Re: Royals bet thread

I am definitely going against what the "supposed experts" are saying about the Royals. I think I saw the o/u in Vegas (BOVADA) was 80 1/2 wins (BTW They had the Cards at 88 1/2). And I just read an article that the writer projected the Royals to finish fourth.. in the AL Central! That writer said the Royals would only win 78 games.
So come on Boys in Blue! I think I need to win one more year to even it up with Toe-moss in our Royals betting history...

I do not think Gio is an everyday MLB player. I'll be surprised if he is a starter on the Angels by year end. I would bet he doesn't hit over .265.
I do agree that OI might be the weakest link on the team but would still rather have him than Gio for the long run.

Umm Griffin said the Blues would NOT win the Central - I predicted they would. So I am a certified hockey prognosticator.
You got a man crush on Gio, Dabacus? It's really the only explanation. In the bigs he's a career .241 hitter with an OPS of .280 in 449 AB's. And he's a defensive liability.

Uh-oh!! This just in - Rios has a fractured left hand from that pitch yesterday and is going on the DL. I hope Dyson and Orlando can hold down the fort. It's a shame because Rios had started really well.
I think the Royals have had 12 batters hit in the first 7 games. Is this a trend at this point? Are other teams purposefully throwing at the Royals now to try to intimidate them?

The Battlin' Boys in Blue! I imagine we will have some serious suspensions. This could go on all season with the Pale Hose. These two teams REALLY dislike each other. I t went back to last year. The Royals announcers said that something happened (not sure what) in the top of the 7th that had both teams at the top rail screaming at each other. IMHO Ventura has acted like a punk. He better get his emotions in order. He is going to get his teammates hurt with this crap.

Seriously? How about the douchebags in Blue. Very quickly becoming the most hated team in baseball. That would be great if it were for winning only.

I think a lot a of folks are now looking to see an a-hole like him get clocked.

I do agree that KC needs to get Ventura under control. The team needs him on the mound; not sitting on the bench suspended. KC is really getting hammered in the press but I think that if they had taken care of business several series ago none of this junk would have happened. Can't just sit by while your hitters are being used for target practice.

Do I agree with Venturas antics.....nope. But the kid has got talent.
Not going to get into an Internet debate about how many times one team has been hit in comparison to others or that kind of thing....but, if pitcher X for St. Louis hit a player after a pitcher for the team they were playing hit Molena two innings prior and pitcher X got ejected but the opponent pitcher had not been ejected or even warned....then Matheny couldn't even get one step out of the dugout to question it without being tossed you St Louians would be madder than when Albert left you
They are winning....which is being overshadowed, possibly by design by the talking heads who said they wouldn't, so I guess we will just see what they can do in the next few weeks with a very limited roster as many of them will be watching from the penalty box.

Ventura is a punk. And you are correct, if my kids acted like that they would get an azz whoopin from me.
I didn't think I would say this but the team....especially the pitching staff.....is missing Shields, whether they know it or not. I don't think filling his rotation spot was an issue but, apparently, his leadership role is being missed.
You can call it Bush league....you can call them punks...they can be called a number of things - this is my take -
They are like the clumsy young kid with the zits who got picked on up through junior high school and had no self esteem. Then they hit puberty and turned into something different and people thought they could still treat them the same way....but the clumsy zit kid was turning into studdly duddly and pushed back and had self esteem.
With the addition of Rios, Volquez, Orlando and Moralez this team has much more talent than last year.
They will take their lumps along the way....but every team now will be out to push their buttons and once they figure out how to channel the energy in the right direction it will only make them stronger. Hell...even though it is early...they are leading the division with one of the best records in ALL of baseball....picking up right where they left off.
Listen to what Ozzie had to say about all of this. Surely one of the best to ever play in St. Louis has a respected opinion?

Three games in a row again with a Royals player being hit. Two of the three up around the head with Escobar in last night's game being the latest. It's hard not to think that the other teams are targeting them at this point. And now that the Royals have a reputation, anything they do in return will get players suspended.
Ventura was not sharp again. Other than Volquez, the Royals starting pitching has not thrown well. That is a concern going forward if it doesn't improve. The big, mean Tigers coming to town this weekend and are half a game ahead in the standings. Unfortunately Volquez misses his start tomorrow against them because of the suspension and that won't help. Hopefully Young throws tomorrow like he did last year in Seattle.

Re: Royals bet thread

Dabs aren't you somewhat concerned about our starting pitching?? I know that I am. Ventura and Duffy have been inconsistent and so far Vargas and Guthrie have not thrown well. Volquez has been the only starter who has been consistently good.
And I think we've already had more injuries than last year. If you throw in suspensions thry've had a lot of starters already miss games. I hope they are just getting that out of their system. I am not unhappy with a split with the Tigers considering how many players we were missing this weekend.

Re: Royals bet thread

After his performance Friday it would not surprise me to see Young used more.....how soon I think depends on the performance of Vargas and J Guts.
Ventura will settle down I think - not sure on Duffy.
Plan is for Finnegan to work into a starting role also - at sometime in the future. With them bringing him up because of the suspensions that could be sooner than later depending on what happens.
Splitting with Detroit and it being the first series all year they have not won....but still didn't lose...is not a bad thing especially considering the injuries and such...but you have to capitalize on the in-division series to be in the hunt at the end of the year.
Like I said - I think May tells the story of the rest of the year....right now they are 1-2 for the month....hope .666 ball doesn't turn into .333 ball but we will see in the next 25 days.
That is my take.....as a non-talking head.
A home sweep against Cleveland would help

Re: Royals bet thread

Young was very good last year. If he replaces someone it'll probably be Guthrie as Ned likes having two lefties in the rotation. Of course if Vargas continues to stink it up (we'll see tonight) it may force his hand.
I don't think Finnegan is ready to be an MLB starter but that's my take. Volquez has already served his suspension so he'll be back. I guess Ventura will miss two starts and that will hurt. As least we have replacements now that don't totally suck like a few years back.

When Vargas gave up the walk and the dinger in the first inning I was thinking "Oh Crap here we go again!" but he settled down, pitched very well and gave up only one more hit. I heard a debate on the radio regarding Guthrie this morning and how many more poor starts he'd get before they replace him with Young. Ned is notoriously loyal but they said from 2 to 4 more poor starts.

The fact the supposed #1 and #2 starters are both in the early 20's and therefore going to be inconsistent is an issue. Add in that your 4 and 5 have not pitched well and it it is troubling. The pickups Moore made in the off-season for the bullpen (especially Pino and Young) are saving the team right now. But if the starters don't start consistently giving them 6 innings every night the bullpen will be shot by the end of July.

Ouch!A bunch of moves had to be made today by the Royals. Of course right before the tigers series! They get Escobar back today but Moose goes on bereavement leave and will miss the whole series. Vargas finally throws a good game last week but is now put on the 15 day DL and Pino is brought back up. Sounds like Chris Young will pitch in his spot.
I remember them being very healthy last year - this year seems to be very different.

They best figure out what is wrong with Duffy and get it fixed ASAP.
I heard this morning that there is a distinct possibility that Vargas could be done for the year.
Moore better be looking at which starting pitchers are going to be available too pick up in a trade. Starting pitching is THE biggest weakness on this team.

Okay Tim, here is my post.
In the month of May back in 2014 the Royals went 12 and 17. I actually thought it was worse than that until I just went and looked.
This May so far the Royals are 10-7 with 11 games left in the month. Many of the games this month have been against quality opponents and they have some tough series coming up the rest of the month.
I said May will be the pivotal point of the season. Back to back strong pitching performances by pitchers other than Chris Young with shut outs last night and tonight look promising.
They are usually a second half season strong finisher. It should be fun to watch the season continue as their confidence builds....or at least evens out.

With Vogler on the bandwagon the Royals will not win the World Series. He has killed every potential Blues cup team in recent years. Said Tarasenko was an MVP candidate and he gets injured.

Ventura pitched the best game he has all year last night. He finally settled down and went 7 innings, blanked the Reds, with no walks.

