Notes From Game 52

post from The Voice of Yankees Universe on 02 June 2009 11:04:21 PM. © The Voice of Yankees Universe

Mark Teixeira did not take kindly to being hit by two pitchesThis afternoon, Michael Kay interviewed Jorge Posada on his radio show, and Posada said something that was very telling - along the lines of, “This team never gives up. We feel like even if we’re down a few runs in the late innings, we [...]

Jesus Promoted To Trenton

post from The Chuck Knoblog on 02 June 2009 11:02:00 PM. © The Chuck Knoblog

After two months of .967 OPS ball in hi-A Tampa, Jesus Montero has been promoted to AA Trenton. That makes him a 19 year-old playing in AA, which is almost unheard of. He was one of the younger players in the Florida State League, and now he is in the high minors. The move was made partly due to his hot hitting but also because the Yankees want both Jesus and Austin Romine to catch every day. Romine will stay in Tampa as Jesus works on his defense in Trenton. I would expect him to continue to have success at the plate, but he really needs to concentrate on his defense behind the plate so he can stay at catcher. This move is very exciting for Jesus and for me, becuase now I can go see him play.

For awhile it looked like the Rays might give the Royals enough of a hand to win this game. Kyle Davies again struggled with his control, but thanks to seven strikeouts and some key caught stealings, the game was still tied at 2-2 in the 6th. The Yars took the lead on a Matt Joyce double, then expanded it two innings later on a Joyce homer. Game over.

23-28? Yikes.
Miguel Olivo had a nice game: two runners thrown out on the bases, a single, and a home run. Sure there was also the obligatory Olivo K in there as well, but this was one of his better all-around games of the season. Oh, and he reached base on a strikeout for the second consecutive game. Love his plate approach!
Although mysteriously all the awesome game-calling things Olivo does when Greinke pitches again were strangely absent with other dudes on the mound. I hope we can figure out why this happened.
Jose Guillen had a revenge homer against one of his former teams today.
TPJ got the start, had an epic single, and pointlessly hit with a runner on in a 4-2 game in the 7th inning.
Ho-Ram danced with the devil a smidge, but escaped, sorta. At least he didn't allow any of "his" baserunners to score. We'll have that ERA under 6.50 in no time.
Look, I don't think Hillman is an especially good manager, but most of the blame for nights like this should be on Dayton. The Royals are clinging to an idea that Juan Cruz is good at this point, and between the starter and Soria, that's really all there is.
Royals vs Rays coverage, Royals vs Rays boxscore.
