August 21 ,2011 Royals Game
The kid had his good stuff Sunday, Ned Yost noticed, and his good command, too.
Despite yielding a leadoff walk — in which he kept trying to make the perfect pitch — Danny Duffy escaped the first inning of the Royals’ 6-1 loss to Boston unscathed. But Yost, the Royals’ manager, still wasn’t going to let his rookie left-hander overthink this. Not when he was matched up against one of the best pitchers on one of the best teams in the American League.
“Danny,” Yost told Duffy in the dugout, “let everybody play. You don’t have to strike everybody out.”
Duffy had heard the whole “pitch to contact, trust your defense” mantra from managers before, but never from Yost, so he figured he’d better listen. And while the Royals still fell to the Red Sox 6-1 on Sunday, it’s hard to imagine Duffy — who rebounded from a rough start in his last outing to allow only two runs on five hits in six innings — could have pitched much better.
“This is the best I’ve seen Duffy look in a while,” Royals infielder Mike Moustakas said. “He was in the zone, making pitches when he had to, keeping guys off balance. He gave us a chance to win.”
The Royals didn’t, of course. But a lot of that can be attributed to the performance of Boston’s own left-hander with top-notch stuff, Jon Lester. Lester, 13-6, carried a no-hitter into the fourth and allowed only one run and three hits in six innings as Boston , 77-49, took the finale of a four-game series at Kauffman Stadium.
“Jon Lester, he’s just bona fide,” Yost said. “He’s a premier pitcher in the American League, and he showed why today.”
Yet on this day, the difference between the 27-year-old Lester, a Cy Young candidate a year ago, and the 22-year old Duffy, who dropped to 3-8, wasn’t that wide.
When Duffy departed after the sixth inning, the Royals only trailed 2-0 — an encouraging sign for a rookie who is still feeling his way around the big leagues after he was pounded to the tune of eight runs in three innings in his previous start against the New York Yankees.
“The mistakes (Lester) made were way up out of the zone or way down out of the zone,” Duffy said, “while the mistakes I made were right over the middle of the plate.”
Two mistakes in particular cost Duffy. The first came in the fifth inning, when he hung a curve to Boston catcher Jason Varitek, who drove the pitch to right for a triple — his first in almost four years — that gave Boston a 1-0 lead.
The second (and more frustrating) mistake came in the sixth inning, when he wasted a 0-2 count to Darnell McDonald by throwing a 94-mph fastball that caught too much of the plate. McDonald, who entered the game with a .175 batting average and four home runs, muscled the ball to left for a homer that made the score 2-0.
Lester, meanwhile, was cruising. Through six innings, he’d allowed only one hit, a single to catcher Salvador Perez. But after the Red Sox tacked on another run in the seventh against reliever Aaron Crow, the Royals hoped to mount a comeback when rookie Johnny Giavotella led off the bottom of the inning with a triple. Perez followed with a walk, and Lester — who was well over 100 pitches at this point — allowed a RBI single to Moustakas.
With Boston’s lead trimmed to 3-1 and runners on first and second and no outs, Red Sox manager Terry Francona decided to call on his top setup man, hard-throwing right-hander Daniel Bard. And the combination of Bard, who retired the next three batters in order, plus a three-run eighth that made the score 6-1, immediately ended any hopes the Royals had of a comeback.
The defeat was another bitter one for the Royals, who dropped to 52-76 and ended a seven-game homestand against the Yankees and Red Sox with a 2-5 record.
But Duffy, who called the performance “a step forward,” says he will take it as a learning experience. It’s likely he will continue to battle himself, at least until he figures out how to control his aggression on the mound.
But Yost’s message in the first inning Sunday, and the results Duffy found after he listened, showed what can happen when he trusts his defense and doesn’t try to strike out everybody.
“Sometimes less is more,” Duffy said. “I’m going to come at you every start, but I’ve got to learn to ease up a little bit.”

Link Exchange with The Dugout Cards and Collectibles
This is a great site and the manger of this site told me that
My name is John and I have started a new website that I thought would interest you. I have created the second largest website selling individual/common/single sports cards. I currently have over 200,000 cards for sale from 1974 to 2009. I had got back into collecting a couple of years ago and I went to go buy a couple of cards from a Local Card shop to finish some sets and they charged me an arm and a leg. When I looked on the net, there really wasn't one place for me to buy cards from. EBay and others are just multiple users that you can never trust. I have a 100% guarantee on my cards because I send all of them out personally. All the cards I send out are NrMint to Mint unless other wise noted. I was hoping that you could maybe do an article on your blog about my site or maybe post a link on your page. If you have any comments or suggestions to make it better, please let me know!!!!!

A day at Coach's Corner
It has been a long drought, first we had high gas prices then the economy crashed. However, I did work a little over-time this week so I had a little extra cash on hand. So I decided to take an adventure to "Coaches Corner" a card shop in Belton, Missouri. I found that it had been 14 months since my last visit. Well anyway, nothing had changed, you couldn't even tell the economy was bad by looking at this card shop. The owner's nickname is "Coaches", he was talking baseball and the chances that the KC Royals have this coming season, it reminded me of the old days when there was a card shop on every corner.

Link Exchange with The Golden Age of Baseball Cards
Wow!! I haven't did a link exchange in a long time. But today we have one with The Golden Age of Baseball CardsThis is a great site I like the The Greatest Baseball Card Ever part of this site. The manger of this site says: "How can anyone classify a baseball card as the greatest ever? I don’t know, but I’d like to try. Who is the greatest player? Babe Ruth? Mickey Mantle? Ted Williams? Hank Aaron? Barry Bonds? Many others come to mind. However, in trying to determine the “Greatest Baseball Card Ever”, we will examine more than the particular player’s ability, the scarcity of the card or its worth today. Certain criteria will constrain the choices to a reasonable number of cards. The cards eligible for this honor will be limited to those that were most popular with boys growing up, when cards were purchased throughout the summer as each series became available, before factory sets could be obtained, and when collecting cards was something that kids did for fun, not for investment purposes. Other considerations are listed in the “Greatest Baseball Card Ever” section of this website."
Right now the 1956 Mickey Mantle is listed on his sight. It is also one of my favorite cards eventhough I do not own one. The Mantle card definitely is one to see. click on the above link and view it for yourself!

Times are Hard
Times are hard as everybody already knows. Thankfully my wife and I still have our jobs. It is always good to let people know that you are a baseball card collector. You never know what may happen. This is my blog for tonight. A friend of mine came upon a whole binder of baseball, football, & basketball cards. Well, he just gave it to me because he new I loved the cards!
Below are some of the cards that were added to my collection from this find and my friend.
I am really happy with this Ken Griffey All- Star card that I didn't have. I remember in 1990 this card was really a "hot" item.
This 1991 Nolan Ryan Golden Arm card was my next great find in the album. I had several of these Pacific Trading Cards of Nolan Ryan but this is baby picture card is a happy edition to my collection!
This Willie Mays Baseball Heroes is another card I didn't have, I am really happy with this card. I always liked to say "Hey Kid!"
This Ken Griffey Sportflics yet, another great find for me. I have only purchased 2 packs of Sportflics in my whole life. However, I have traded for quite a few and this card really helps my Sportflics collection.
Last but not least this 1993 Topps Gold Card of Dave Winfield is my favorite of the five cards posted from my lucky friend find.