It is early Mac....I am not sure if I am feeling "special" yet.
Did anyone else hear the Johnny Cueto rumors this morning? Apparently the Reds announcer made comment on their radio station prior to the first pitch last night that "HomeofToto" City would be a team that could benefit from Cueto more than the Reds.
Then in an interview after the game with Cueto he made comment that he once again did his job but the rest of the team didn't hold up to their end.
There is speculation he is looking to be traded, and, although next year he could bring huge salary, he could be picked up for a song and a dance for the remainder of this year.....something the Royals might just take advantage of and then let the highest bidder have him next year after he helps them out this year.

If they can stay healthy, keep the suspensions from happening and not let mental things get in the way they very well could stay strong all year....the last three or four years of history shows they are an after the all star break strong team....if history repeats itself it should be a deep run again.
The mindset isn't much beyond game to game....they look to win each series and then go on to the next.
Pitching could go South again but 3 of the last 4 were shutouts with teams that include the Yankees and the Cards.
Hochever, Herrara, Davis and Holland are all on at least 3 days rest...you got to like that moving forward the next couple games....if they get to finish the series with the typhoon coming in this evening.
They could get schooled tonight just the same...but I like the roll they are on.

The Royals need to adjust their pitching so the Yanks don't hit it out all day to the right field short porch. Otherwise we will see more of this.

Re: Royals bet thread

Yep Morales is doing exactly what we'd hope in a DH role. He can play first, but mostly we need his RBI production, and a few homers sprinkled in and there. His ability to bat and throw from either side is remarkable!
Dyson's speed is an asset Ned needs to deploy more often. "Speed do that," was a catalyst before, although earlier this year, we had enough bats hitting that stealing didn't make sense. Now, not so much...
I want to see the Royals apply maximum pressure to every club's pitcher and infield. Getting leads, turning a single into a double and putting the pressure on every inning, every pitch!
That is what a talented team like the Royals can do...

I say let 'em enjoy it. After being the AAAA farm club for the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc. for so many years, it's fun to watch them bask in their new found glory... Granted, their sort of embarrassing themselves (and MLB) with their inability to control themselves, with this All-Star balloting but that can only help the NL when it comes game time. How sweet the irony would be if the Royals made it back to a game 7 and were the visitors because their own fans couldn't control themselves at the keyboards...

I never said that Yost was a better manager. I think the Rat is one of the best ever. I was just noting the number of wins. However in regards to overall Royals records, Yost had some teams seriously lacking in talent and/or experience in his first few years. It is funny how both locally and nationally he has gone from being dumber than a bag of hammers to someone admired in two years or so. The local sports talk "experts" we're trying to get Yost run out of town about a year ago. "What have you done for me lately" works both ways.

Mister Tim
No problem here
Managers hired to be fired
Look at Joe Torre when he was managing the Cards and when he was managing the Spankees--
Ned ain't a bad manager-- had good teams in Milwaukee but La Russa kicked his butt just about every year and they got tired of being also rans-- they fired him
Look where the Brewers are now
and Ned even said that he could have been fired several times over the last 5 years
KC got some talent and Ned hasn't fried his pitching staff and y'all look to be on a roll

Today was tough to watch. No pitching, no hitting, just a drubbing by the Bosox. Glad to see 'em leave town!
13-2, mostly because of half a dozen bad pitches that got aired outtta the yard. Young was tagged for 7 runs, pretty much all long balls. He just did not have his control this outing...
Ahead 3 1/2 but this one hurt plenty!

They beat "King Felix" in his own house. A very well played game by the Royals. Blanton was on! He gave up a homerun in the first and then only one other hit and handed it off to HDH to finish it.
Keep Vargas and Duffy on the DL a little longer please!

Your point is moot. None of those teams (except possibly the Cubs) would do such a thing. Most fan bases don't have 30 year playoff droughts and fan bases that quadruple in size when the winning starts anew. Even the Cubs fans stay loyal through the losing. Personally, I think it is great for KC to have the Royals winning and the fans coming out in droves. But this internet voting thing is a bit of an embarrassment to KC. That being said, they're still getting my votes...

The fact that it counts is absolutely ludicrous. Dear Butt Selig - I know you owned a team AND were commissioner (and that wasn't a conflict of interest -wink wink) both but you can't have the All-Star Game work both ways.

So, what's the skinny on Gordon? Looks like he's going to miss some time... Is he out 2 weeks or 2 months or more?
Do the Royals become buyers at the trade deadline now? If they're good enough to get back to the WS, don't they deal some of that minor league depth now? If Gordon is down for an extended period, don't they have to?

Re: Royals bet thread

He had an MRI last night. All Royals fans are waiting on pins and needles to hear. Supposedly won't know anything until this afternoon. Word from the clubhouse last night was best case is at least a month. Sounds like it could be a season ending injury unfortunately. I'm really surprised about him because no one on the Royals (or maybe in MLB) is more fanatical about taking care of themself than Gordon. I think the news today will make the decision for them. Supposedly they were already looking into getting Justin Upton before this even happened..

Re: Royals bet thread

I think they already have the outfield replacement for Gordon on the roster. Orlando can help if given the chance with occasional backup from Dyson. That still leaves a question mark on Rios though in my opinion. They just have not found that right field position player in the last few years.
If Gordon is out for the year, which I think he will be - Ned updated at the end of his news conference last night saying they didn't want to speculate but new reports indicated he could be out for months - if Orlando fills it for the rest of the year it could develop him into that outfielder they are looking for and him move to right next year to complete the trio.
Silver lining in the cloud. This will also nock down Gordon's marketability going into a contract year as teams will be hesitant about the recovery I bet. That coupled with the opportunity to play with his brother who is working his way through the system well could just keep him in "HomeofToto" City for a few more years. .??

A little while ago it was released that he has a grade 2 strain and is expected to miss two months at a minimum. Bad news for the Royals. I'd hope that they are now serious buyers before the trade deadline as I don't have the faith you do Dabacus in either Orlando or Dyson as a replacement.

A good start after the All-Star break. 19 games over .500 going into tonight's second game.
75 games left - how many do you think they'll win? I am guessing they go 41 - 34 from here out giving them an overall record of 94 - 68. That should be good enough to win the Central.

I didn't take the picture, but I did enjoy the view with every jump and cheat for the Royals. A fowl ball literally smashed the seat beside behind me as I was looking at the peanuts being thrown in my direction. Modin says he heard it wiz by and he was beside me. I think it burnt my sideburns as it went by. It was close and fast.......off a Pirates bat. I knew I didn't like them for a reason. Suckers were trying to take me out. The dude who was sitting in that seat left for a beer. It was a screamer that would have broke some chit had it hit him in the chest. I guess beer saved his life

I had thought Vargas was done the first time he went on the DL when they started talking about the elbow area (flexor muscle strain). Did help the Cards gain some more room in the division. Sure would be nice to win tonight and get to 22 games over .500. Rarified air up there for the Royals.

Swing the pine? Doesn't your team play in some abortion of a league that doesn't even let pitchers swing and the teams pay huge money so some old crippled bastard can sit on the bench all game long and run his yap in between walks to the plate?

Kinda like Lee used to say about the NL Central a few years back......if the Royals actually played in a tougher division, they wouldn't even be relevant. Outside of the Royals, the entire AL Central is full of bad teams. Outside of the AL Central, the only worse division is the NL East.

You won't get any respect for the East side assholes either. I'm sure that bandwagon is mighty full with this new found success. If the Cards don't make the WS, so be it. 3 million people will still pile into the stadium next year, and it will be the 12th time in 16 years they made the playoffs.....with 4 trips to the WS.

Dog should be happy. Albert made an error that lead to two unearned runs and then grounded out weakly with the bases loaded and two outs in the next inning. I believe he is "ofer" the series at this point..

