IIFID said: Yep hitting somebody with a changeup really means you're going after them.. So I guess if the Cards were playing a team of power hitters their pitchers don't throw inside?? Dude did you ever even play? If you got somebody who's diving in on you you pitch inside. A pitcher can't win only throwing to half the plate. Hell I learned that in CYC league..
Please... Save that nonsense for the people that don't have a clue, like 3/4 of the fans in KC that will defend this stupidity and embrace Cueto. For the rest of the baseball people in the world, this is bush league stuff.
And yes, I have been playing, coaching, umping and watching baseball for the better part of 45 years. I never claimed to be some all-knowing baseball guru but I know a collection of A-holes when I see them on the field and in the dugout. Not sure who will take the crown over there for the biggest A-hole but Cueto is going to have his work cut out for him if he wants to wrestle that title away from Yost or Volquez.
One trip to a World Series in 30 years and this group thinks they're God's gift to baseball. I can't wait until one of these brave pitchers plunks the wrong guy and either gets their arse kicked or better yet, gets someone like Cain or Hosmer drilled and put on the DL. It's a dangerous game this cork bunch is playing...

I must say he may want to get off the meds and go straight to Colorado. Jack Flash might do it:

I dunno about the end of the world but I do know Cueto is a piece of trash. He ended a mans baseball career kicking him in the head and then running away. FORK him.

IIFID said: "..biggest bunch of a-hole, bean-ballers in the league.." Uh you might want to check a few facts there Skippy as the Royals lead the AL in being HIT by pitch and are second overall to the Pirates in all of MLB. Glad you can make your decisions based on snippets from Sports Center..
When you are an asshole who no one likes, who like to beam other teams........they tend to bean you back. The royals lead the other AL teams, becauE they are busy plunking everyone they play. After 30 years of being in the AL cellar....the Royals are demanding respect. They forgot that chit get earned.......and being a one year wonder doesn't get them There.

I hope Queto gets curb stomped one night after A game. It will be fitting. I saw his cellmate........Brandon Phillips was at the center of the big Reds/Pirates blow up yesterday. Good to see some things never change

So if the Royals are so big and bad aholes throwing at everyone, why is it they've only hit 29 batters (5 more than the Cards have) which is way below the league average, yet been hit 57 times?
your numbers don't add up...seems to me they are effectively throwing inside...

Maybe the other teams have folks with faster reaction times. opcorn: Maybe no one respects the Royals.....I know I would throw at them.....just for 1985.

George Brett was all the reason I ever needed to hate the Royals.
Piss on them.

I read an article in the KC Star over the weekend where they mentioned you and the team figured after 20 years of retirement your hatred might be wavering....hence the reason for the Cueto trade - just in case you needed to renew your hatred.
