The Royals

[mocat]

The point is not that HRs are detrimental to playoffs, the point is that HRs are very far down the list of important things in getting to the playoffs/World Series.

Their OPS+ was 4th best in the league. It's not about hr's specifically. blast said he wanted to see more consistency against better competition. blanton is what, 0-7 this year or whatever..

Yes, I would like to see more consistent production as well, of course. I am merely saying that obtuse statements like we need more hrs don't necessarily address the problem. I'm all for more hrs. I'm also more for just get on base baby

hey guys, how about we just do both? that would be great, right? because bottom line is that we're all royals fans and i think we can agree on that.

Having Houston in the AL is still weird to me.

So the royals scored 11 runs last night and ned decides to screw with the order and bench dyson for frenchy tonight. I don't even understand what goes through his dumbass head.

To be fair, Frenchy is the starter. I'm all for Dyson playing CF every night, with Cain in RF but calling this a benching is inaccurate.

Frenchy does OK against Lefties. Only thing i got here.