Magic number for the Royals might be a bit premature..... granted it would take a massive turn of events but there have been some dramatic collapses in the past by front runners
AL CENTRAL TOP 3
Royals 71-46
Twins 59-58
Tigers 56-61
However, the Cards can't afford to think of 'magic' numbers
NL CENTRAL Top 3
Cardinals 75-42
Pirates 69-46
Cubs 67-49

if The Pirates or the Cubs were in the AL Central neither would the Royals

When you play a majority of your games against the AL Central......with the second place team only one game above .500.........you should be talking about magic numbers. Isn't that the trash talking Lee made about the Redbirds when they won the WS several years ago??????
KC is killing the AL Central and the bottom feeders in both leagues.
Against the Yankees.........losing record
Against the Blue Jays.......losing record
Have yet to play Baltimore
Against the Astros..........losing record
Against the Rangers.........losing record
Against the Cardinals.......losing record
KC has killed the Angels and took 2 out of 3 from Pittsburg.
When playing playoff teams, the Royals have a losing record. Just food for thought.

Re: Royals bet thread

I sure can't take issue with what H2Odog said about the Royals struggling to beat the teams he listed. True dat.
Dog you have identified the real challenge the Royals have yet to overcome this year.
If you watched those games, most of the problems were our starting pitching getting clobbered early.
Since then, we have seen an improvement in their starts, and adding Cueto helps. I see a lot of coaching going on between Ventura and Volquez, Cueto and Perez. Ventura has the stuff to be an ace, once he grows up some.
Adding Ben Zobrist is a boost to the roster. Last night his homer in the ninth kept us in the game, plus he plays defense well.
We'll see how all this turns out before long....
Go Royals!!

I agree Tim that Zobrist is a big deal. K. Morales has been a surprise and a model DH.
As for Gordo heading to greener pastures, that would absolutely "gut" a stadium full of Midwestern fans. But not sayin' he couldn't or won't. When is his contract up?
Cueto won't last long. He'll help the Royals take the Series and he'll be down the road.
So I am sayin' the Royals are 50:50 odds to return to the WS.

I believe Gordon is a FA after this year. He'll be 32 in February. I don't see the Royals spending the big bucks to keep him and players don't usually give the hometown discount any more. I hope I'm wrong.

Food for thought.....
.....I firmly believe you can find statistical data to back up just about whatever you want to prove...all you have to do is look.
People can talk about -
- Starting pitching for your team has an ERA that is XXXX, which is way worse than our team, which is ZZZZZZ.
- Oh, you play in the weakest league in the majors, if you had to compete with good teams your record would be terrible.
- You get an extra out every batting rotation because your recreation league doesn't even make the pitchers hit.
It got me to thinking - and here is the stat from this year I found interesting....for what it is worth.
The Royals were matched up against National League Central teams 19 games (if I counted correctly...very well could have made a mistake) so far this season - The record for the Royals against those teams is 13-6....or a winning percentage of .684. (You know....the big boy league)
While at the same time, the Cardinals were matched up against American League Central teams 20 games (if I counted correctly...very well could have made a mistake)so far this season - The record for the Cardinals against those teams is 11-9.....or a winning percentage of .55. (You know.....the AAA league)
My statistical review is done for the year - you can make them say whatever you want to...they are just numbers.

Re: Royals bet thread

Well we go dig even deeper into number if you want. In interleague play the Royals are 8-2 at home, but when they have to travel to unfriendly ground, they are 5-4 with one more game to play at Wrigley. The Cards have a losing record to 2 teams this season and neither one of them will be in the playoffs, unlike the Royals who are losing 7-8 season series matchup currently.
I realize you might be new to this whole playoff thing...........so having a pitching staff with ERA's in the 4's and one in the 5's...........and a losing record against teams who will make the playoffs isn't a good thing.
At the end of the day the only number that matters right now is 82......which means if the Royals played in the Big boy league as Dabs put it........they would be in second place.
...........and 1/2 game out of 3rd place.

doesn't take 3 minutes to see the Royals remaining schedule and it doesn't take 3 minutes to see Vegas has them at 4 to 1 to win the series.

Well the problem is that kiddieland ya'll call the AL Central has got your head the size of a beach ball.
Try a season with Cards, Pittsburgh and Chicago in your division and see where that would leave you.
Right now, kiddieland included, your 4 games back. 17 games away from where you sit now.
And don't get me started on that AL-NL record......Ya'll don't play real baseball anyway. Inter league is a complete forkin joke and shouldn't be played. Fork that DH and the donkey who sold it to you chumps. You gotta be blind as a mole to cheer a bunch of hackers who can't even throw a baseball never the less chase one down.

The Royals #1 has thrown like #2 lately. I have a feeling that he'll be better by the end of the month. Wouldn't at all be surprised if he got skipped a turn in the rotation. The Reds did that a couple of times earlier this year and be came back better. I'll bet you right now that he'll win a game in the post season.
On the other hand, Ventura has been lights out lately. He IS throwing like a #1 starter and has only given up two runs in his last three starts.

Somebody needs to kick Frank White back out!!
He was at his first game in years Tuesday night as one of the franchise four and is sitting behind the plate tonight. They lost Tuesday and looks like another loss coming tonight.
He got some bad voodoo!!

The royals have to play teams with winning records to get to the WS to enjoy that advantage. They aren't liking playing teams like that. That amazing 1 RBI by The 50-11 KC players voted in was impressive.

Been a rough patch lately for the Royals.
J. Queto = no help lately. Starting pitching getting beat up early and regularly. Bull pen has finally started to look mortal. Hitting is sporadic and sketchy. All in all the last 10 games have been hard to take.
Sooner or later it happens to every team in the majors. Always has, always will. Just hoping to see the boys work through this sooner than later!

Actually it doesn't
Cardinal fans concerned--yeah but it appears we play in the toughest division and do not have the luxury of going 3 for 7 in our last 10 and still have a 9 game lead--
first real slump of the year for the boys from St Louis and it comes at a time when there ain't a lot of slack
From what I read about the Royal fans wringing their hands about going 3 and 7 in their last 10 with a 9 game lead in their division--
I would hate to see what they would do if they played in the NL Central...
but then they would be behind the Pirates
(and the Cardinals as well)

It wasn't a cheap shot......just stating a simple fact about one of the most epic collapses in baseball history. The Royals failing to win the Central in 2015 would be worse than 2011. Cards win the Central....unlike Last Stand and Sportsman, I have faith.

Good to see the team getting a day off to recharge and back at home starting tomorrow.
Not the best in the last 12 games or so - but 3 games is the number to clinch the division. Still ahead of the Blue Jays for home field advantage...at this point. A home stretch might be what the doctor ordered to finish strong.
And...if they make it deep in the playoffs - the difference this year will be Kendrys Morales in place of Billy Butler....the best pick up in the majors in my opinion this off season.

I understand how it would be hard to comprehend....but when 6 or 7 of the other starters were already "exciting" we didn't need more "excitement"....just "production"
With the performance this year Morales has had compared to Billy Butler last year - Morales without a doubt is a great upgrade for "his 12 minutes"
If you add Zobrist......and, yes, Johnny C, who will be back in his Ace form for the playoffs, on the surface this should be a better team than took them to game 7 last year.
But then again - Minnesota, New York or Pittsburg or the Cubs for that matter, might come in as a wild-card and have a hot streak and win it all - you just never know about October baseball

Actually there is not that much difference and what difference might be related to the fact that AL doesn't have their pitchers bat like real baseball players
Cardinals score 3.99 runs per game (recently dropped below 4)
Royals score 4.52 runs per game
Cards have a run differential of 114
Royals have a run differential of 80
Cardinals ERA is 2.90 (recently went up)
Royals ERA is 3.75 (don't know what it was before you picked up Cueto)
Direct comparison Cardinals have won 4 of the 6 games with the Royals this year-- most of the games have been close
Only real difference is the Cardinals are in a league that plays baseball as it was meant to be played ......
and they are in a more competitive divisional race (see the NL Central 3rd place team's record)
So before we get the old if your aunt had balls-she would be your uncle (I'm wondering how you know about anyone's relatives 'plumbing')..it doesn't take away from the Royals on the verge of winning their division but it does point out how the Cardinals have had to play to have the best record in baseball.

