the only thing keeping this from being a perfect night is that Salvy even suited up

mocat · « **Reply #59326 on:** April 11, 2016, 10:04:12 PM »

give the bullpen a night off? check
Gordon gets a couple hits? check
Mo-dong? check
Salvy sits back with his feet up in the dugout all game?

Young with the sweet 7.45 ERA

It was bad, but he looked pretty good on Tuesday against the Mets. He'll do fine in games not in Houston or the Bronx. When we travel to Oakland or Anaheim, watch out American League!

idk about you guys but I'm not expecting medlen to fare any better.

Honestly if we even manage to pull 1 game out of that crap hole I will be happy. I'm just hoping for no one to get injured playing in what is clearly not a baseball field but a death trap.

he threw a lot of meatballs last year is what I'm saying

we all love morales, but a super easy way to keep gore up all year next year would be to sign (or promote) a dh that can also play fourth outfielder.

signing zobsie could have made it super easy this year.

We have plenty of outfielders. Morales is here to DH, then to play first base when Hos has a day off.

I think it's been discussed before, but Gore needs to learn to slide or else he won't be helping here or in AA. He enters the bag with such speed and violence, it's a wonder he hasn't snapped off his ankles.

He's been sliding a lot in his pro career without snapping his ankles off. I think he knows what he's doing.

I saw a few comments on twitter and facebook about Finn flirting with a no hitter yesterday. He eventual lost it and the Reds eventually lost the game.

There can't seriously be any Royals fan in existence that now things this was a bad trade? Right?

I use that trade as a litmus test.

Not unless Finn turns into a huge stud or something.

I don't understand your post. Judgement of the trade should be based on the outcome of the season/playoffs, like, why are you even bringing up finnegan?

The implication I got while Finn was in the midst of the no hitter is that this was a bad trade for the Royals because they didn't have Finn anymore.

And yes, the outcome is already there, its called a World Freakin' Series Title.

I'm fairly confident the Royals still would have won the World Series without Cueto. Not 100% confident, though, so it's really hard to say it was a bad trade.

I don't know who else does what he did in ALDS 5 and WS 2.

Also, every home Friday is golden guys!

Cueto had two of the best Royals post season performances of all time, Rage!

I am 100% confident that the Royals win the World Series after they traded Finn for Cueto. 100%.

We scored 7 runs in ALDS 5 and WS 2. All we needed to win either of those games was a starting pitcher to not go out there and implode.

Domino effect. Who is our other playoff starter without Cueto?

And those pitching performances were not only dominant, but they also saved the bullpen.

I don't know what happens without Cueto, but I will always believe him being here was a huge difference in winning the title and that trade was 100% worth it.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #59346 on:** April 12, 2016, 01:26:48 PM »

Yeah. Maybe Ventura doesn't turn his season around without Cueto on the roster, either. Like I said, I can't call it a bad trade. I just think the Royals were winning the WS, with or without him.

winning a WS is worth murdering your entire farm system to do so.
