Like the Cardinals against the Pirates earlier today, the Mets could not take advantage of a starting pitcher who had a very high pitch-count, a bad strikes-to-balls ratio, and who issued a lot of free passes (3 walks in only 6 innings.)

For his part, Volquez record 15 out of his 18 outs via the groundball and the strikeout (10 groundouts and 5 strikeouts.)

(vs. TWINS, 4/09)

The Royals were the only team in baseball that did not yet have a home run from their offense this season.

They ended the drought when Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain hit back-to-back round-trippers off of Tommy Milone in the bottom of the 4th inning.

A Royals franchise (1969-Present) record was broken last night.

Danny Duffy struck 16 batters in his 8 innings of work against the D-Rays.

The previous Royals record was 15 strikeouts in a game by Zack Greinke. Greinke struck out 15 batters in 8 innings against the Cleveland Indians on August 25th of 2009.

    • What were the expectations?
    • And the difference with Cowser and Holliday is the team around him. Right now, our lineup is deep and talented, which allows them to let Holliday struggle through without majorly affecting the outcomes of games. Plus there really isn’t an incumbent player pushing him for time. Hays was the entrenched starter last year when Cowser came up, so the only way he was going to play in a pennant race was if he hit as he has this year. The problem with Holliday is purely this: unrealistic expectations. Give him some time. We will reap the benefits of this patience later in the season. You add his bat to what we already have?!?! Watch out!
    • This should be merged into the thread in the minor league forum.   https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/51777-seth-johnson-2024/#comment-3104271  
    • Hard to look at his start as “just a slump” when factoring in his second half of last year, too. 
    • Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?
    • Not even a platinum glove is worth that kind of abysmal production at the plate. Elias should capitalize on Hays' option and send him to Norfolk to play every day. If there's an injury to one of the OF's on the major league roster or he gets into a groove at the plate, call him back up. Give Stowers an opportunity - even just as a sparingly-used 4th OF - to reward him for multiple seasons of good production in the minors. 
    • Is this a serious statement?  Did we find out if Cowser was “cut out for the majors” last season when he struggled? Did we find out about Grayson last season when he struggles so much that he had to be sent down? Just curious, how long have you watched baseball? I ask because I have read several of these hyperbolic reactions when the kid hasn’t even played a full week of games and the first thing that I a think is what is this poster’s frame of reference? Have they not watched various top players/prospect struggle when first coming to the show? I don’t mean to be insulting but it get’s a little exhausting reading these type of instantaneous indictments of a 20 year-old uber-talented kid who has not found his groove after 25 ABs.
