Holland is likely going to be fine. The Royals are likely still going to be mediocre. Everything is normal in the world.

True.

Kidd Lex · 04-06-2013, 08:12 PM

Hollands the right play in that situation. Yost made the right call. That's baseball, 27 outs or bust. Shit happens.

It's still early in the season- Yost

LH Tim Collins was the best option; then, if he's in trouble after facing Utley and Howard, bring in Holland to take on Young.

We've heard how Yost is able to set his lineup with LH & RH hitters alternating throughout. He knows the advantages of pitching-hitting match-ups. For him to have a righty facing 2 dangerous veteran lefties is absolutely stupid!!

He's your closer. You bring him in no matter what to close games.

This team has no margin to hand away wins. That's why they suck. If they do this once or twice a month, that puts them in the AL Central Cellar for sure.

Im-F'ing-possible.

They are not going to have someone warming up at the beginning of the inning. No one is going to be even available to pitch after the 2nd walk.

Holland should have faked an injury so they could bring in an inferior pitcher who would get unlimited warmup pitches!!

They've tried him there a couple of times and he didn't perform real well, if I remember correctly. He seems to be confident so far this year, and that's a big plus.

What were the odds that lucky piece of shit was going to hit a double when they weren't getting those hits all ****ing game? Should have settled down. He pulled that lucky ass hit out of his ass.
