the grid for watching at the moment so none of this registers to me. this team is not going to win 3 games a week over the next 100.
there's nothing random or lucky about cardinal dominance of the reds organization, and there is a simple and empirical explanation.
Rigs just told Homer to screw himself for making his manager look like a fool. It's up to Romano now.
KC is one of those nightmare teams that has a lineup with everyone having the same skill set. It works about once a week. I've seen it in indy ball where everyone tries to hit the ball up the middle and nobody can rack one in the gap.I'd like to feel better about the pitching in KC, but after watching that outfit for two games the results come with a disclaimer. The Royals don't hit enough to be that agressive at the plate and their defense is even worse. They still put the ball in play and don't strike out much, but it's a much weaker version of what they were doing a couple seasons ago. It hard to walk a Royals hitter.
It's another scheduled off day and the 3rd in a 8 day span. With the two solid starts the bullpen is getting a chance to recharge their batteries, they'll most likely need it.
Yeah, 8 Pete Roses in the lineup is better than 8 Cesar Izturis.I don't see much difference in what the Royals are doing now compared to when they won the WS. The problem is the quality of the skill sets. The guys they have playing this season were the same talent level types they were casting off while they assembled their eventual Championship team. The Irving Falu and Derrick Robinson types that we saw pass through Cincinnati all fit the mold in regards to style of play, but they were 2nd tier talent.
