It`s Duffy Time!

Last night, against the A`s, Danny Duffy go his first start of the 2012 season and man did he look good. Duffy went 6 full innings recording 8 strikeouts, allowing 1 run and had no earned runs. Overall I was very surprised by his performance, but to be honest the Royals pitching is looking great so far. in fact this is the best pitching in Kc since 2003 when the bullpen went 83-79, and had an average ERA of 3.80. Right now Kc`s bullpen is ranked 10th in the Young season and none of the Starters have given up more than 2 runs. The only player in the Pen to give up more than 2 runs thus far was Greg Holland. Right now the Royals pen has gone 41 innings in 5 games, allowing 37 hits, 12 earned runs, and have 38 Strike outs. Not to bad at all, I mean their Combined ERA as of now 2.68. Yeah, better than 2003 and it shows. they are 3-2, 1 game above .500 and on the road. This is a team first since 2007 when they got off to a hot start and crashed 2 weeks later. Hopefully the team can stay healthy and produce late in the season which can keep them in contention for the AL wild card race. Maybe even 1st in the Central hoping to crash the tigers hot start. We are Currently in second place,Only a game and a half back at the moment. Look for a tight race after the All-Star break. It`s Our Time
