2008 Royals - June

Buck needs runners in scoring position. He's incredibly productive in those situations.

Roid Ankiel get the Cards first hit of the day. It landed on the other side of the wall in RC

Except for his first at bat with Teahen on 3rd. Or does he need runners on both 2nd and 3rd?

And how sad is it that our pitcher is probably more of a threat to get on base than our catcher?

And our 1st baseman.

GLOAD MUST GO!

[SubGod22]

I forgot Gload has struggled as well. He does so well for me on 2K8 :D

Personally, I'd like to see Butler called back up in the not too distant future and be given the main job at 1st. He did well there defensively and will probably continue to improve. I know he doesn't have the greatest range but.....

I know we could play Teahen there but I like him in RF. Although if we have anyone in the OF in Omaha that could contribute on a fairly decent basis I wouldn't be opposed to moving Mark to 1B, Jose back to RF, David in LF and Joey in CF. Then whoever they'd bring up could rotate in wherever. That lineup there probably gives us the most production with a guy like Butler DHing. But I still hate to see Butler start out his career as a DH only.

Looper is PH for Thompson.

[RoyalShock]

LaRussa pinch hit Braden Looper for Thompson in the 5th. Thompson had only thrown 60 pitches.

Please, KC, don't ever switch to the NL.

[SubGod22]

Now they bring Izzy in to pitch.

[SubGod22]

Aviles gets caught stealing. I haven't seen enough of him to know if that's something he'll be able to do decently or not?

[SubGod22]

Teahen with a two run shot to right. 4-1 KC in top of 9 with one out. But Buck is up. Soria I'm sure is warming in the pen. Unless he has the day off.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

they did say Mark Teahan was the next Giambi.

So far its been more like Jeremy not Jason.

[RoyalShock]

Keagel sure proved me wrong today.

[SubGod22]

12 pitches and 10 strikes and the game.....is......over!!!

Soria is amazing!!!