Brandon Moss is batting .265 in September, and only 4 HR's since he has been to STL.....which I realize isn't a whole lot.........considering batters are batting like .785 against Queto in his last 6 starts. Granted he finally pitched past 6 innings and didn't get the win in his last start, while not getting knocked around for 10+ hits, 3-4 Dingers, and a fist full of rbi's. Good for him. I just figured since the Queto pick up was the final puzzle piece that would bring a championship to KC, while looking like Kyle Loshe the last few weeks.......one might have concerns.
Cardinals are paying Moss $2.379 Million for the remainder of the season.
Royals have to pay Queto $3.88 Million for the remainder of the season.
Moss has won 3 games with his bat for STL. Queto has gone 2-6 in 10 games started.....and KC lost the other 2 games he started.....so that would be 2-8 in Queto's games he has started for KC. I'll let you smart West side boys do the math on wins/losses and the salary being paid.
It could be worse. You could be paying someone $7.5 million a year to play second base and bat .220 with 2 HR's on the season......oh wait...you already are.

That "old guy" just had three homers and a triple the other night. And, yes, we have hit a losing streak lately but we will make the playoffs and win our division. I think Cueto and Perez are on the same page now as to how the game is called by Sal. We'll see. Sorry to have been gone so long.

I could counter with a slam comparison to a St. Louis player with lots of numbers and stats.....but my give a damn just doesn't give a damn about smoke and mirror responses.
Johnny Gomes was picked up as a situational player plane and simple as that....and his popularity as a dugout leader.
He was brought in for his success in situational hitting....his numbers are much better against pitchers that throw left.....or maybe it is right...handed. I will let you search that one out.
He will be a tool to bring off the bench as a pinch hitter in certain situations....should they make it to the playoffs.

I know there is a lot of back and forth that goes on her Wu but to be real honest....I don't know that I have a "would rather" team.
The Royals proved last year you can ride momentum and get places from the bottom in the play in game. I think any team could be a tough match up....or could be a sweep.
I guess from a baseball standpoint it would be fun to play the Yanks....would be good for the team.
The Blue Jays scare me.....but I guess there should be no worry in step #2 before you take step #1 without falling on your face.
Good luck to the home team....and the cross state team. Maybe it will happen again this year.

It would be cool to have it be a Missouri Series again.
I was lucky enough to be at the game last night. A great atmosphere and when they were posting the Tribe vs Twins score everyone knew it was the night to clinch. The crowd in the ninth was as loud as about anywhere I've been.
Dabs is spot on in that any team can catch fire at the right time and ride a wave through the playoffs. The Blue Jays concern me more than any team as well. The Royals don't generally fare well in "slugfest" games and it's likely you'll see that type with their lineup.

KC and Toronto tied for best record in AL now. The only thing I don't like is playing them in that little band box stadium up there. I'd like to see them playing Texas or Houston first. Course if KC's pitching or hitting doesn't come around it won't really matter.
I'm bringing Don Dinkinger out of retirement for StL's first game just for grins.

Since you are bringing folks out of retirement.......you might call George Brett & Saberhagen. From what I've seen, you need more help that a bad umpire. Hell.........dig up Dan Quisenberry. His arm might help you more than some of the folks yall have in the bullpen.

I love it when a plan comes together.
Take your meds and have some down time. Your division has three good teams in it. Hopefully, KC will get together with one of them in the playoffs. Nothing is guaranteed in a short series. Players get hurt, pitching falters, etc., etc.

I'll be happy to ship Rosenthal your direction. Have never been a big fan. Even with the blow up the last couple games his ERA in the BIG BOY League would still be 1/2 the ERA the Royals current closer has.
As far as Matheny is concerned, I'll let him do his thing. 4th year as a manager....4th year in the playoffs. 1st year, one game away from the WS. 2nd season 97 wins and a trip to the WS. Last year, another trip to the NLCS.......on the verge of his 3rd straight NL Central title, with the best record in baseball.........Nah, I won't second guess him. 3 Central titles would equal what the Royals have done in 31 years. The last time the Royals won 3 straight was the 70's and you ran off the Manager that did. AND we THANK YOU for doing so. Your loss is a fan favorite in STL.

Well....the Boys in Blue have finished strong this week and with the help of the Rays last night getting the walk-off against the Jays home field throughout is in the Royals hands today....a win and they have ALCS home field....a loss by the Jays today would give Royals the home field regardless of what the Royals do today.

The Royals #1 has thrown like #2 lately. I have a feeling that he'll be better by the end of the month. Wouldn't at all be surprised if he got skipped a turn in the rotation. The Reds did that a couple of times earlier this year and be came back better. I'll bet you right now that he'll win a game in the post season.

Maybe you didn't read the post either. You and LS have the same problem. Queto didn't win the game. He was in his normal ACE Royals pitching form though. Yall needed that one. Facing a guy in Houston that is 15-0 at home down 2-0 is something yall could afford to do. Good thing their bullpen pulled a Queto for yall.
I'd pitch to Rasmus some more also while yall are at it

What a day.
First off...win or lose....the Royals took the time to let the fans, the City and the world know they are part of their community and had the backs of KCFD in their time of mourning. Great tribute to Larry Leggio and John Mesh.
On to the game...great win in front of the home crowd...another chapter in the 2015 chapter closed with none other than Johnny Cueto doing most of the writing in that chapter
I hope the next chapter is a good read, but they best figure a way to stop the Jays from continuing with the bombs...the Jays can beat you 13-2, but I am not sure about 4-3.
Good luck Royals!

Cueto retired the last 19 batters he faced without a hit or walk. Have to go back to Don Larson's perfecto in 1956 to find the same statistic. I also hope Bautista gets one in the ribs for the unprofessional grandstanding he did in the Texas game. What a POS. Anyway, onward and hopefully upward for the Royals.

Yeah for all of the talk about the Royals and their "lack of class", it ain't even close to the Blue Jays. Bautista and Donaldson are both JO's of the highest caliber. The Royals and the BJ's already have a history from this season. It will be interesting to see if either club tries any head games to get an advantage.

Bitter, bitter. Over a bat flip. Dyson just couldn't admit he got beat.
The lack of class wasn't on the part of The Jays, but by the idiots in the grandstands dumping their $12.00 beers on the field.
But, what do I know? I just got home Wednesday from working at The Restore, turned on the game, and a fight broke out. Best 7th inning ever.

Those would be those 300 million dollar Dodgers. Money's not all things, is it?
We don't have a major league team in the desert, so after The Angels, I watch The Dodgers. Yep, they are loaded up with high priced players, and some of them need to go too.
Mattingly, just doesn't seem to control this team, for whatever reason, and it's just my humble opinion, that if a player is wound up at an ump, you shouldn't try to calm him down when the team's back is against the wall. You should let him go and get after it....
The Angels let Baylor and another guy go. That's just Rocktober Baseball.

They had some kind of poll on the squawk box today....I think it asked since the Cards are out of it if the cubs winning the World Series this year would guarantee the Blues to win the Stanley Cup this year would you want the cubs to win the WS.
I think it was like 11% voted yes.
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
They have a very good team. But no way are they some kind of Cinderella story after 8 years of top draft picks and the almighty himself now doing the managing. It's the Mets who are the Cinderella story, cub fans can go suck one.

Well, there's no animosity over here. I was hoping for the cards to go on playing. Just so the chance on another I-70 series might once again arise.
Oh, well, two ahead and still playing. Others sitting home.
Pretty impressive wins. Both of them.
Cards had too many injuries, too wore out getting their 100 wins. The Molina and Martinez injuries at the end of the year coupled with batting slumps from 3 regulars did them in big time.
They pretty much reminded me of the Blues. bwaaaaaaaaa

After the game on Saturday in his post game interview the Douche Bautista threw his second baseman under the bus claiming he could have caught it but was called off. Any one who has played knows that is the outfielders play. What an azzhat!
A funny thing as well is that after the Jays went up 3 - 0 on Saturday Bautista was flashing with his fingers "3 - 0" to the Royals fans in right field. OOPS Jose, maybe should wait until you win! Or maybe wait until you actually get a hit in the series! Douche is still an OFER for the ALCS...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't fret Miss B. These guys can find a way to cheer on a scumbag who kicked a guy in the head when he was on the ground, ended his baseball career, and then ran away as fast as he could.
I don't think Bautista could top that one.

