Know Thine Enemy: Royals Review
Here we are, with just two games left in the season, and we're still in this thing. Scoreboard watching is a reality at this point, but because the Tigers and White Sox won't be playing until this evening hopefully the boys can have 100% of their focus on the field. It's not going to be easy; the pressure, the must-win situation, and the the 800-pound gorilla in the room that comes in the form of a 6' 2", 190 lb right hander.
Joe C. asked Gardy if he was encouraged by how his team performed versus the immortal Greinke last weekend. The reply?
“Listen, we’re encouraged because we’re swinging the bats well, we scored some runs last night, scored runs in Detroit off pretty good pitchers, too. We’ve faced [Roy] Halladay and beat him. We’ve battled against [Justin] Verlander, Greinke — we’ll take our chances. We’ll do the best we possibly can. This team’s got a lot of gumption about it, so we’ll just see what we can do. He’s pretty good.”
I love it.
Nick has returned to early-season form over his last three starts, literally money in the bank as he's allowed just three earned runs in 20.1 innings. Today he's rising to the challenge of pitching on just three days rest, when the only way to guarantee that tomorrow means something is to win. That's as complicated and as simple as it is today. Win, tomorrow means something. Lose, and it could be over tonight.
If anyone but Zack gets the AL's Cy Young award this year, it will be a crying shame. Having said that, he needs to be denied his 17th win today. We'll leave it at that.
This is Minnesota's A-Team. Against a right-handed pitcher, these are the nine guys you need on the field. Once again, Mauer is behind the plate; nothing can be held back today.

really
Duensing available in relief? Have we forgotten how terrible he is as a reliever? Gardy doesn’t want to win is my only conclusion.

Also Detroit is starting some guy named Figaro
On the mound today. ERA of 5.74. They are saving Verlander for the yanquis.

Verlander
His day to pitch is tomorrow. It is stupid to run him out on short rest. I am surprised, though, that they are sending out an untried rookie. Verlander will pitch tomorrow if the game means anything.

Don't have a choice.
The rainout on Tuesday or whatever day it was pushed Porcello back, and he’s too young and to special to throw on short rest.
Figaro isn’t as bad as his ERA, he was hurt earlier.

I’m a little sad I have suffer through Fox… but I’m happy I actually get the game at all.
I also hate to rough up Greinke… but it’s our only option.

Not sure! I’m sure they’ll let him go pretty high on the count but they also have to protect him for the future as well.

He's pitching for the Cy Young
They’ll let him go 210 pitches if he needs to

All he'll need is another 15-20 of those fastballs that singe the black.

Chiming in from Chicago.
Blackburn is throwing a gem. The Twins need to sit out Greinke—stop swinging at the first pitch—and they’ll be OK. Go Twins.
They haven't been swinging at the first pitch
They’ve done a decent job of working the count with Grienke, he’s just either making good pitches or we’re hitting them on a rope right at someone.

He is definitely the Cy Young winner. He didn’t even have to pitch today to get my vote. I don’t think it should be any contest, really.

Would not have bunted with Span there, but then I’m almost always against the sac bunt.
