Player Notes
July 3, 2008
Joakim Soria was lights out again on Thursday night in Baltimore. The right-hander threw a perfect ninth inning recording two strikeouts in his 23rd save of the season.

Our View:It's hard to pick out a player that has not only surprised, but also performed better in the process. George Sherrill comes to mind, but he recently blew saves in consecutive appearances. Soria's ERA is at 1.22, his WHIP at .073, and only his 23 saves trump his 41 strike outs in 37 innings.

Joakim Soria pitched a perfect ninth inning on Monday night striking out two and registering his 22nd save in 23 tries.

Our View:Soria has been lights out in the first three months. His 1.25 ERA is complimented by his 0.75 WHIP, which is trumped by his 39 strikeouts in 36 innings.
June 19, 2008
Joakim Soria saved his third game in three days and the Kansas City Royals completed a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 4-1 victory on Thursday afternoon.

Our View:Soria threw three perfect innings in three days and bumped his save total from 15 to 18 on the season. In 32 innings of work this year the right-hander has allowed only 17 hits and five runs.
June 12, 2008
Joakim Soria returned from tightness in his rear end on Thursday to throw a scored ninth inning to pick up his 15th save of the year.

Our View:Well it's good to know that the new donut cushion he sits on in the bullpen is doing the trick. Seriously, the man has filthy stuff and there have been few relievers who have been more effective this year than this youngster.
June 12, 2008
Joakim Soria was not available to pitch on Tuesday or Wednesday due to tightness in his back side, according to the Kansas City Star.

Our View:Hopefully he can return to the diamond soon, as he has recorded 14 saves with a 0.93 WHIP over 28 innings, with 29 strikeouts.