First off I am not a Cueto fan. With that said, you Cards whiners seem to forget that the birds had their chance to get even with Cueto and his kicking during the brawl. Instead they chose to man dance with the Reds like a bunch of beardedclams. They could have drilled him in subsequent games against Cueto, but alas not the Cardinal way. Show up and play the game with no emotion and not much effort. Sleep through August and September and then get stomped by the Cubs.

And they dam well should have done that. More than once.
Still doesn't change a thing about Cueto. He did what he did and he is what he is.
As for us against the cubs, the bats did go silent but take your top 2 starters away from any team in the playoffs and see how they do. 5 game series and your two top guys are off the table.
I don't think the cubs had one serious injury to any player the entire year. As far as where we end up next year, who knows. As a Cards fan we get used to taking pot shots from the peanut gallery, it's to be expected these days.

Might be that it would be somewhat inconceivable that you are:
1.a cubs fan
2.a mets fan
additionally
3.we have met our quota of braves fans with Bubba and haven't made arrangements with him to share the spot
4.Somewhat about the same dealio with Miss Bud when it comes to Canadians and semi crazed part time Californians
I suppose you could end any guessing or suppositions by declaring you fan status but it really doesn't matter.
You learn early on that being a Cardinal fan....also means being called arrogant comes with the territory.

I've gotten about a dozen calls from landowners in the last two weeks telling me the haven't seen that many ducks on their playa lakes in years. Weeds are ass deep on a tall Indian. Playa lakes are full of water and 1-4" of water coming in the next couple days. I do really hate myself right now.
Oklahoma is looking decent. "HomeofToto" looks good. Tickets booked for Washington State, Florida, & still working on Idaho/Oregon plane tickets. Trip planned to see Mikey in Iowa and taking a trip to see Mongo in MN to do some hunting go there. Life is very good. I didn't realize they still let y'all duck hunt in MO. I guess they do let you draw daily and sign up online for chance to hunt......if you call that hunting.

Having access to 400,000 acres of land with water ready habitat and record rain fall helps too.
In dry years, you pay the farmer a few hundred bucks to turn on his well and flood the death ditch.........and then you have no worries. Lease. No lease. Own. Rent.....a man should always have water

Its Ironic everyone bitches and pisses and moans about the "Cardinal Way"........yes winning is a mother forker. I'm happy to see the Royals finally taking up the Cardinal Way.
The Cardinal Way.....lets see, draft good players, develop them to play YOUR style and get them to "buy into" the system. Keep, them and don't ship them off to another club after you developed them. Use that talent and keep your payroll low. Win games year in and out, with players no one knows, and go deep into the playoffs. Hustle in the field and give a great effort.....you know the very thing they teach you from Little League Baseball, but seems to get lost above the AA Level. I guess having high expectations of your players is frowned upon in other cities.
No one hates the Indians, or Marlins, or Mariners.....they suck People hate winners, and they hate the things they aren't. The Yankees are arrogant, rude, mouthy, and throw chit at the other teams. They boo their own players on a regular basis. It happens in all the major market teams. They throw chit at opposing teams. Philly, Dodgers, Chicago, and the list goes on. Spend tons of money, hope you spent it on the right players, and if you don't win.....go spend some more money. Ask the Dodgers is the money they spent has been a great investment. HUGE payrolls and they get bounced out of the LDS 4 of their last 7 trips to the playoffs, and the other three trips they got killed in the NLCS.
The Cardinal Way....putting a winning product on the field year in and out, and doing it through the farm system....which was started by Branch Rickey, in the Cardinal organization in the 20's....so really the Farm System everyone uses today IS THE CARDINAL WAY.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_postseason_droughts
20 Teams in baseball have gone 20 years without winning a championship. Considering all 4 teams left in the playoffs have gone 20+ years without a WS title 11 teams or 1/3 of all of baseball has gone 30+ years. A Royals loss this year would make it 12 teams........you figure it out.
Lots of teams would love to be in the Cardinals spots. Only the Yankees and the Braves have been more successful in the last 25-30 years, as far as playoff berths. The Yankees did it will outrageous payrolls. The Braves had a Top 3-5 Payroll on their epic runs. Cardinals highest Opening Day payroll was 2005......6th highest. Most years they are around 11-14.
The Royals have finally found out if you keep your young players you suffered years on the MLB to aquire through the draft, and you keep them instead of being a Farm club for the Yankees and any other playoff bound team, you can actually have a great team and put asses in the seats. Trading 5 great prospects for a couple Playoff Rentals like you did this year, wasn't the best move....especially considering how poor Cueto has been.

Re: Royals bet thread

When the Royals make the WS this year.......I suggest throwing Cueto out there in game one.
Maybe he can kick his way out of another blow out........or laugh about it walking off the field or sitting in the dugout. I guess when you have been beat as bad as he has the last, 2+ you gotta try to laugh at something, like all the money he's thrown away with every shitty outing.
If yall were smart, you would drop him from the WS roster and clear out his locker. Let him know you will mail whatever rings he has earned to the AAA club of his choice next spring.

Re: Royals bet thread

I understand all of you Cardinals fans being so Alegent to your team....they have historically been a good team.
With that being said, Bruce Jenner historically was an Olympic Decathlon winner....now he is just an old ugly biatch!
I also understand your hate for Cueto....for Royals fans he is what he is. Whether we would or not, management will March him out for another start in the World Series if the team makes it and he will either be spot on like he has been in 2 starts or stink it up like he has in about 9 starts....I guarantee you he will be on a short leash.
The Royals have lost arguably the best closer in the major leagues due to Tommy Johns in the last month...he actually partially tore it last post season and kept on pitching without much pain most of this year but was never himself. Gordon, a multiple time All-star and multiple time Gold Glove winner was out early recovering from a broken hand and then missed 7 weeks late in the year with a pulled groin and is just now maybe getting close to 100 percent.
Escabar was out for an extended time after the slide that took him out at second.
Infante....who I believe is the best defensive option at 2nd base has been out for month with a leg injury.
Salvy has missed multiple games from fowl balls to the noggin under the concussion policy.
Moore put together a team with depth and they always have had someone to step in and fill those rolls.
Zobrist was a huge pickup at the trade deadline and a gamble on Kendrys Morales to replace Billy Butler has proven to be a very smart move.
So, every team with few exceptions gets beat down at the end of the year...having the depth to fill those spots to take you to the next level is smart.
Houston and the Blue Jays are both good teams and the Royals have scored 47 runs in the last 44 innings of ball.
One thing you said is definately true Dog....it's easy to hate winners
The Royals might lose the next three and be done...but I think they win it in 6 at max.
And after watching the last 3 games of the NLCS I like the Royals chances of winning it all.
Lastly...just to keep it going, the Royals have won 101 games this year.

"Old money" will always snicker and laugh at "new money". The Cardinals will be contenders year after year just like they have been. It's a great system, and all of baseball would like to find a way to duplicate it. We'll see about this "new money" being thrown around this year.......if I'm a betting man, I'm not thrwoing any of my "old money" down on any of these organizations becoming a dynasty.
As for the Royals.....they have always been a classless organization....and they always will be. There is no team in major league baseball I hate more then those bastards.

Well, I am sure the Royals are now the odds on favorite to do just that.
Both series up 3-0. Sumbody wake me up if a meaningful game comes along.
Actually Royals have three wins and Blue Jays have one.

My hatred goes back to George Brett and Daryl Porter....and even Herzog....piss on him too. I've always thought the Rpyals were a 2nd or 3rd class organization.....and I still do.
The Walmark connection just solidified my disgust with the whole organization.
And I think the fans are fair-weather pretenders.

