Greinke adds more scoreless innings, holding Boston at bay... In the last 3 starts, he's .26 ERA.. and drops his season ERA to 2.08. 15W, with six ND in which he allowed 1 or No runs. (wow)
It's a hard habbit to break! Every other forum I'm in is largely UBB or VBulletin or PHPBB, and all of them work by the Vbulletin tags, so the [setup] stuff works in all of them across the board. This is the only board I come to that is in this format.
And I =hate= using a mouse to go up and...
Grienke's season can be summed up last night. 7 IP, 1ER, drops his ERA to 2.12, now almost 1 1/2 runs better then anyone else in the AL... and still can't get a win *argh*
I just don't get the buzz over CC. He may win the Cy Young, but it'd be pretty hollow. He's 7th in the league in ERA. He's not in the top five outside of Wins and Innings Pitched (second in WHIP, my bad)
Strikeouts, ERA, everything else he trails outside of the top five. But he's in NY, and...
I completely disagree. While Lincecum has been great, as have Carpenter, the NL right now is just.. the hitting simply isn't there. If you look at the interleague play records it's embarrassing for the NL. And when was the last time they won an All Star Game.. (?) Face inferior product...
It's hard sometimes for people to really grasp how incredible Greinke has been this season. He plays on one of the worst teams in the league.. he has a defense behind him that on a good day could be called porous. They have the second most errors of any team (96) and one of the lowest fielding...
Grienke pitches a team best, 15 strike out game, dropping his ERA to 2.43, now a full run better then anyone else in the AL.. but only 12 wins to show for it (boggle)
But at least the Royals aren't the only emberrassing thing in the league lately.. this out of a recent Dodgers game makes it...
The KC Royals are now subject to a local campaign which made me laugh out loud when I heard it on the radio this morning: "Now is the time to Sign Kenny Powers" Petitions going around. :) Hilarious radio this AM.
Please, Zack, as a Royals fan.. please, get to a club that can use you. Anywhere else, you'd win the Cy Young and you'd have 4 more wins.. another 7 innings, no ER. And another loss, thanks to a 9th inning HR from the bullpen. The Royals get blanked by a 6.8ERA pitcher.
What does it say...
With the level of run support he's getting, I'm surprised Zack Greinke hasn't gone on a blow up spree of beating up his teammates.
And at this point, I'm not sure that isn't a bad policy to adopt.
Over the next two days, I expect to see Rick Monday's saving the flag clip to get tons of play; they aired it again in the game I watched tonight. First, it was a great moment, it's a great clip.
But, because I also believe America is about some criticism.. Rick Monday is maybe one of the worst...
A deserved arrest comes through: Man indicted for death of Angels? Adenhart - Baseball- nbcsports.msnbc.com Hopefully some justice will be done. In KC, Greinke continues to be just unbelievable. We're through 10 starts, he has a sub-1 ERA (.84) and the lowest walk ratio in the league...
It's also perscribed in men as a HRT to help control weight gain.. ie, like an illegal weight loss drug. But, putting Manram aside, Royals win again, and sweep the homestand, taking out AL East leaders the Mariners 1-2-3.
The reason why anyone raised the comparison is because of his streak. Only he, Randy Johnson & Walter Johnson have produced similar streak #s for the start of a season. I wouldn't put him in that category. As to 2005.. he lost a lot of games like 2-1, or where our defense was downright...
Greinke grabs another COMPLETE game with NO ER. Awesome. Stats after tonights game: WINS 1. Zack Greinke , Royals 6 2. Chad Billingsley , Dodgers 5 2. Roy Halladay , Blue Jays 5 4. 8 more tied with 4 STRIKEOUTS 1. Zack Greinke, Royals 54 2. Javier Vazquez , Braves 50 3. Dan...
Grienke is about to set the record books, maybe a bit early though, has to go a few more innings. Through 7 innings no runs. Which means he will have the lowest ERA for 6 starts at the begging of the season... ever. (.41ERA as of right now.. SICK) If it weren't for a sick kid, I'd be at the...
Buster Olney: Zack Greinke might be ready to win a Cy Young - ESPN (ESPN says 69, but the KC Star and others listed it as 67) Now, if you're the batter, that's the most confusing thing you see. Fastball (first was a foul) fastball (strike) so you're ready. And then the pitch comes by...
I have to say, I think the Royals are somewhat screwed; our manager does crazy things and we just aren't there yet as a team. But, there are few things I've enjoyed more then watching Grienke hit the mound. That kid is unbelievable. Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals - Recap - April 24...
I think the advantage the Royals have is that the central right now sucks. But yeah, watching Meche and Grienke is a treat. While he can't use it often, it's awesome watching him go from a 94 fastball to that goofball 61MPH curve.. he rarely throws it, but he threw it twice last night and it's...
How the hell did the Royals manage to hold onto a talent like Grienke? I've watched this kid pitch several times, and when he is one, he's like watching a young Greg Maddux. It's not fireball and tons of strikeouts, but his pitch sequence is mesmerizing... to go from a fastball to this goofy...
Just an update.. the murderer has been charged with 3 counts of murder. He blew a .21 on the breathalyzer based on reports about 3 hours after the accident, which puts his level at the time of the accident likely above .24... three times the legal limit. But what probably helped cook his goose...
I'm biased, because in Jr. High, a classmate and his entire family were killed by a drunk driver.. on their way to the hospital to deliver a new baby into their family, everyone in the car was killed. The father was on the way to the hospital in a seperate car, as he left straight from his work...
