    Tough losses for St Paul and Wichita tonight. To be fair, the results probably would have been better if they, too, had gotten to play the Royals. Nice to see Jose Salas do some damage with the bat!

    If Clark is there, take him. If it’s Jenkins, I would be so tempted to go Teel or Dollander.

    I think the 1970 staff would give this one a good run for it’s money… Jim Kaat, Jim Perry (Cy Young winner) Burt Blyleven, Luis Tiant, and a spectacularly underrated Tom Hall….and in an era where you used a 4-man rotation. Tiant and Hall were pulling up the bottom of the rotation. You had two hall-of-famers backing up the Cy Young winner. Then had to chose between Hall or Tiant on the 4th day. The only staff better that year was the historic Baltimore staff of Palmer, Cuellar, McNally, etc…and not by much.

    1 for his last 25…and K’ing at a 46% clip over the last 9 games. Bottom line, I don’t think he’s helped or hurt his prospect status this year. Very young for A+ ball…and spectacularly uneven in his performance. He’s the kind of guy for whom I would expect opinions to vary significantly. Wouldn’t surprise me if he flamed out completely, wouldn’t surprise me if he was an mlb All-Star.

    Only 9 behind Johan for complete game shutouts. And only 59 behind Blyleven.

    Either way, it’s all about sequencing.
  7. jkcarew
    Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
  8. jkcarew
    Both of these teams are at the very top of the league in terms of quickest average games. For obvious reasons.
  9. jkcarew
    At least it was a decent time to be stretching a lead and thinking stolen base. The boys apparently think base runners are cheap when playing the Royals

    Got picked off while NOT looking to steel, you say? Then he was in full REM.
  11. jkcarew
    Don’t like Castro getting all base steely with one out and Gallo batting. Wait to see which of the three outcomes happen…and attempt with 2 out if you get the bad one.
  12. jkcarew
    Not me. But on behalf of the future winner and local retailers everywhere, I’d like to thank those that did.
  13. jkcarew
    Someone forgot to tell Pablo that Perez is not allowed to K against us.
  14. jkcarew
    The talent has been on full display…as have the potential issues. Long way to go.
  15. jkcarew
    Fwiw…Orioles now 6-10 in their last 16. Run differential down to +13. Then come the A’s. The schedule is soft all July. Perfect situation for the FO to misjudge what this team is heading to the trade deadline.

    36-42 against the league; 7-1 against the Royals For the Twins, the Kansas City Royals remain that brief stretch of track between long tunnels.

    Rocco usually pinch hits here in the 2nd inning! That’s how much he hates Julien’s glove.
  18. jkcarew
    In a game not too distant in the future, that’s ball 4, and a great at-bat.
  19. jkcarew
    I do subscribe to the theory that ‘good’ managers probably get too much credit, and ‘bad’ managers probably too much blame. And since I’m pretty convinced Rocco fits pretty squarely into the latter category, I’ll not pile on here. I will say…all great leaders know that actions speak louder than words. Actions take more courage than words, though.

    Woods Richardson in no way ‘led’ anything with regard to the Saints win. It was 100% about the offense and the 4 HR’s (including a GS). Woods Richardson was bad…not even arguable. 10 baserunners in 5 innings, with one K. Lucky to give up only 3 runs.
  21. jkcarew
    Yeah, the knashing of teeth is about the hitting, not Duran’s blown save….for me anyway. Also 2nd time in a week the K’s were down significantly, and the hitting was still really really bad. The problems run deeper than the K’s.

    Great songwriter. Good singer. Bad pilot.
  23. jkcarew
    No…but it is who Henry Deutschendorf named himself after.
  24. jkcarew
    I tend to agree. Still, a very good outing.
  25. jkcarew
    Far Out!!
