Kansas City Royals Baseball Blog » Robinson Tejeda http://www.royalshomeplate.com A blog about Kansas City Royals Baseball Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:46:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 My Apologies + Roster Moves http://www.royalshomeplate.com/my-apologies-roster-moves/ http://www.royalshomeplate.com/my-apologies-roster-moves/#comments Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:57:36 +0000 Landon http://www.royalshomeplate.com/?p=97 First off I would like to apologize for my absense from the blog, I was having some login trouble and was not able to post.

Moving on there are a few things that have happened since the last time that I posted. But let’s begin with some very exciting news! Ross Gload has been traded to the Florida Marlins for a player to be named later. To be honest that player could be named half a box of cracker jacks and I would be thrilled with the deal. Even though the Royals are believed to be paying a reported 1.5 million of Gload’s 2009 salary of 1.9 million I think this is a good deal for the Royals, whom are now able to give a roster spot to a more deserving player (Ryan Shealy, Brayan Pena, or Mitch Maier)

Also, Luke Hudson has announced his retirement from the game. Luke was a great find by Dayton Moore for part of the 2007 season, but due to shoulder issues he has been unable to return to form. Hudson is best remembered for his less than stellar performance against the Cleveland Indians, when he gave up 11 runs in the first inning.

Peralta has been released. Bale been placed on the DL. The bullpen is starting to take shape with Soria, Farnsworth, Cruz, and Mahay at the back end. Plus Tejeda and Jamey Wright who have appeared to have locked up spots. This leaves one other spot which I believe will go to Doug Waechter.

Opening Day is less than 72 hours away. More posts to come!

Meche pitched into the seventh inning but was charged with 14 hits and five runs including one home run. The Royals went on to lose to the Texas Rangers 9-4 in the game.

Meche of course took the loss and is now 10-10 on the season. One Meche left the game, Joel Peralta gave up two hits and three runs while Robinson Tejeda also gave up a run out of the bullpen. Those three pitchers simply did not get the job done on Monday night.

The four Royals runs were scored on three singles and a groundout fielders choice as the Royals played small ball and never really had a huge inning. Alberto Callaspo, David DeJesus, and Ross Gload had the rbi singles while John Buck had the rbi on the groundout.

The Royals were swept in the three game series against the Indians and well they are probably glad to get out of Cleveland!

Zack Greinke got the start for the Royals on the mound and gave up six hits and five runs (only one was earned) in five innings of action. Greinke did give up one home run in the game while walking one and striking out four. Errors really hurt Greinke and the Royals as you can tell with only one of the five runs being earned.

Robinson Tejeda and Joel Peralta were both tagged for one run in relief while Josh Newman was charged with three runs in the eighth inning. Every Royals pitcher that stepped on the mound Thursday pitched terribly!

Mark Teahen led the team at the plate with two rbi as he had a two run double in the fifth inning. Teahen then scored on a rbi single by Tony Pena Jr.

The score was 3-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but then the White Sox unleashed the big bats and went back-to-back-to-back-to-back and blew the game wide open.

Royals starting pitcher Kyle Davies was charged with the loss and is now 5-4 Davies didn’t throw that ball all that bad as he was charged with nine hits and three runs. Davies struckout seven white sox batters while walking two in his five innings of action. Joel Peralta was charged with three home runs and five runs while Robinson Tejeda was charged with one home run. I put the blame on Peralta and Tejada in this game because they put the team in a big hole after giving up those four home runs.

Once again it was only Jose Guillen who was knocking in any runs for the Royals at the plate. Guillen had a two run single in the first inning but after that the Royals were held scoreless. The bats for the Royals just can’t seem to get things going and it isn’t going to really make a difference if they do get going as the season is coming to an end in the next six weeks.

So how many Royals fans out there have pretty much stopped watching the games and paying any attention to the team? We will still be here blogging until the season is over so keep checking back!

Kyle Davies dropped to 3-2 on the season as he only lasted four innings on the mound.  Davies gave up five hits and two runs including one home run.  Joel Peralta tossed the next three innings of the game and he gave up four hits and three runs as well as walking two batters.  Robinson Tejeda pitched the 8th and 9th innings after the rain delay and he was just as good as Davies and Peralta as he gave up three hits and two runs.  The Royals pitchers just didn’t have it going on Tuesday night.   Hell, we can just about say that for every night.

At the plate the Royals only had six hits and struckout nine times.  Second basemen Mark Grudzielanek went 3-4 with the Royals lone rbi.  Grudzielanek had a rbi single in the first inning and after that the Royals pretty much were silent at the plate.  You have to swing the bats a lot better then that if you want to win.  Especially when your pitchers give up seven runs.

So will the Royals come out on Wednesday and avoid the three game sweep?  I really doubt it.

I should mention that Robinson Tejeda also gave up two runs as he pitched in between Hochevar and Gobble.  Yeah, it was a terrible night to be a Royals pitcher as they struggled on the mound.

Joey Gathright had a rbi single in the 8th inning and then scored on a wild pitch.  Billy Butler then added on a two run single in the 8th as the Royals scored all four runs in the inning.  It really didn’t matter how well the offense hit tonight because the pitchers were that terrible.

So was this the worst performance you have seen out of the Royals lately?  Leave us a comment and let us know!

Brian Bannister tossed 6 2/3 innings while giving up four hits and five runs to get a no decision in the game.  Bannister was hurt by the home run ball as he served up two of them in the game.  Robinson Tejeda gave up two runs while only recording two outs to take the loss in the game.  Tejeda is now 0-2 on the season.

John Buck had a rbi sac fly and a solo home run in the game to have two rbi.  Ross Gload also had a two run single to finish with two rbi in the game.  Alex Gordon had the other rbi which game in the first inning on a rbi single.  The Royals also scored one run in a Jose Guillen double play in the first inning.

The Royals will now have to win on Thursay to avoid the sweep by the White Sox.   I don’t think they will get the job done however.  Royals Blog
