royals are so weird about scoring after our opponent does

mocat · « **Reply #63405 on:** June 22, 2016, 02:15:05 PM »

that is a good trait to have

Cf3, to answer your question, I'd send Flynn down. I don't think we need to carry 12 pitchers and Flynn has thrown like 1 inning in the last month.

welp

this team is atrocious

If by atrocious you mean average then I agree

if there's a contract to be worried about, this is the one

1) we scored 4 runs in the series
2) we gave up 4 Homers

1) 3.18 runs per game on road is MLB worst
No AL team is below 3.70, one NL Team is below 3.50
2) We have allowed a AL worst 57 HRs in 38 road games (1.5 per game)

It's getting old, but shouldn't be surprising.

I still say Danny Duffy is a complete stud

TownieCat · « **Reply #63414 on:** June 22, 2016, 03:38:18 PM »

I just assume that we'll win every home game but lose every road game.

nah not at all. he has a 3.0 ERA, and that HR today was a good pitch.

i think they don't have the same hunger as they have in the past couple years. they bend over to teams which are less than they are.
it makes me angry. while we have been beset with injuries this season, i don't use that as an exbruce. it would be easy to say it's pitching but the reality is our offense is pudcity usa, population: the royals

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #63417 on:** June 22, 2016, 03:42:48 PM »

Duffy in his 8 starts...

First 4 innings - 31.0 Inn 5 ER
5th inning On -- 9.2 Inn 11 ER

He can't be this terrible when seeing the lineup for a 3rd time.
He has also allowed 9 HRs last 28.0 Inn

mocat · « **Reply #63418 on:** June 22, 2016, 03:44:46 PM »

if anybody ever says our pitching is the problem then you know that person is a dumb person

I think a lot of that has to do with going into the season as a reliever.

I remember last year my dumb person barometer was based on their opinion of Cueto and the Cueto trade.

the only AL team who has allowed fewer runs per game than the Royals is Cleveland

the only AL teams who have scored fewer runs per game than the Royals are Minnesota, Chicago, and Oakland (we have dipped below minnesota after today)

Another dumb person barometer I have is based on how they view Yordano Ventura

dick duffy has never been good later in the games. who knows if it's fatigue or the batters start to see him better. just don't try to make him something he isn't - take the stud early innings he can give you and try to get him out before you run into the crappy late innings.

the idea that every pitcher should either be good for 6-8 innings or is only good for 1 inning is kind of ridiculous.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #63424 on:** June 22, 2016, 04:24:43 PM »

he was in the 5th when he was relieved today sys. 5 innings is not unreasonable
