Kirk, yo...Yes, Royals lost 100 or more in 2004-06.<br /><br />Kirk, you are killing me with those numbers, killing me.

I'll get unlazy and look eventually.<br /><br />My son and I got a huge chuckle out of Dibble's remarks, too. Shouldn't the fact that some no-name just hit one 1,284 feet off the projected closer be MORE of a cause for concern, my son asked?<br /><br />Bright kid, even for a Braves fan.<br /><br />Agree on Maxwell and Desmond, two of my picks to make the team. Weak swing by Max on strike three and Desmond has to swing at that third strike.MikeHarrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120210292656990693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-17369549087414612652010-03-16T12:40:30.213-04:002010-03-16T12:40:30.213-04:00Worry? Absolutely. When was the last time a team...Worry? Absolutely. When was the last time a team lost 100 games three years in a row (I need to look that one up)? Bet it's been awhile. <br /><br />Last night was my first chance to watch the team in action this year other than for Strasburg's two innings. I swear I was watching a replay from a June game last year. Crappy first inning to get behind immediately, bullpen throws gasoline on the fire and absolutlely no timely hitting even though the game was still within reach. The biggest disappointment for me was actually Maxwell and Desmond striking out to effective kill a potentialy 8th inning rally.<br /><br />I also have to call out Dibble for excusing the home run Capps allowed (which is just coming down out of orbit as I type). He said, "oh, that's a young guy (the batter) whose not going to make the team just swinging as hard as he can," or words to that effect. On a night full of him, Carpenter and everyone Debbi Taylor talked to on the sidelines making excuses and speaking "Bull Durham" speak, that was the worst.bdrubenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-83183980314356500312010-03-16T12:02:43.157-04:002010-03-16T12:02:43.157-04:00Mock has shown some ability to be a big league pit...Mock has shown some ability to be a big league pitcher. 7.1 k/9 is not elite but it's respectable. He walks a few too many. The 114 hits in 91.1 IP would be worrysome until you see his .360 BABIP. Given a normal BABIP of .300 he would have given up only 92 hits facing 422 batters with equal k/BB numbers. Now that's something we can build on.traderkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991003445537922192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478750914084047598.post-15213838522676142942010-03-16T11:50:20.123-04:002010-03-16T11:50:20.123-04:00I'm with you on Mock.

I still think he's AAAA at best.<br /><br />I just asked this same question on Nats Insider- Why is Stammen being relegated to the pen if not Syracuse so quickly? He missed his last start due to rain and his first start was no worse than Mock's first or third outing. <br /><br />Seems kind of strange to give up on the guy so quickly. He certainly pitched better than Mock last year. And Olsen.sec314noreply@blogger.com
