Is the new reality that we've been playing with a team of guys who've just hugely overachieved the past couple years?
Maybe most of the team, including pitching, has played above their career averages?

Which players over achieved last year?

do you mean which one didn't? b/c that's a shorter list.

wetwillie · « **Reply #61452 on:** May 12, 2016, 09:29:58 PM »

Yea which ones didn't

pissclams · « **Reply #61453 on:** May 12, 2016, 09:32:54 PM »

not sure if any played worse.

Escobar underachieved last year to his averages.

Well if this ship is going to turn around, we are going to have to sweep the Braves.

i mean, they all played out of their asses the past two years except escobar?
maybe the royal way was much more of a royal FLUKE.

Gordo was dead on his averages.

wetwillie · « **Reply #61458 on:** May 12, 2016, 09:45:54 PM »

Omar was significantly under his averages. Rios played to his averages. Salvy slightly under average.

Moose Hoz and Cain are kicking ass again this year though. I guess morales,rubber arm, and volky are the secret sauce to WS success

i think that we had a disproportionate amount of the team play above their career averages last season and anyone expecting them to continue to do so has been drinking the happy juice and is thinking at a level 7 brown

sorry if calling it the royal fluke hurts your feelings but the sooner you accept the fact that this team sucks balls and the skin that holds the balls, the better off you will be

Expectations are a bitch. Going to be a fun summer, just wait boys.

wetwillie · « **Reply #61464 on:** May 12, 2016, 10:33:28 PM »

I agree we suck, but was serious in that morales, volky, and Chris Young were the difference makers. I guess we were getting a bit more out of rios bat than dyson too. The line between really good and sucking is pretty thin.

First 6 series....
Runs per game, KC 4.00 Opp 3.17

Last 5 series...
Runs per game, KC 3.13 Opp 5.25

pissclams · « **Reply #61466 on:** May 12, 2016, 10:45:03 PM »

all these guys were difference makers
moose
morales
volquez
cain
zobs
e-hozy
rubber arm

just because some of them are still doing well doesn't mean they didn't make a difference between 2014/15 and previous years

I've always thought that's kind of a weird tradition.

I'm still excited to be going on Saturday.

Hearing some completely unsubstantiated rumors that there is a rift in the clubhouse that has to do with Cain sleeping with someone else's wife.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #61471 on:** May 13, 2016, 10:33:40 AM »

Wow! Ms. Wacky told me, one of her friends knows Kacie Mcdonnell and that she's secretly planning on taking a job in Chicago soon. Maybe that's why Hos is crushing his way to our hearts? The rumors are out there folks!
