July 29 - KC vs Tillman & the O's

[Mooreisbetter27]

Jones looked great in his first at bat.

His last two he's looked bad.

[Hank Scorpio]

Jones still has issues identifying the slider with regularity.

[Hank Scorpio]

Arrieta continues to struggle @ Norfolk.

Ugh.

[catjuggler]

100th pitch.

[Arthorn]

Remember that one game we scored in the first inning, and failed to get anything going offensively after that?

[Mooreisbetter27]

Well this should be Greinke's last inning.

[mrbig1]

We're not going to score again are we?

[O-The-Memories]

How does this outing get a C-? 3 HRs suck but they were all solo shots.

An ERA of basically 6, not making it to five IP, three HR's to the Royals, missing spots up in the zone, and not commanding your curveball are bad man. This sort of start by Guthrie would have board up in arms about how many HR's he gives up.

It was the kid's first start, and I've seen a lot worse debuts. But he didn't pitch well tonight, and a C- would be generous if it weren't for the circumstances of a long rain delay, rookie debut, etc.

I still like his fastball, and he didn't seem rattled by anything. His change-up looked DEVESTATING a couple times. But he had a pretty bad start as far as starts go.

How can you expect to score runs when only 4 of your 9 hitters have a chance of getting a hit. 6-9 are hopeless and #4 is worse.:cussing:

That's what happens when you get a good pitcher on the ropes early and don't put him away. This team just finds ways to lose. It's who they are....

[ledzepp8]

Pretty nice play by Wiggy and Albers there, although Albers almost overran the flip.:eektf:

[El Gordo]

Greinke can't go 9, I hope.

[Hank Scorpio]

Greinke can't go 9, I hope.

If he does, he'll probably throw 185 pitches.

Well yeah but good pitchers are good pitchers for a reason aren't they? Like they get out of jams and stuff.

Well you load the bases, and then send up Wiggy, Melmo, Zaun, and Izzy what would you expect?
