The Royals

[wetwillie]

Ned is such an idiot for pulling duffy,  he was good for at least another out.

[Powercat Posse]

Moylan vs Righty.....take it every day

Just wish Ned would have had quicker hook on Friday.

[bones129]

Cleveland lost. Time to rally and pick up a game.

[Powercat Posse]

Wild pitch in 2nd inning now been changed to a passed ball. So 4 unearned runs.  2 passed balls today

Yeah...I miss Salvy. Big time

[wetwillie]

Melk Man!

[sys]

losing this game by a run would be pretty frustrating, so hopefully one of these teams scores a couple more.

[sys]

they have dyson and we have to bunt, like idiots.   

[The Big Train]

Didn't get to watch the first one but I'm ready for a better game

[kso_FAN]

I'm shocked by how many fans didn't stay for game 2. It's 74 out. Ridiculous.

Yeah, I at least thought more of them would have stayed for part of the 2nd game if not the whole game.

It is perfect baseball weather out.

Gordon :
First 35 games- .264 OBP
Next 24 games- .376 OBP
Last 40 games- .266 OBP

Gordo' s Defense is truly valuable but 2 long stretches having an OBP well below 300 is unacceptable
Those 2 stretches make up 75 games, a .265 OBP and a .266 Slug

[wetwillie]

glad we bounced back, getting only one of four from Seattle would have been devastating.  I would like very much to humiliate the cardinals this week.

[Powercat Posse]

Very glad to see the 3 games in Baltimore were just a "hiccup" with not hitting the ball. 3rd time this series with 6+ runs

I work with a big cards fan so I hope this as well

it is obvious to everyone that breaking the season down into 11-game pods is helpful in evaluating this year's royals. let's take a look and see how they've fared so far:

pod 1 1-11: 5-6 L
pod 2 12-22: 2-9 L
pod 3 23-33: 5-6 L
pod 4 34-44: 6-5 W
pod 5 45-55: 6-5 W
pod 6 56-66: 8-3 W
pod 7 67-77: 6-5 W
pod 8 78-88: 6-5 W
pod 9 89-99: 8-3 W
pod 10 100-110: 5-6 L

after a rough start losing the first three pods, ned stark's squad has rallied to take 6 straight. but the run has finally come to an end after taking the L in the most recent pod. we'll check in after the conclusion of 11-game pod #11. game #111 is tonight. go cats.

162 doesn't divide by 11 very well, autard.

Try 9 or 18 for your autarded analysis.

Which makes it all the more strange that everyone uses these 11 game pods

[mocat]

with 52 games remaining this year, the 2017 Royals have already hit more home runs than they did in 34 of the 48 years that the Royals have existed on planet earth.

What's the correlation of sys posts to homeruns?

[Cartierfor3]

I am concerned about this team winning without Salvador Perez. Just seems unlikely long term.

[Cartierfor3]

Maybe I'm misremembering, but it seems like Butera's arm is weaker this season. And about as accurate as an Alex Smith deep pass.

[Powercat Posse]

Since April 25, almost 3.5 months ago, Moss has an OPS of .772
Melky has a .779 OPS for the season.

In the last 7 weeks, Boni has a .353 OBP & .447 Slug
