verlander vs guthrie
scherzer vs vargas
porcello vs shields

I look forward to hating on that Jordan Schafer in the future....given he can stay out of AAA

As I was saying

Verlander is becoming a shell of his former self.

I think we hit well against pitchers who are becoming shells of their former selves.

Chen's ERA is now 7.45

i mean, it makes sense

ksupamplemousse · « **Reply #19683 on:** August 29, 2014, 12:03:01 AM »

oscar Chen is a really great guy, but is also a really bad baseball player at this point in his career. Time to part ways.

Yes we need to say goodbye to oscar, and Raul while we're at it.

i expected to check this thread this morning and find a bunch of morons with faces that look like this

cursing Ned for Brucing it up last night. to my delighted surprise, nope, just a bunch of level headed guys who are used to taking 2 out of 3 from every team we face, and losing a close game with our #5 starter. feels great you guys, i'm proud of you.

mocat · « **Reply #19687 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:27:56 AM »

our #5 starter has 10 wins. this is the royals we're talking about. 5 years ago our Cy Young award winner had like 12 wins. i mean what on earth. life is great right now.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #19688 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:30:09 AM »

mocat it is time to be done with Chen though. Just use Hendricks or something for long relief.

mocat · « **Reply #19689 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:31:31 AM »

oh yeah 100% on Chen. hit the curb trashdick. oh man, got him

mocat · « **Reply #19690 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:32:33 AM »

so we sent down Hendriks in place of this Nix character? i guess it's just for the weekend, and then we'll get the whole band back together

mocat · « **Reply #19691 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:39:53 AM »

you know what's awesome? The following teams are 6-4 in their last 10 games:

Royals
Tigers
Mariners
Orioles
Yankees
Indians

we are in the exact same spot we were 10 games ago. We've "cooled off" a bit and Detroit has "heated up" again, but look where we're at. Reason to be happy kids.

Thank you mocat. I am happy.

mocat · « **Reply #19693 on:** August 29, 2014, 08:49:54 AM »

you know what i would like more than anything? tonight's Detroit vs Chicago game to hit extra innings. Double header tomorrow

kso_FAN · « **Reply #19694 on:** August 29, 2014, 09:00:44 AM »

Good posting mocat. Get back to winning tonight.

Why would you expect people to be cursing Ned? We are in first place.

mocat · « **Reply #19696 on:** August 29, 2014, 09:06:56 AM »

one thing that i am a little concerned about but probably shouldn't be. From now until exactly 1 week from today, the Royals have 6 games. The Tigers have 8 games. We could go 4-2 and have a great week, and the Tigers could go 6-2 in the same week and end up only 1/2 game back. I shouldn't worry about that though.

j-dub · « **Reply #19697 on:** August 29, 2014, 09:09:49 AM »

that. or the tigers could go 3-5 and we all party

yeah! 8 games on the road is not easy if you are a team like Detroit full of a bunch of garbage losers

As Cf3 said last night, I think Ned played it right going for the win in the 8th/9th with his best bats at the plate. After he threw Bueno/Frasor to get to Herrera and Holland and a tie game we pretty much had to hope that Chen had some magic after the offense didn't get it done. Once we have call ups we'll have more options for a situation like this when one of the big 3 pen guys isn't going to pitch. I'm assuming Ned will keep oscar around for the occasional innings eating situation down the stretch, which is his role anyway.
