PrintKip Wells, Luis Vizcaino, Alberto Arias, Josh Newman, and Darren Clarke Juan Morillo (according to KC's announcer) will step on the mound today. The Royals will have Brian Bannister, Kyle Davies, Ron Mahay, Jimmy Gobble and Joel Peralta. Luke Hochevar, a Colorado native, was scheduled to appear, but the Royals had him start a 'B' game this morning.
How about an outcome far more favorable than Tuesday's?

Juan Morillo
Is scheduled to pitch according to the Royals announcer, he didn't mention Clarke, so I guess we have a bit of a mystery as to who it will actually be come the end of the game.
First round of cuts
According to Renck, the first few cuts should be made today after the game.
With minor league camp getting under way, I'm guessing guys like Rogers, Nelson, Hynick and Strop will be on the list.
It's the Royals?
I'm.... not gonna watch. Ay yi yi.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Woo-hoo Brandon!
Nice one!
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Ugh...
I really don't like how many walks and HBP's Wells has allowed this Spring. Like we were discussing yesterday, hits I can deal with, because it means the pitcher's almost ready. All this wildness says to me that Kip's not really close to being ready to help the team.
Well, I must note
that I (sure hope) we weren't signing Wells with the intent to be a primary contributor. We knew he had a garbage season last year and we were hoping that he could resuscitate it enough to be a viable fill-in if Morales couldn't go. Morales for now looks fine, but what with Hirsh and Cook having worrisome shoulder twinges, we're seeing that Wells is, clearly, not good enough for full-time duty.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Gordon with a bloop double
sends one across the plate and Grudz from first to third.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
And with an RBI groundout
Whoosh, the lead is gone. Of all our backup options, I like Wells the least. Although I don't really trust any of them. Please get better, Aaron and Jason.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
These announcers are funny.
There's no 50 home run hitter in the Royals' lineup or 75 stolen base guy.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
They are doomed...
Certain recipe for disaster that. Everybody in the playoffs has at least two of each, right?
Good Day
I am out of class and that means Spring Break just started. Headed to Tucson Sunday for 5 days of Rockies ST. Great way to get away from school.
GO ROCKIES!!! JFK
2 straight HBPs
Barmes and Nix. Sadly, that's probably the only way Jayson has gotten on this spring.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Bannister a bit wild
with back-to-back HBPs. Guess he needs to Fight On!
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
I feel I must say
that this lineup is pretty much made of fail with a few exceptions (Todd and Brad), and I'm really glad I don't have to watch it on a daily basis. Rockies fans, spoiled? Yes indeed!
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Todd
with a Todd special to push the go-ahead run across, 4-3.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
And then Brad
follows suit.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
And then Hendrickson walks in a run.
At least we won't see Fogg do that for the Rockies this season.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Stewart
kills the bases-loaded situation with another groundout.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Whuz Kata HR?
Clearly we need to fire Atkins now. ;)
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
JAYSON!
That must have felt really, really good.
Haha, Kyle Davies sucks.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Bellorin
is out caught stealing and Taveras takes strike three looking. All in all, a good inning with Nix blasting one over the outfield wall.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Willy T thus far this spring
is making me want Dexy F.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Anyone looking forward
to an announcer using Dexys Midnight Runners in connection to Fowler when he makes the majors?
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Trading home runs this inning
isn't a good idea, Chris George.
"Don't give up the ship!" - Capt. James Lawrence
Boooo
Bad George. I forgot, it's the Royals. There is no way on God's green earth we win this game.
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
Here's Clarke
Chris George wasn't on the list by the announcer, either. It looks like there was some false information given to the KC guys, who seem remarkably schooled in the subject Arizona Sparrows, however.
I wish
I knew how to communicate with birds. They know the secret to winning baseball games.

greg reynolds
Does anyone here know when Greg Reynolds
will be pitching?
will be pitching?
I don't...
I wonder if he got some action today in the "B" game, as it seems like it's been awhile since we've seen him.
Reynolds pitched in the B game yesterday
He allowed one run and four hits in his two innings of work.
So he did,
There's an interesting note about him here in Owen Perkins' piece:
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle mentioned Reynolds while talking about the pitching depth he was striving for coming out of Spring Training, explaining that he liked to have eight starters ready to go at the end of Spring Training.
"We've got a kid, Reynolds, that was probably ahead of everybody last year that's working his way back," Hurdle said. "We'll see how he works out. He'd probably be eight and a half."
greg reynolds
Is there a place where you can see the details of the "B" games?
Unexpected roster move...
According to today's press pass, Sean Thompson was released before the game today. Seems like an odd move (him being released that is, as opposed to sending him to minor league camp)
ZOMGZ
We beat the Royals?! Judging from the unholy juju they have over us, I was fully expecting Hollins to crack the game-tying homer and it to go excruciatingly south from there...
"Everyone was running up to me, saying, 'Manny! Manny!' I signed a lot of autographs and got to eat for free. It was bueno."
