Gameday Thread: Royals (38-45) @ O's (41-40)

Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 1, 2008 7:05 PM EDT


Uh ohhhh. Slow death march to .500 and beyond?

7:05 :: MASN :: 76° W 9 MPH (WNW) :: Rain: 30%

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Luke Hochevar - RH - #44 13 78.1 4.60 1.51 .271 8 36 48 5-5
Radhames Liz - RH - #62 5 23.2 5.70 1.39 .230 4 13 18 2-0

Liz has really only pitched poorly in one game (6/20 @ MIL). He's also amazingly allowed exactly four hits in every single start. Hochevar had a nice eight-inning outing against the Rockies last time out, but the defending NL champs are 19 games under .500, so big deal.

I just realized

Liz’s BAA is .230. That’s not half bad.

That’s all.

ERA

...isn’t so hot, though.

by therobotian on Jul 1, 2008 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

His ERA is largely a result of that one terrible start. The rest of his starts have been fine, exactly what you could expect from a guy in his position in the best case. His WHIP is good, his K-rate is good. He could stand to cut down the walks, obviously.

I thought Danny was pitching tonight...

but, hey, it’s Rad. Time to rearrange some fantasy line-ups, then.

by getxstoked on Jul 1, 2008 4:50 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Goal for Rad: Pitch at least 6 innings

Obviously walking less would help that along. He’s only pitched 6 innings in one of his starts (Pittsburgh). Liz, Olson, and Burres all need to step it up in the innings pitched department.

Went to teh PIT game, and his stuff was good. At least, what I could tell from 200 feet away or so…

Golden opportunity for Liz

The Royals probably have the worst offense in the AL. They are tied for 12th in runs scored despite playing in a hitters park.

They are last in the AL in walks.

They hit RHP even worse than they hit LHP (693 OPS vs RHP, 749 OPS vs LHP).

Their best hitter (DeJesus) is out due to injury. He’s also the Royals best hitter vs RHP (885 OPS).

I’d really like to see Rad dominate here. I hope I didn’t just jinx him.

Hochevar can be nasty when he’s on.

But that doesn’t mean that Liz shouldn’t shred this lineup.

that game against the cubs...

he was really dropping some ridiculous changeups. i think duck and i were talking about one at bat versus derek lee where he threw a 94 mph heater than, like, an 83 mph changeup for the whiff-k. it was pretty sweet.

just sayin'

This is interesting.

My 17-year old cat, Normandie, has just told me she’d be happy to play shortstop for the Orioles, in return for a case of catnip and some yarn to play with. Oh, and someone has to buy her a very small glove.

Does anyone have a number for The Warehouse?

17 is pretty old

We’re trying to get younger, zk, younger! Besides, I already got an try out for my cat. They like that she’s a local cat, they think it’ll help with hometown pride. Plus she’s already got orange, black, and white fur. It’s a perfect fit.

17 is Julio Franco in cat years

But my cat is 15 so I guess there isn’t too much advantage.

I can’t even find words to describe how stupid this is. And I thought “I’ll domestically violate him” was as bad as he could get. I was wrong.

Where they give you total offensive production by a position? They don’t seem to have it on baseball-reference though they do have defense by position.

you know

I have no issue with Buck thinking that starting pitching is the way you win in Major League Baseball, but his insistence that it’s essentially all you need is a little dumb. Plus, bringing up Tampa Bay is goofy. They can hit, for one thing, and for another thing, they dominate at home. They have the fourth-worst staff ERA in the AL on the road.

Adam Loewen has very good stuff

And I don’t know how some people think otherwise.

He gets great late movement on his fastball and he throws hard enough for a lefty. His breaking stuff is just nasty.

Too bad he has zero command.

by dkdc on Jul 1, 2008 9:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, and my daughter's fast, too

and can’t hit the strike zone from 20 feet away. Fast and movement don’t do a hell of a lot of good without hitting the strike zone, at least occassionaly.

Agree completely

But the guy gets a raw deal around here and some people claim that he has no talent.

Yikes, I didn't realize til last inning's break that Buck was also The Man from Glad.

And Adam Loewen sitting on the bench looks like a large, precocious 12 year old got into the clubhouse by mistake.

On the other hand, if that’s the way 12 year olds are pitching now…

I must say

you’re not one to let personal likes get in the way of objective analysis. You were JW,B!’s biggest cheerleader last year, but recognized quite quickly this year he wasn’t getting it done. Yet another reason I pay attention when you make a pronouncement on a player – you’re usually right, and with data to back you up.
