Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session: July 25

The force is with this Luke as well

Royals pitcher Luke Hochevar has not lost since June 18 vs. Arizona, so hopefully we can just expect more of the same tonight against the Rangers.  “He just continues to keep us in ball games, if we can score him some runs, he keeps the ball down, uses his two and four seam fastballs well, and it should be a good outcome.  It just all comes down to him keeping the ball down and locating at a high level,” said manager Trey Hillman.

Meche and Farnsworth

Both Royals pitchers threw quality side sessions yesterday before the game.  Meche seemed to do fine, but it wasn’t as productive as hoped, while Farnsworth had a very good session throwing the ball.  There will be additional throwing sessions in the coming days and there is no timetable set for either’s return.
