with Singer pitching so well is it coaching? I read your articles all the time and i know how you feel about the pitching coach, but why has Singer turned the corner?
My favorite part about Vinnie being the third Royals rookie to homer in both games of a doubleheader is that it hadn't happened since 1969. Lou Piniella and Bob Oliver both did it that season. So it happened twice that year, then not again for 53 years. If I may quote Jayson Stark, "Baseball!"
You know of any reason that teams wouldn’t have provided decent offers for Barlow at the deadline? Because…relievers were flying so I find it very interesting they wouldn’t have had anything decent. The only thing I can think of is the royals said they listen….but A) they either have the reputation of asking too much and other teams thought it wasn’t worth the time. Or B.) The royals weren’t really listening or working all that hard on it. None of which are really great. Just curious if you heard of any actual reason behind it. Because the player was one of the better ones which makes me think they didn’t try too hard.
One more comment and I’m done for today. But can I just say how refreshing it is to see a Royals team that plays baseball finally like the rest of the league. No longer do you have to look at this lineup and think….”man, if they can just string together 3 hits in a row here…”. It is nice to see 5-6 guys that can actually cause damage in a row. A walk and a bomb….bloop and a bomb…boom two runs like the first game yesterday. I still can see a situation where they struggle a bit next year (thinking of 2013 a bit) but still. Welcome to playing like the rest of the league now guys!
Speaking of bizarre calls from broadcasters, I noticed a really "good" (i.e., bad) one over the weekend. Couldn't believe it. In the bottom of the 6th Saturday night, Hud solemnly informed us, "Man, what a pitchers duel we have here tonight!"
At the time, Lynch's game ERA was 6.00. Eovaldi's was 7.20. There had already been 4 HR's. Sometimes it's hard to believe that the man ever actually played the game. Both starters were out of the game after the 6th inning. A "pitchers duel"? Really????
God, it must have been annoying to have that guy as a teammate. The incessant mindless babbling day after day after day for endless months…whew! No thank you!
