Mendoza's been with the Royals for like 4 years. He started 20-25 games last year. Where have you been? He's older but put up good numbers in AAA. People seem to doubt him because he doesn't have electric stuff... but he seems to do a fair job.

He hit a 3b when I saw him in surprise.

Come on baby. 1 more key hit here

Our home run leader up with 2 on

jacked a homer in one game I saw and turned a nifty double play in another. Getz has looked ok though this year but nice to have a guy who can fill in at multiple positions and isn't Yuni!

Stung a few balls there.

Was escobar born with braces?

yeah, I'm pretty happy with our middle utility guy.

:facepalm: take the lead then give up a leadoff walk....get it together

That bobblehead looks nothing like Butler! Glad Hud called them out. Horrible.

leadoff walk scores...who saw that coming?

6th inning
 

Top 6th

Butler grounds out to second
Perez flies out to right
Cain strikes out (swinging)

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 6th

Utley strikes out (swinging)
Howard grounds out to second
Young strikes out (swinging)

0 runs, 0 hits

Mendoza has done a nice job tonight. If we walks another guy or gives up a hit in the sixth, it's probably bullpen time.

Also we have a lot of good wood on the bench tonight, if we can get a right hander in for Philly.

Nice work Mendoza. How about 1 more inning

Mendoza nastyville in the 6th. Nice job!
