Wow -- good seats still available tonight in Kansas City. Looks like general admission.

[Reggie's Racquet]

Can someone calculate how many runs below average production Willie Bloomquist in RF is for the Royals? If it were over the course of a whole season?

Seriously have we come to this!

[Steven S. Dallas]

What's the MLB career record for names containing the word "nard"? Leonard DiNardo must be up there.

I just figured the number had to be so horrifically bad that I wanted to see it.

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Pretty sure three Royals touched that ball, but none of them could pick it up.

[TFisNEXT]

Shit, hell of a play by Gordon...Bay was robbed.

[FenwayFrenzy]

If Ellsbury and Pedey weren't so damn swing happy, we could have been talking about a 30 pitch inning. I'll take 20, though.

I hope Wake has "it" tonight.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is anyone else worried about the cavemen resorting to violence if Geico keeps hurting their self esteem like this?

[TFisNEXT]

Can't complain about Wakefield there...looked like he hadn't missed a beat since his first great start returning a couple weeks ago.

[Sprowl]

That's the perfect fielding opportunity for Wakefield: never has to stop off the mound.

[Papelbot]

Gameday is classifying all of DiNardo's fastballs as sliders. lol

[xpisblack]

By gum, I think he's got "it."

For lack of a better name - "change ups".

As to opposed 75, or so, Brad Penny post's representing a organisational deficiency over one start in a game thread?

Wow, a 5 pitch walk to Lowell...thats relatively hard to do. (though nothing like Seabass)

[Lose Remerswaal]

Good looking guy in the SoSH T shirt

[TFisNEXT]

Rocco!!

[Sprowl]

Lowell goes first to third! I'm flabbergasted.

[Papelbot]

I think his problem is he throws too many sliders...

Tie with Len Schulte-- Leonard Bernard Schulte.

Partial credit to Lenny Dykstra.

[mauidano]

That hurt watching Mike round second and slide into third. Rumblin', stumblin', bumblin'! However, Mike is Mr. Hustle!

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

He's been doing that all year. Mostly on doubles, though.

Lowell has looked a lot healthier in recent weeks. I think the days off are really doing him good.

[Max Power]

Are we really worried about driving up Lenny DiNardo's pitch count?

Seabass. That makes me frown.

[TFisNEXT]

Squander.


Seabass and Dreamboat give Lenny all of 3 pitches to get out of the jam.

It has not hurt him at the plate for sure. He has hit well and is looking confident; a professional hitter!

Leonard the Retnard Dykstra?

[xpisblack]

Leonard the Retnard Dykstra?

I gave him half a point each for his last name looking like dyke and sounding like dicks.

Jacoby thinks he's a home run hitter again. No reason to let a strike go by, or even a pitch close to a strike.

[Sprowl]

DiNardo's staple pitch is the 84 mph cutter to righties. He doesn't really have a fastball, although that cutter is his fastest pitch. It's something like a gyrocutter, in that it basically just sits there with close to zero net break, but it has always been tough on right-handed hitters.

[mauidano]

Wow! Look at V-Mart's glove; his first base mitt! Hey whatever works.

Zero net break?

So he has an 84 MPH fastball that gets righties out? amazing.

[someoneanywhere]

So I'm thinking that the third inning is the tell inning. Dunno why, but I get the sense that if they're meant to do some serious damage tonight, it begins to happen in the 3rd. And if not, well, the box score in the morning will read: LOB: 17.

[Harry Agganis]

Bats wake up in the third?

Wake looking good

[TFisNEXT]

Nice play by Lowell there...as said before, and maybe its anecdotal, but he has looked a lot more nimble in the recent month or so than earlier. He's still not gonna wow anyone with it, but it doesn't seem to be the total albatross it was.

[Papelbot]

I can't imagine these pitchers being what they had in mind when they designed Gameday's pitch recognition algorithms.

Yeah -- second time through should be telling.

Seriously. Why can't we get guys like that?

[TFisNEXT]

Nice play Lowell!!!

[Phil Coorey]

That's a great catch

[pokey_reese]

Lowell made 2 nice plays this inning, and I have really liked what I have seen lately.

[FenwayFrenzy]

I can't fucking believe he caught that.

[Sprowl]

Who put the benzedrine in Mike Lowell's ovaltine?

Alex Fucking Gordon did. Wow.

Three-way tie, actually- I forgot about Tonard Bernaznard.
