50 Games in.

The Royals played a strange game for game 50. They were down 7-6 to the Rangers after the second inning. 6 runs in two innings and they were still behind! The game went sideways after that. The Royals pen held the Rangers scoreless for 12 innings! Paulino, just picked up from the Rockies, pitched well. Hell the whole pen minus Crow pitched great baseball. The game was won with homers by Melky, Hosmer and Pena. 12-7 in 14. Wow what a strange game. The Royals pen has a chance to be their savior. Paulino, Teaford, Collins, Coleman, Wood and Soria. I really like the fact they have two lefties in Teaford and Collins. Coleman will be the closer soon. Crow probably should be but he will probably be the next starter experiment. Collins has had control issues. I don't like to cry but the Royals have been squeezed by the plate umpire this year. That makes these young kids try to be perfect. Just a thought. The Cardinal game really stands out. You know the one with the Little League ump!
Hosmer is the real deal. The kid talks about having to make adjustments. Then he makes the adjustments and gets 4 hits. The Butler extension was good at the time, but it may be money wasted. Billy cannot produce. Hosmer already has more homers than Billy. He has played 19 games! He will pass Billy in RBI's soon. Kid is good, but Billy sucks at producing runs. 23 wins in 50 games. Not too bad. A good pace. 70 wins will be had if the pen and the offense continue to be good. Chen needs to get back. Francis needs to settle in. The big plus in the rotation is Duffy. Duffy and Hosmer are the start of some great things.
Here's hoping that game 50 starts the Royals on a 10-4 run! That would be cool.
Go Royals, get 70!
