Know Thine Enemy: Royals Review
Let's keep in mind two things from last night:
- Even after last night's offensive output, the Royals' lineup still only boasted two guys who hit better than .270.
- There are still two games left in this series to ensure the outcome is what it should be: a Twins series victory.
And a couple other things, in case you haven't read them yet:
- Jeff Manship will don number 49.
- Francisco Liriano is still starting tonight, as far as I'm aware.
- Kevin Slowey was moved to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Manship.
Starting Pitchers
One of Liriano's last four starts has been of the quality kind, and with this rotation on the edge of an abyss now would be an ideal time for him to step up and deliver a masterpiece. Not just for his own sake, to keep him in the rotation, but for the team. The Twins need Cisco, at this moment more than any other time in the season. Kansas City is a talented team, but a team Minnesota should still be able to beat. If the prospect of "the playoffs start now" hasn't come up yet, it needs to.
Early in the season I called Bannister Kansas City's number three pitcher. Well, after the numbers he's been giving them over the duration of the summer and a disappointing year from Gil Meche, I'm happy to say than Bannister is the number two guy. It's been an up-and-down season for Brian, and while he's never really been unhittable for any stretch of time he's still had periods where he's pitched very well. He's coming off a start where Oakland lit him up, so no doubt he's looking to bounce back. More than half of his balls in play have been grounders so far, thanks to a good cut fastball and a seriously effective changeup. Look for him to try and tie up Minnesota's left-handed hitters with that cutter.
Lineups
Royals
David DeJesus, LF
Willie Bloomquist, 2B
Billy Butler, DH
Miguel Olivo, C
Alberto Callaspo, 3B
Mark Teahen, 1B
Mitch Maier, CF
Yuniesky Betancourt, SS
Josh Anderson, RF
Twins

Orlando Cabrera, SS
Joe Mauer, C
Justin Morneau, 1B

Michael Cuddyer, RF
Joe Crede, 3B
Delmon Young, LF
Alexi Casilla, 2B
I'm glad to see the Royals offense still sucks. I'm also glad to see that Gardy is giving Delmon another night to hit, considering he's blasted two homers in his last two games; might as well ride him while he's hitting. It's also nice to see Crede's name on the lineup card again. First pitch in two hours!

As soon as Young
stops hitting home runs every game, I say get him back out there! I’d prefer to see Gomez everyday, but might as well let Young hit while he can.
Cisco better bring the stinky cheese
Because then the Royals will be too distracted by the smell to concentrate at the plate
as long as it's not the Twins stinking up the place
I have a morbid curiosity on what will happen tonight
Crede's back! Yay!
Countdown to next injury? :)
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. -Leo Durocher
Jesse, this is not a criticism of you at all, you do great stuff on this blog.
But as I read the paragraph on our starter I felt like I was having déjà vue. I feel like I have read this line for every Twins starter for the last month and a half;
Here it is without the name, insert your favorite starter!
One of ________ last four starts has been of the quality kind, and with this rotation on the edge of an abyss now would be an ideal time for him to step up and deliver a masterpiece. Not just for his own sake, to keep him in the rotation, but for the team. The Twins need _________ at this moment more than any other time in the season. (Random crappy team) is a talented team, but a team Minnesota should still be able to beat. If the prospect of “the playoffs start now” hasn’t come up yet, it needs to.

I wandered over to Royals Review
and they’re talking about couscous and ramen, pro and con, mostly. I don’t blame them. Could have been us last night.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
hahaha. Ramen, for sure.
says the college student. :)
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. -Leo Durocher
I wouldn't eat ramen for at least a decade after college.
Nor the little cheap frozen pizzas you get at the gas station. But couscous, I found, had an irresistible effect on the ladies. Never figured out why. Never cared why.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
well, couscous implies an at least basic knowledge of cooking
so yeah, we’ll go for the couscous. :P
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. -Leo Durocher
That may have been it.
Fact is, it may be even easier than ramen. But one doesn’t tell everyone everything one knows.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
I will pretend I didn't read that
so the next guy I come upon that knows how to make couscous feels special.

They’ve been in baseball hell for a long time, so kudos for them to still supporting them
F@#K Liriano!
Just when I was getting excited that he would be moved to the pen, he comes out and throws a good one! Putz.

I think it'll be good for Manship
less pressure for him
If Liriano can keep this up for the rest of the year
He didn't have control!

Young and Gomez awkwardly refused to give ground to the other there in that bloop single,
Young beat Gomez because he is desperate to show something, and you could see the frustration in Gomez’ face.

Actually, that was Span, not Delmon.
Delmon’s back out of the game.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Would anyone be willing to trade Cuddyer to get some pitching help?
Let Delmon play RF or LF for a season or two until someone in the minors can replace him.
Sometimes players need playing time to mature. I think he can improve.
there was one on that topic at the trade deadline,
ultimately, Cuddyer wouldn’t bring that much back by himself anyway.

'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Now here's where you have to feel bad for Royals fans
They’re bringing in Jamey Wright to follow John Bale? Not only are these guys bad, they’re OLD. And they weren’t ever really great to begin with. What would prevent them from bringing up about 5 pitchers from Omaha?
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Brian Buchanan (DH) has pitched in 2 games for the Omaha Royals
I don’t think anyone is ready in AAA.
Oh My Goodness.
You’re kidding, right? Brian Buchanan in Omaha? Wow. That’s just wrong. On so many levels. What exactly would be the point of keeping him on the roster in Omaha?

What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. -Leo Durocher
I am still wondering who the 1,000,000th visitor was.
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~Rogers Hornsby
Well, that'll work.
And the Tigres got pasted. Unfortunately it looks like the Sox are on the verge of getting over on King Felix, but it’s early yet in Seattle.

Hopefully the Sox lose again
Just to give us a bit of false hope :)

It feels nice to win again.
I remember when this used to happen the majority of the time. Odd. Seems so long ago.
But no, we will not be sad tonight, for we are now only 3 games under .500!

Indeed, for it puts buts in the seats...
….to prevent cutting payroll.
So what did Liriano do tonight different? I was not able to follow the game very closely, but it seems like was reaching back to his old good form.
looked to me like he was just hitting his spots
I was worried after the 1st run allowed but he still looked calm.
