The Royals are coming home after a 4-2 road trip to start the season. We think these guys are going to be pretty good. It would be really nice to win the first home series against those guys from the Bronx.
According to Royals Review, the R's have gone 117 hitters without a walk. That is Penaesque. If Buddy Bell was still managing this team, we'd blame it all on him. But he's not, so we'll consider this an alarming anomaly for now.
How come guys like TPJ can't figure out that taking a walk ON OCCASION (not a lot, just once in a BLUE MOON) will enable them to play this game for BIG money for a lot longer. As it stands, and defense is still hugely important at SS, the Royals can't afford to give TPJ 500-plus at-bats.
The Tigers aren't looking so good.
The Twins probably aren't going to come very close to winning the division, but they should continue to be a difficult opponent. They still catch the ball and they've got a good bullpen, etc.
How many runs did Tomko give up yesterday? We told you he was gonna suck.
We're setting the over/under for the number of times Butler hits a ball off the wall AND gets thrown out at second trying to "stretch" it into a double at 15. But we still love the Big Donkey!
Butler could win a batting title this year. Would he be the slowest player to ever lead the league in hitting?

I am commenting mainly to let you know that you have readers so you should keep doing this.
I assume your comment about Tomko was an attempt at self-deprecating humor.
I agree about the walks.
It seems like Butler can only hit. He can't field and now we find out that he can't run bases.
I H.S. ball you can substitute a runner for the catcher with out taking the catcher out. We need to create a Butler Rule that will keep him off the base paths as well as the field.
Thanks for the support! Yeah, Tomko did a pretty nice job. It would be a huge bonus to get something out of the No. 4-5 pitchers, assuming the top three are going to be pretty good. And Butler is definitely a one-trick donkey. Thank God he's really, really good at hitting the baseball. BD
