So much for hope...... Royals lose Game 1 (and game 2)

^he knows if he wants the division he cant always rely on bringing in Soria in the 8th & he needs a solid bullpen contribution to win.

i am not big on Royals baseball so i dont know if Jaun Cruz should have came in or not; but i would have left Mesh in.

i am big on leaving starting pitching in late in the game if your not too confident in the pen.

like i said, you cant bring Soria in early, because on a regular basis that isnt going to happen, so i guess that was a good move.

i had to deal with Kyle last year, it wasnt fun; but it's only the first game, they looked impressive up to the 8th, so dont lose the faith.

I understand being a Royals fan.... just don't have ANY hope - ever

it will be easier on you.... and more fun if they actually start winning

Juan Cruz came from the Dbacks.  He was lights out last season but no one wanted ot sign him b/c he was a class A free agent so no one wanted to lose a first round draft pick by signing a set up man.

Yeah, word is the Royals are paying Farnsworth like 9 million and basically nobody really even wanted him.  That's a pretty bad situation.   We have other guys in the bullpen that are solid, like Cruz, Ron Mahay is a strong lefty could of done well against Thome.  And I never understood the psychology behind a 9th inning closer.  My thinking is that rather than just being so concerned about pitching him in the 9th inning that it would be wiser to pitch him in the instance when your team is most vulnerable and clinging to a 1 or 2 run lead.
