I think he will pitch Monday. They have an off day, so Hargrove will probably give everyone in the rotation an extra day of rest.

Damn, really? I thought it was Sunday, I wanted to go. In that case, hmmm.

Re: The King\'s debut...
 

So far tonight....8 IP, 3 hits, 1 run, 1 BB, 11 K's...99 pitches 67 strikes. Haven't been able to turn it on til just now....it is just the Royals but still, he's making them look completely foolish.

Re: The King\'s debut...
 

dude has a wicked fastball, lots of movement on it. He was hitting 98 tonight.

The curveball on that last strikeout was just nasty.

Re: The King\'s debut...
 

They were going over his stats on KJR last night ...

21 innings
11 hits -- all singles
21 strikeouts
2 earned runs
Lefties batting .100 against him
Righties batting .180 against him

Wow.

BTW, his 11 Ks tonight were the most by an M's pitcher since Freddie Garcia in 1999. Six years since a Mariner struck out more than 10. That's incredible, not to mention pathetic.

And only 3 walks

Re: The King\'s debut...
 

I may actually get off my fat ass and go out to Safeco to watch this kid pitch. He is pretty amazing.

I love that Morse hit a 2 run dinger in his first AB after sitting for 6 days. [censored] Scott Spiezio and his .040 average. It is an embarrassment that he is still on the roster.

Haha, no kidding, that's great.

That's it, next time he has a home start, we all have to catch a ballgame. Someone figure out when that is.

Re: The King\'s debut...
 

Holy Christ, watching the highlights and this kid is utterly filthy. That's a ton of movement on a 97 mph fastball.
