In KC, well, nothing really went right for him. I think he had one hit. I also remember being ABSOLUTELY pissed at Liariano for the dud he laid there on Sunday. This was a series way back in middle April though, and the Colorado series was after it, so it seems like he has definitely worked some kinks out of his swing.

I was specifically watching him in Denver, since I figured he would have some MONSTER shots, but not at all. He was hitting liners, some wicked, some the softer variety, but nothing but liners. He was ON the ball great.
In KC, I didn’t pay nearly as much attention, but I did see him hit a moon shot that was a REALLY wicked liner to dead centerfield. Pretty much tatooed it. I got the feeling that in Denver, he was using Vavra’s techique while in BP, but he went back to his swing during the game, which seemed to be pretty good anyway. He didn’t scorch anything like he did in BP, but he did get several doubles in the games on perfectly placed hits, and ended up very well for the series. I actually thought he had the best series on the team.

I haven’t been to any games since (travel budget is pretty much blown for abit, dang price of gas , but I am planning on at least one more trip to KC this year. I really, really, really like outdoor baseball, and I prove it by going to those stadiums compared to the Metrodome.
