Hosmer spends too much time partying is what I hear

Hos needs the George Brett mindset fix again.

I would be fine if Hosmer walked or struck out looking every time he made a plate appearance

He had a couple "tough luck" outs today. Hit the ball hard. But I reserve most of my hate these days for Billy.

Only 3.5 games back with our awesome stretch coming up. Who might the Tigers be playing, you ask? Well 2 of the 3 series they have before facing us are against the A's and Dodgers.

Tigers have the Rays sandwiched between the A's and Dodgers, so that may be a bit of relief for them. In any event, these next two weeks before the AS Break, with KC playing weaker teams before the Tigers, and Detroit playing strong teams (with one exception) before KC may prove in October to have been the most important two week period of the season.

I'm a guy that thinks home runs are overrated, but when you're a DH and have only one more home run than Jarrod Dyson, then something needs to change.

I was at the game too. Had my two kids with me who were hot and cranky after the 2nd inning but I forced them to stay until the very end. Also got the cool KC Wildcats hat.

Also went, took the kid and his GreatGpa...long hot day. Kstate hats for all.
Royals win, kids fun run after the game!

Heard an insidery story that butler Gordon and hosmer go out together a lot and gords and hos rip on butler the whole time about everything and it's very funny to see

Story doesn't check out at all. Alex Gordon doesn't go out, and is very nice. Check your F- source.

Criticism of Billy is fair and warranted, but at least he's produced in the past to earn his spot in the lineup. Hosmer is one of 2 golden boys that get special treatment above the team, and its a joke.

Billy's June: .330/.392/.451 <--- Needs more HR but that's pretty good.
Eric's June: .193/.233.294 <----Needs to jump in a river.

Billy's best months have ALWAYS been July and August, and he's playing well right now, so should we expect a good summer from him? Yes of course. But I bet you're still hung up on moronic talking points like "he clogs up the basepath".

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13285 on:** June 30, 2014, 09:43:31 AM »

And I still love Eric, I'm just mad at him sucking and mad at the organization for giving him a free suck for life pass

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #13286 on:** June 30, 2014, 09:44:35 AM »

Maybe they should let Hosmer spend a week or two in the minors.

I think so, but our lack of organizational depth makes this tough. I guess they'd play Billy at 1st and rotate DHs? For his plate suckage you really would lose a lot in the field without Eric at 1B

I bet Valencia would be just fine at 1st if they gave him a shot at it.

who is your favorite and least favorite non-Royals MLB players?

favorite: David Ortiz, most enormous stud in the MLB by a pretty wide margin
least favorite: Adam Lind, has a face that makes me want to throw up

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13290 on:** June 30, 2014, 09:56:55 AM »

Ortiz is kinda 'roidy

mocat · « **Reply #13291 on:** June 30, 2014, 09:58:17 AM »

i disagree, CF3

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #13292 on:** June 30, 2014, 09:59:28 AM »

Bryce Harper

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13293 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:02:04 AM »

Favorite: Carlos Beltran (duh), and Josh Hamilton. Also really enjoy watching RA Dickey (who doesn't love a knuckleball?

) and pretty much anyone on the Giants
Least Fav: AJ Pierzynski

Pete · « **Reply #13294 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:02:53 AM »

Do you guys ever get annoyed with the "expert" former royals players that come on the radio? I do. They are always saying stuff like "don't get excited about a game, it's a long season."

I hate that about baseball...I want to her excited about a game.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13295 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:04:40 AM »

Yeah Pete. Mike Boddicker is the worst with that crap.

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #13296 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:04:49 AM »

I highly dislike Mark Teixeira.

steve dave · « **Reply #13297 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:04:58 AM »

No I don't care about the base paths. I just would like our DH to be able to hit a home run every once in a while. I don't claim to follow baseball super closely like some of you but it seems to me that a DH should hit some home runs. And as most of you know, home runs are my all time favorite thing so they weigh heavily into my decisions on who to hate.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13299 on:** June 30, 2014, 10:44:11 AM »

33 Billy absolutely should be able to hit more HRs.