Only two organizations have had 2+ million fans come through the gates to watch a game in every full season since the 1981 strike.....the only years they didn't hit 2 million fans was the strike shortened seasons of 94-95. STL and the Dodgers. In STL 3+ million people have come through the gates in every season but one since 1998, and they had 2.91 million that year.
2.6 Million people watched the last place Cardinals in 1990
3+ Million watched them finish 3rd or 4th in 2007, 2008, 1998,1999,1989. The only place that many people watch bad baseball is in Chicago & Boston.

With that being said, Bruce Jenner historically was an Olympic Decathlon winner....now he is just an old ugly biatch!
The Royals have lost arguably the best closer in the major leagues due to Tommy Johns in the last month...he actually partially tore it last post season and kept on pitching without much pain most of this year but was never himself. Gordon, a multiple time All-star and multiple time Gold Glove winner was out early recovering from a broken hand and then missed 7 weeks late in the year with a pulled groin and is just now maybe getting close to 100 percent.
Escabar was out for an extended time after the slide that took him out at second.
Infante....who I believe is the best defensive option at 2nd base has been out for month with a leg injury.
Salvy has missed multiple games from fowl balls to the noggin under the concussion policy.
Moore put together a team with depth and they always have had someone to step in and fill those rolls.
So, every team with few exceptions gets beat down at the end of the year...having the depth to fill those spots to take you to the next level is smart.
Lastly...just to keep it going, the Royals have won 101 games this year.
What All-Star starting pitcher, who is in the Cy Young race yearly, did the Royals lose to start the season again?
Holliday, like Gordon a multi year All-Star, played a full month more games than Holliday. Gordon, unlike Holliday has never drove in more than 90 runs and has only hit 20 HR's in a season twice. Gordon's yearly batting average isn't as good as Holliday's production. Yall lost a player who wasn't as valuable at the plate, for a shorter period of time.
Salvy missed games for concussion protocols. Salvy and Molina have caught more games than any catcher in all of baseball the last 3 seasons. You are going to miss some games as a catcher. Molina went down the last 2+ weeks with a thumb injury....just had surgery on it.
Escobar played in 148 games. Had a 7 day DL from the slide. Infante still played in 124 games also. Jon Jay, the starting CF missed 2 1/2+ months on the DL He came back in September and was never 100%. His lost production would equal Escobar or Infante. Matt Adams played 70 games, and never got back to 100%. Hell he was so out of sync when he came back, he was left of the playoff roster. Matt Adams bat provides way more pop than Escobar or Infante.
Which starting pitcher with 14 wins, a 3.00 ERA and nearly 200 strikeouts did yall lose going into the post season?? Take Volquez or Ventura off your playoff roster and see how comfortable you are going into the playoffs.
Which ROY Candidate, who was beating the cover off the ball, did yall lose for a month down the stretch??
We could throw in Garcia who missed 1/2 the season and was a much needed arm, but that head case misses half the season in most years
The Royals didn't loose a Cy Young Candidate pitcher for the year, nor did they lose 3 opening day starting players for 1/2 the season. All teams get banged up throughout the course of a season. Lose 4 of the 9 players on your opening day roster for a majority of the season, and get back to me if you make the playoffs, let alone win the division.
Losing Holland is a big deal, but when you win playoff games. 7-2, 5-0, or 14-2.....its not like you need him to come in to close out the game.
Congrats on win #95 last night. A win today would be #95 also. I guess there is a Royals Way win it comes to counting.

Ive got no problem losing to the cubs. They won more games than the Royals.
Even down with our pitchers though, I do have a problem with some core guys who were never even close to ready yet Matheney pretended they were the entire time. For the most part, and I mean most, Matheney manages in the post season the exact same way he manages the regular season and yeah, that is horse chit. Not saying we actually lost with that style, but we won't ever know that's for dam sure.
We got some problems, we lost, we are O-U-T, no doubt about that.

Like I told Mel---bonehead plays and pitching breakdowns
With our rookies, we will be in the race next season
Mets Pitching has been good and we see the Cubs getting beat
Royals offense has negated any pitching let downs for the most part-- but your pitchers are throwing very well with the exception of Johnny Twinkle Toes
when you have a 5-0 shut out and a 14-2 game and the only close ones so far has been a 6-3 win and an 11-8 loss....you don't have to finesse anything
Mel texted that it was Toronto 8 Royals 1 in the 8th-- no reason for LS to wake up
Home to KC and only have to win 1--
I'd say the odds are in your favor and maybe LS will wake up to see the next game

Oh for chrissakes. The Redbirds win 100 games with a lineup held together with bailing wire, and New Money is standing back taking potshots from a cap pistol of a team that is ALWAYS one and done.
Look, when the forking Royals do something other than get in the playoffs once every 20 years, come back and woof....until then, enjoy the 50 bucks your daddy gave you to take Susie Rottencrotch out to dinner and have enough sense to shut the fork up.

Not deep enough.......we plugged more holes in the lineup than the Titanic had, and still had the BEST record in all of baseball. Had the Royals played in the Big Boy Division, yall wouldn't even made the playoffs. You are acting like the Royals lost 1/2 the team, from one hard slide and a couple foul balls of a mask....when dude led the league by 10 games in total games caught for the year. Take Hosmer out for 1/2 the season, leave Gordon out another month, sit Cain for 1/2 the year, and put Volquez on the bench all year. Then come playoff time, sit Ventura with an injury. Yall wouldn't have finished above .500 on the season, and they wheels on that bandwagon would have come right the fork off.
The Royals were so deep they had to piss away 3 Left Handed pitchers for a dude who gave up runs like he was getting paid for them. After all, who the hell needs the 17th overall pitcher in the draft, a 2nd round dude, and another lefty that throws in the upper 90's......no one like lefties who can throw 95+
2 More pitchers got traded for Zobrist, which included another great lefty, 34th overall pick. I guess the Royals are pitching rich in the minors. After all, their starting pitching ERA was over 4.00 on the year, so they gotta be real deep

Next year the Cards will be in the playoffs, for the 6th straight season. 4 trips in the past 12 seasons to the World Series. It was 29 long frustrating years between the Royals WS apperances. You act like its a regular thing for KC......I know, I know.....2 straight ALCS runs, and maybe 2 straight WS trips. New Money acts like its routine. Get back to me when you make the ALCS 4 straight trips.
Speaking of next years chances......... Your #1 starter
will be in free agency, your closer won't be pitching all year due to Tommy John Surgery, A starter won't be back from Tommy John either, Gordon is GONE, Rios will be released Zobrist might stay but don't bet the house on it.$72 million in commitments, and 7 players in Arbitration....which will put yall close to $100 million on payroll without two outfielders, short a reliever, & missing a couple starters minimum. $100 million payroll and 9 players short of a full team. $113 million dollar payroll on opening day this year. Mr. Wal-Mart won't be spending big money or much of that playoff money they just made on big contracts, so where does one get 9 good players for $13-20 million. Those owners aren't going much higher than $120 million for next year. You just traded your 2 best pitching prospects. Your best OF prospects were in Single A this season.
I guess we get to see how deep the Royals are and how creative they get with so many players gone from this year to the 2016 season.

Lmao....yes...the Cardinals are a better team the last two years because statistically over the last 20 years they have done better.
Last year - Royals made it to the World Series...and did not play the Cardinals
This year the Royals are up 3-2 with two games left at home to squeeze out one more win in the ALCS to go back to back World Series appearances - the Cardinals did not make it out of their Divisional series...with a payroll of 10 million plus dollars more than the Royals.
I am trying to agree with you in the fact the Cardinals are a good team...but "The Cardinal Way" fans can't let it be that they are not on top now.
Question....2 years from now would you rather the Cardinals be known as the 2015 World Series Champions...or the team that won their division with 100 win season and lost in NLDS series? That's what I thought.

