Doug Davis's Splits

 

Davis is 2-1 in his career against Kansas City despite a 5.74 ERA in six starts, and has no decisions and a 9.95 ERA in three outings at Kauffman Stadium. He has struggled on the road this season, posting a 6.87 ERA vs. 3.67 at home, but had something to build on in his most recent start. Pitching at Miller Park against the Tigers, Davis worked seven scoreless innings, allowing three singles while walking one and striking out nine.

Brandon Duckworth's Splits

 

Duckworth makes his third start as a Royal since being acquired from Pittsburgh and his first at Kauffman Stadium. He took the loss in his Kansas City debut June 13 at Los Angeles, allowing six hits and two runs in 5 2/3 innings. Duckworth had the same line five days later at Houston but got a no-decision. He threw 94 pitches in each outing.

Well after 3 games against a minor league team, we are back playing in the bigs. Bring back Pitt!!

Oh boy... Sonic Slam Inning. I predict we hit a home run - Johh Buck

 

(the use of the expression "oh boy" really amuses me... happy go lucky and inevitable failure all rolled into one.)

I predict a few more weak grounders and maybe a few hits that result in a few more stranded base runners.

 

Man this game has been agonizing.

"You may own a jeresey, but you didn't earn it. Thank you Mr. Duckworth! Quack, quack, quack Mr. Duckworth!"

 

"Gordon. Knock that off."

 

"Quack, quack, quack."

Astros and Reds lost today. A loss by the Brewers tonight would be frustrating.

I was hoping you were going to predict that we lose this game like you did yesterday.

But, today, I predict a win.

[adamb100]

All these games are must wins if we wanna get into october. Playing 500 ball is not going to get this team in the postseason, now's the perfect time to get hot, while everyone else is getting cool.

Hmmm, apparently they don't realize how it went when the Brewers played the Pirates last month.

 

C'mon, Sharpie, how about a sharp outing tonight!

[tomwopat]

At the game, and the rain is coming down pretty steady. Has there been an announcement of when it will start?

[Riebes24]

Is it raining in KC tonight? I thought I heard Uecker say something along the lines that he hopes we have baseball tonight...

[AJAY]

Oops, I did not realize this game starts at 6:00. I just turned on the radio and the pregame show is already on.

[JoeH33]

Weather.com shows scattered T-Storms until around 8.

[AJAY]

Daron and Bill were saying the game will probably start in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

[parkside21]

tomwopat, are you checking in at the game with a laptop? That's bf.net dedication...

[parkside21]

AJAY...I think they met the game will start soon, but rain is supposed to return in an hour and fifteen minutes...that's how I understood it anyways...

[parkside21]

Guess not...it won't start until at least 6:30, at least that's when they'll be back to update us...but then why did Darron say in the pre-game if Doug can pitch quickly we can get through it in an hour and fifteen minutes? I was left confused...oh well...Anyone know anything good on tv until we get back underway? I'm contemplating Mythbusters on Discovery, or Modern Marvels: Axes, Swords and Knives on History....any other suggestions?

[AJAY]

The Scrubs and Twinkies are playing on WGN.

[Terok Balefire]

They meant there will be a break in the weather so Doug will need to pitch quick before more rain comes.
