No wonder Detroit is the way it is. They put ketchup on their hot dogs, according to that advertisement behind home plate at Comerica. Degenerates.

Start the game with a "reliever" and pitch 1 or 2 innings before giving way to the regular "starter" who will pitch the middle innings.
It's what the Rays have been doing with some success and now other teams are starting to pick up on it. The idea is you're using one of your best bullpen guys against the top of the other team's lineup and their best hitters. The Royals have actually been doing it down in Omaha, but they haven't tried it in Kansas City yet. |

Not a real good night for the young guns. Zimmer, Staumont and Lovelady all got tagged, and the Royals lose.

I'm surprised we were as competitive as we were tonight after the rain delay and late night last night.

Meanwhile Bubic continues to destroy single A. Look at this pitch. Just nasty.
In his last 6 starts he has a 1.39 ERA with 8 BB/49 K.

Even better: that’s High A. He might force his way to AA before the season is over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

We need some hitters to start showing their worth next year. Firing the entire coaching staff in Wilmington would be a start. |

Bobby Witt Jr.’s OPS slips below .600 in the AZL.
Darryl Collins stays hot by hitting his 7th double of the year. 17-year old from the Netherlands has been impressive. https://twitter.com/RoyalsFarm/statu...429083648?s=19 A 19 year old in rookie ball should be doing better, no? |

Witt's just out of high school. I wouldn't really freak out about anything he does considering he's played like 20 games. That's nothing.
The guys in Wilmington are much more concerning, but that park is just so horrible for hitting. It's remarkable really. But their strikeout rates are really bad. Lee just turned 21. His numbers aren't terrible, he definitely takes a lot of walks (he leads the Texas League in walks). That's something Royals prospects usually don't do. He also has 43 steals, which is a huge jump up for him. So he's showing some positives. |