Royals might be squeezing the bats a little tight Friday. A ton of pressure to not blow a 3-1 series lead. Can Ventura get the job done? Will Price finally find his post-season groove for the Jays? The dude is a top tier pitcher but has been struggling in the post seasons... Could be a little wet as well...
Should the Jays pull off a win, it appears the Royals will have to put all of their hope in Johnny Cueto, for Game 7. Not sure there is a person in all of KC that feels all warm and fuzzy about that...

Like them or don't like them either way you have to give props to the Blue Jays for a damn good series. There were games where they beat up on the Royals, games where the Royals beat up on them and games that were back and forth like last night. Goins was a vacuum all series for them at 2nd - Pillar was solid at center and Revere made one of the best catches of the year in left to take away an extra base hit/rbi from Perez last night. Bautista was seeing the ball last night, that is for sure.....but no you all can go back to Canada!!

And BTW you've done a good job of training Joe Buck as a hater as well. Listening to him the last two years rave about the Royals opponents, it's a wonder the Royals have won at all...
And here is a couple
Joe sniff, sniff, sniff Buck won't say how sniff, sniff, sniff great our team is every sniff, sniff, sniff inning. We're not happy sniff, sniff, sniff just to win and be going to the sniff, sniff, sniff World Series. We need everyone to tell us how great sniff, sniff, sniff we are. And if they even dare pay a sniff, sniff, sniff compliment to the opponent, well, sniff, sniff, sniff that just means they don't sniff, sniff, sniff like us even more...
Whiners gonna whine...
Hmmm.. I distinctly remember a lot of Cardinals fans with very similar complaints in the past about McCarver, Joe Buck, etc.. but of course because of it being the Cardinals then it obviously then isn't whining.. Got it!

The boys have every reason to gloat. I would too if it was The Jays. It was a good year for them. It's just not the only year, and they will be back next year. Pretty happy about that.
Mel, here's a book about baseball's long history up here.
Tim, you can't expect a history buff, to believe a kid in the stands who looks more like Abe Lincoln, than Abe Lincoln himself, can you?
That's real life, you can't make this up.

Lovers gonna love....haters gonna hate....and the tweeners will always be somewhere in between. What matters most is the World will be watching KC come Tuesday night with home field advantage.
Like them or don't like them either way you have to give props to the Blue Jays for a damn good series. There were games where they beat up on the Royals, games where the Royals beat up on them and games that were back and forth like last night. Goins was a vacuum all series for them at 2nd - Pillar was solid at center and Revere made one of the best catches of the year in left to take away an extra base hit/rbi from Perez last night. Bautista was seeing the ball last night, that is for sure.....but no you all can go back to Canada!!
Happy Saturday to all of you lovely Cafer's
Please Dabs. There was one good baseball game the rest were yawners. And the Jays tanked.
I think the Royals have a really good team. I like the fact they play good D, always have had a love for that aspect of the game and I like to see teams with Good D and speed do well. It's a shame they fork it all up with the DH.
But mainly I take nothing away from the Royals.
But I'll be rooting for the Mets.
Not easy to do, they are NY dwellers and usually that's all it takes. But the DH is a joke so I don't want to root for a team that uses it. Then Cueto sucks and fork him all the way to hell and lastly I did not need it for this but that home run call going your way was ridiculous. Just having a fan that forking dumb alone should have canceled that sucker.
So, basically, I hope the team that plays real baseball for 162 games wins.

Well then...if I was you I probably wouldn't go through the misery of watching the series then since an American League team is playing in and has a DH. Or just watch the games played in New York.....maybe you can spend the time that frees up reorganizing the boat building forum.

I am home. This is my Mom's house, and the banner goes out from the moment The Jays have a playoff berth. That would be the same time my Dad gets out his Back 2 Back Championship jacket.

I'm still chuckling about that call. Perfectly understandable for the initial call. However, it will go down as one of the world's great mysteries how they forked that call up so badly with access to replay.

I agree Tim that Zobrist is a big deal. K. Morales has been a surprise and a model DH.
As for Gordo heading to greener pastures, that would absolutely "gut" a stadium full of Midwestern fans. But not sayin' he couldn't or won't. When is his contract up?
Cueto won't last long. He'll help the Royals take the Series and he'll be down the road.
So I am sayin' the Royals are 50:50 odds to return to the WS."

Prepare to be gutted then. Gordon's contract has a player option for 2016. Why play in KC for $12.5 million when the open market will pay way more. KC will hope for the hometown discount, but those days are over. At $100 million without 2 outfielders and 7 more players, KC ownership will have to dig deep, which is something they have never done. Until KC puts a tons of asses in the seats, in a 3rd or 4th place year, they won't spend the money year in and out for no return.

It cracks me up reading all the chit on the interweb from the Royals fans about how rude, classless and annoying the Mets and Jays fans are..
This coming from a fanbase who booed Cano relentlessly at a friggin exhibition HR derby cause he didn't pick Bart Colon's white twin, William Butler, for the derby..
The same fanbase who was wanting manager Ned Yost fired as late as August last year, just prior to their post season run..
The same fanbase who hacked the all-star balloting this year and damn near had a guy batting .200 starting at 2B..
Same fanbase who has multiple petitions online trying to keep Joe Buck from covering the WS on tv cause they think he didn't "talk" about their team enough last year on tv.. boo hoo
Yup..
There ya go. I just wanted to get in on the bickerin and moanin, eastside vs westside chit and all...

Jealous of an organization that finally broke 2 million fans for the first time in 25 years. Hell a WS run last year didn't even get 2 million window lickers through the gates.

But just like the Royal pain the arse they ain't about to win the World Series this year of the next for that matter. Don't like any other baseball team other than the Cards. Been that way my entire like. KC has a decent team but just the little that I have read here I can see we have a handful of those misguided creatures that actually believe they have a change.

Playing like it was supposed to be played. Tight and talented.....except for the RF dude forgetting how many outs there were in an inning. Perhaps they should have read the book about the Cardinals Way. In the book the catcher, middle infielders, and Center Fielder all hold up their fingers after every out, reminding everyone how many outs there are. Just a thought.

You are right...Rios messed that up bad...no excuse for it.
But, the team picked him up, like they have done for each other all year long.

Yep, Rios was sporting a goat-face after that. He's done well this fall for the Royals, but I almost fell outta my chair when he pooched the play to home.
Turns out the Mets made their errors too, which pretty much cost them the game.
We got one more win to go. I know a few folks that bet on the Royals back in Feb. to win the WS. 35-1 odds looks like a nice pay out on $50!!

Congrats to 2015 The World Champion "HomeofToto" City Royals on finishing what they started but were unable to finish last year.
Congrats to Salvy on his MVP accomplishment and congrats to Ned Yost for being the winningest post season manager ever in the post season in all of Major League Baseball!!!

He has won A WS. ONE. I know y'all have some funny way of counting chit on the west side of the state........so I'd love to see how you spin this one. Winniest manager. That would be the person with the most wins or the manager with the most WS wins. Ned Yost is far from either.

Did anything in my post say he has won the most World Series? Did anything in my post say he has the most wins in the post season?
All you have to do is turn the television on and watch any sports channel. They have all been highlighting it. With managers who have at least 30 post season appearances, he has the highest winning percentage in the history of MLB - making him....in their words...the winningest post season manager of all time.
Once again, statistics can say anything you want them to.

I'm sure it would come as a shock to Joe Torre (84 post season wins) if that were so.....
Percentage or number of total wins--I think Joe would not give up those 4 WS rings to have the best percentage
BUT

Everyone think the newest winner is the biggest greatest, most bestest thing to ever win
Ned Yost has the best winning percentage. Not too hard to do when you've only been to 2 post seasons. It's like saying the Royals have the most AL World Series trips this decade

1 game wild card game. 5 game divisional series. 7 game championship series. 7 game World Series. It's possible to play 20 games in one year of you play in the WC game and were series goes the max. People who still support the Big 12-1-1-2+2 would be better off equipped to do the hard math though.

