High Mileage Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Oh definitely, I'm just not looking that far ahead, I'm a Royals fan. We're usually 10-15 games under. 500 at this point in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Royals now 29-32, winners of 6 straight and tied with Cleveland for 2nd place, at 5.5 games back. A week ago the Royals were in dead last and 6.5 games back. I think June will be make or break for KC, they are 7-2 so far, with this schedule coming up... 2 v. Detroit (Wade Davis v. Scherzer, Shields v. Verlander) 4 @ Tampa 3 @ Cleveland 3 v. White Sox 2 v. Atlanta 4 @ Minnesota It's funny how playing Houston or Miami makes a team suddenly look alive again. (Unless you are the Angels) Sox went throught that a couple weeks ago. Edited June 11, 2013 by LittleHurt05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Verlander's last two pitches were 96 and 97 MPH to Billy Butler (picking up the K). That's about as hard as he has thrown that I have seen recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm feeling for the Royals fans. It really looked like the rebuilding process was nearly over and it looked like it had pretty much worked, but a lot of those promising players have just not turned out. There is still season left to turn things around and I think their real arrival time was meant to be next season, but they are on the verge of failed rebuild, which is just a nightmare scenario as a fan.

caulfield12 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Royals did rally to pull this game out at least, 3-2. DET bullpen issues continue to linger. The thing is, this year, they're going to address it in June/July and not try to wait it out again. Justin Verlander tossed seven shutout innings for the Detroit Tigers today. He didn’t get the victory. The Kansas City Royals rallied for a 3-2 victory in 10 innings after Lorenzo Cain hit a 2-run home run off Jose Valverde in the ninth inning with two outs and two strikes. Eric Hosmer’s RBI single in the 10th inning to score Miguel Tejada from third base sealed the win for the Royals, who took two of three from the Tigers in the AL Central division battle. ■ Box score Verlander gave up just three hits and two walks while striking out eight. His ERA dropped to 3.41, but his record remains at 8-4. As for Valverde, he’s now 9-for-12 in save chances this season. He inherited a runner on first base after Drew Smyly gave up a leadoff single to Hosmer to begin the bottom of the ninth. After recording two outs, Cain hit the homer off an 0-2 splitter to left center. Phil Coke relieved Valverde one batter later to end the threat. Prince Fielder hit an RBI single in the first inning to score Avisail Garcia, giving the Tigers the early 1-0 lead. Then, a Brayan Pena double in the fifth scored Matt Tuiasosopo to make it 2-0. K.C. starter James Shields went seven innings, striking out six. The Tigers (36-28) now have a day off and travel to Minneapolis to play the Minnesota Twins for a weekend series. The first game is at 8:10 p.m. Friday. www.freep.com/sports Edited June 12, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Mileage Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Very pleased to take the series from the Tigers. Even though May was awful, and the record could and should be better, it's hard to be really disappointed in 30-33. As a Royals fan. The numbers say the offense hasn't improved a lot since Brett became hitting coach, but the situational hitting has been much better. The starting pitching and bullpen have been stellar in that span as well. Onto Tampa for 4, we always play like s*** in Tampa.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) What's that, 9 games in a row the Angels have beaten the Tigers? Weird. How can DET have such a lousy record with that starting staff and offense? It's more than just the back end of the bullpen, defense and Verlander's fall from Superman status.

Hopefully he can power the Marlins past us in the standings. Half joking. Still worried that Sale's going to overthrow his FB out of frustration and end up hurting himself. He's trying to win games by himself, and Chris throwing 95-97 hasn't been effective as at 90-94. Marlins with a walk-off GS to inch closer to the SOX, 6-2 over the FRIARS. Tigers had bases loaded in the 7th with no outs against the Rays and didn't score. K, forceout by Austin Jackson, Hunter tried to bunt and then was retired.
