April 22, 2008
Gil Meche couldn't figure out the Indians on Tuesday night. The right-hander allowed nine hits and eight runs over 3.1 innings. Meche served up two homers, including a grand slam.
April 11, 2008
Gil Meche allowed only five hits on Friday night but he also walked four batters and allowed five earned runs over six innings to pick up his second loss of the season. Meche has been on a near K per IP pace with 16 in 17.2 innings, but he has walked 10 batters thereby negating the advantage of the punchouts. He will right the ship before long and might be someone to target in trade talks as he could possibly be had cheaply.
April 5, 2008
Gil Meche failed to impress in his second start of the season, throwing 87 pitches (57 strikes) through 5 2/3 innings to surrender six runs (all earned) on six hits. Meche only walked two and struck out five, but the heart of the Twins' batting order abused him all day long. This brings Meche to a seasonal ERA of 6.94, having surrendered two homers with a 1.71 WHIP.
March 26, 2008
Gil Meche was dealt his second loss of the spring on Wednesday as he allowed five runs on seven hits over five innings against Seattle, with one walk and three strikeouts. His spring numbers are still solid at 3-2 with an 3.74 ERA, and he could be counted on to lead a young Royals' rotation this season.
March 21, 2008
Gil Meche pitched well on Friday as he allowed two runs, one earned, in 6.2 innings for the Royals. Meche, who singed a big contract prior to last season, had a great first year in Kansas City (3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP), and will look to lead a young staff again this season.
March 15, 2008
Gil Meche fared well on Saturday as he held the Brewers scoreless through the first three innings. He ran into trouble after back-to-back walks in the fourth but still finished with a solid stat-line as he allowed three runs on six hits over five innings, with eight strikeouts. He needs to have a solid season for the Royals and this was a positive outing.
March 5, 2008
Gil Meche allowed two hits in three shutout innings Wednesday in a Cactus League win over the Kansas City Royals, 3-1, according to the Associated Press. Meche did not record a single strikeout but also did not allow a single runner past first base. It was Meche's second positive outing this spring who hopes to work as the catalyst for success in Kansas City this season.
February 22, 2008
Gil Meche went only 9-13 last season, his first in Kansas City, though that record was more reflective of terrible run support than poor pitching, according to a report on the AP. "I’m not going to be a guy who’s going to be vocal and try to upset our hitters. Like I’ve said many times, this is the big leagues. Guys were trying.” Last season Meche received 3.92 runs of support per nine innings, the worst mark in the AL and the fourth worst mark in all of baseball. His record could easily turn around this year if he can match last year's solid work (3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) in the first season of his big money contract with the Royals.