Re: Royals bet thread

Joe Buck was busy blowing the Royals bullpen, the Moose, and plenty of other things all Royals during the WS. Unlike most of the Royals fans who muted the games, I listened to him while painting or carving. He seemed to call it pretty much right down the middle being a Homer for both teams. You won't hear many Royals fan mention that....but hey, the article I've been reading the past couple days keep saying they are the new bestest Greatest fans of baseball, and how the Royals are now the team to model a franchise after. All 1.9 Million of them who showed up last year to watch a WS bound team and the new extra 700,000 who showed up this year to watch them......I get the people who are happy, but until the franchise shows up in the playoffs for the next 5-6 years and keeps close to 3 million people in the seats, don't piss down my neck and tell me its raining. No matter who won, they would be the next best thing.
Hell, there was a discussion on MLB contemplating if the Royals are the new Baseball dynasty. A dynasty!!!!!!! BWahahahhahahhahahhahhahahahahahahhahaaaaahhahaaaaaaa You can't make this chit up.

Well from the time I spent watching, the most ridiculous comment Buck made umpteen times was Hosmers "outstanding" run play when breaking in from 3rd to home on the grounder.
All the while, an average throw from Duda would have had him nailed by 10 feet.

Never mind the double pump before throwing a lob to first base by David Wright. Look the dude back and throw a bullet to first. Then Hosmer is out by 20' with a good throw. Duda made a horrible throw. I guess playing a Dynasty team will cause a man to have errors.
The mets catcher was absolutely horrible. How is that guys a MLB catcher. He couldn't throw out a sumo wrestler stealing second. Billy Butler could have stole second every time he reached base, if he was still with the dynasty Royals.

I really like defense in baseball. Good defense. Royals had it in spades and the Mets.......wooo, they stunk. Slightest bit a pressure and they folded like a cheap suit.
We won '06 on the Tigers sh1tty D. It's every bit as much of the game as a home run.
Cueto has good defense. He uses his spikes very well. Right across a guys face. While he's laying on the ground. He has speed too. He runs very fast when he has to.

How different people in the Midwest are compared to other parts of the country. An estimated 800,000 people showed up for the World Series parade and rally in KC yesterday. No cars were burnt, no riots started, nobody was shot, no one was stabbed, and there wasn't any looting. As of last evening KCPD reported that a total of THREE arrests had been made. People who went said folks were having a good time and just got along. I do not like crowds and wouldn't have been caught dead down there but heard from numerous people who went.
Now think back to when sporting events have been won in the recent past in LA, NY, etc... I am glad to live in the Heartland.

Dude....it was a school night.....and like 90 something degrees, and probably muggy......and narrowing in on a playoff run. The Best Fans in baseball did what they could do. 13K is a lot of people for a dynasty.
The second Best Fans in Baseball would have had 40k+ plus but that's because its safer to be in the Busch Stadium than on the streets of the Lou.

August 20th Wednesday School and work night. Temp in the 90's. Average humidity 73% for the day. Game in STL. 43,000+ showed up to watch STL beat up on a crappy Reds team. No one had to complain about 13k people showing up on a hot humid school and work night. I guess someone had to fire up the Best Bandwagon Fans in Baseball.

You know, I seem to remember when Pujols was supposedly the greatest thing since sliced bread. When anyone dared to say anything bad about him Dog and others jumped in the middle of them with all the stats, BA, and the like trying to beat them down. THEN, when he left to go west for more money he suddenly became a POS. Talk about bandwagon jumpers and "new money" all you want. What it really is is that you can't stand to see anyone else do well.
Last 30 years, StL has been in the series 7 time and won 3. Royals have been there 3 times and won 2. I was pulling for both teams to do well but I guess all that StL koolade leaves no room for anyone else. Put that stat percentage in your pipe and smoke it.

Pujols was dog piled on for being a hypocrite. He said he didn't care about money and only cared about championships and rings mang. In the end, he left for money. You can't say one thing year after year after year, after year....and then suddenly do the opposite and take the money. STL fans don't like or need players like that. Had Pujols simply said he will go where he is paid the most money, then he wouldn't have taken a beatdown.
I guess your stat counting only proves KC folks aren't real good with stats. STL has only been in the WS 6 times in the last 30 years, with 2 wins. The exact number of wins as KC. The only difference between old money and new money, 50% of our seasons in the last 30 years have been playoff seasons. 12 trips were to the NLCS. Old money has averaged about 3 million fans a year during that 30 year span. New money has averaged about 1.6 million a year.
2 good years in a 30 year span. No wonder the Dynasty talk is being brought up.

Other than the dh, I don't have a problem with the Royals at all. Rooted for them to get there.
I think the team itself played dang near perfect just about every aspect. A very good team.
You win, expect to get hated on. Maybe you are the exception Mel, but fill me in on all the other Cardinal fans from the west side.
Anyway I don't hear much hate goin on 'cept for mine with the dh, the "new" money team ya'll got there, the bandwagon fans and of course, your All Star mid season pick up.

You think these people that play these games care about how you feel? They show up to games hungover, drunk, high, etc and they don't think twice about how YOU are going to feel if they don't perform on that given day. They're getting paid, that's all they care about. Yeah, the game is fun to them, as it should be, but they don't give a chit about anyone, especially a bunch of middle aged, grown forkin men..

Speaking of next years chances......... Your #1 starter
$72 million in commitments, and 7 players in Arbitration....which will put yall close to $100 million on payroll without two outfielders, short a reliever, & missing a couple starters minimum. $100 million payroll and 9 players short of a full team. $113 million dollar payroll on opening day this year. Mr. Wal-Mart won't be spending big money or much of that playoff money they just made on big contracts, so where does one get 9 good players for $13-20 million. Those owners aren't going much higher than $120 million for next year. You just traded your 2 best pitching prospects. Your best OF prospects were in Single A this season.
I guess we get to see how deep the Royals are and how creative they get with so many players gone from this year to the 2016 season.
I guess "new money" didn't want to spend any of that new money from their WS win, the extra million fans, and promotional hats/shirts/etc. to keep Zobrist around. Seemed they loved his wife and family as well. Cueto is gone, and who would want him back? Holland is gone for the year and who knows what his contract is going to be now. Rios released. I think Gordon is gone also. Reloading for 2016 and a title run is starting to look like Harry from Dumb and Dumber asking if he had a chance with Mary.

Re: Royals bet thread

So Dog you'd give someone who is going to be 35 years old a $56 million, 4 year contract? I wouldn't give Gordon the contract he is looking for either considering his age (32 in February). Rumor has it that his agent is talking 5 years at $20 million per. Not throwing long term contracts at older players is financially prudent.. you know like the Cardinals?
The Royals re-signed Soria as another set up guy for Davis so bullpen should be fine.They have the core of Hosmer, Perez, Cain, Escobar and Moustakas coming back which means alot. They have some kids at Omaha who could step up but they do need to find a second baseman and at least one outfielder in free agency. Glass proved the last two years that he'd open up his wal-mart wallet for the right player. I have faith in the GM Moore that he'll find some more help.

I'm not saying to give him the money...I was simply saying what I said earlier in the postseason. Cueto gone. Closer & starter out with Tommy John. Rios released. Zobrist skipped town. Pitching was suspect. Having 5 players that are back still leaves big holes to fill. Just pointing out how hard it is to get into the playoffs year in and year out, unless you spend some money and develop players. Curious if New Money can get it done. I don't think yall make the playoffs 3 years in a row.

Re: Royals bet thread

The closer was going to be Davis anyhow - Holland was getting replaced even before the surgery. The bullpen will be just as strong, if not stronger. I think the Royals aren't done yet in signing players. I fully expect them to sign another player (or two) to fill in as an everyday player that fits the profile of strong defense, can run and puts the ball in play. I do think they will also sign another #3 or #4 type starter like they did with Chris Young last year.
Get back to me in February when the lineup is more closer to being set and maybe we can make a wager whether or not the Royals make the playoffs.
The Cards got as few holes to fill now too with Lynn going down and Heyward going to the baby bears.
