The Royals

[kslim]

if omar doesnt gil meche his money after clearing waivers he is a real jerk, he basically stole AND won a couple of rings. id say thats worth 10+mil

Why on earth would Omar even consider for one second returning one penny?

Because Gil Meche did, duh

and he didnt earn it, look i hate omar always have always will. im sticking to my guns on this one.

really stupid hill to die on. omar is just playing the hand he was dealt.

oh trust me i know, even after all the good the past two years i am still butthurt at dayton for offering that fourth year.

[star seed 7]

I like omar, always have and always will.

SUPER GOOD<->above average<->average<->below average<->SUPER BAD

the royals are incapable of playing non-cap-lock baseball

[wetwillie]

Thankfully the rest of the division sucks ass so we have a great shot at winning the central

Ms. 8mp would pay big bucks for this if it's a real thing

Some Home and Road numbers---

KC (at the K)- .279 Average .427 Slug .756 OPS
Opp (at the K)- .245 Average .366 Slug .677 OPS

KC (on road) - .264 Average .389 Slug .698 OPS
Opp (at their home) .254 Average .445 Slug .780 OPS

At the K-- KC 133 runs 26 HR in 29 games (4.58 Runs/g)
At the K-- Opp 104 runs 25 HR in 29 games (3.58 Runs/g)

Away from K -- KC 117 runs 32 HR in 36 games (3.25 Run/g)
Away from K -- Opp 160 runs 53 HR in 36 games (4.44 Run/g)

RISP KC (home) .270 Ave 66-244 (road) .255 Ave 70-275
RISP Opp (at The K) .238 Ave 55-231 (Away from K) .249 Ave 63-253


1) clearly the HRs allowed on the road are the big issue. We have 7 more hits w/RISP but 21 fewer HRs than our Opp in the 36 games
2) We have 26 HR in 29 home games & 32 HRs in 36 road games (very comparable). We have a little better Ave and a few more hits per game with RISP at home (66 in 29 Home gms, 75 in 36 Road).  But we have been more effective in scoring runs at the K.
3) Overall,we have 58 HRs and allowed 78.  The only good thing is a lot of those are solo bombs.
Solo HR - Opp 56 KC 36
2run HR - Opp 12 KC 9
3run HR- Opp 9 KC 13
GS - Opp 1 KC 0

4) 1 last stat comparison
2016 - Home 3.35 ERA .677 OPS allowed
2015- Home 3.66 ERA .699 OPS allowed
2014- Home 3.89 ERA .704 OPS allowed

Reyes?

[8manpick]

Reyes?

I'd rather Whit hit .225 than bring Reyes on to this team

[wetwillie]

Reyes?

I'd rather Whit hit .225 than being Reyes on to this team

He's a woman beater and he's old balls, a real lose lose situation.

[The Big Train]

In your fat rough ridin' face verlander!

[wetwillie]

Escobar is the ideal hitter for the 2 hole. 

[sys]

i noticed yesterday that scoring two runs in the first inning was a good strategy, so i'm pleased to see the royals are employing the same strategy tonight.

[wetwillie]

Duffy is the ultimate finesse pitcher

[wetwillie]

That's what you get for hitting a homer off Duffy you piece of crap Martinez

[sys]

god is swift and vengeful.  a true royal.

[sys]

hey, eibner's healed all ready.  look at that.

[slobber]

Eisner will be a first year hall of famer. Is he the best baseballer of all time? Probably.


Royals aren't gonna win 'em all

[sys]

is eibner fast?  i didn't he was that fast, but verlander seems to.

[slobber]

This ump is screwing Dick


Royals aren't gonna win 'em all

[sys]

for a while there i thought maybe dick duffy wasn't planning on mowing hitters down tonight, and then what does dick duffy do?  mows three tigers the eff down.

[wetwillie]

We are getting slow in our old age

[wetwillie]

That's what you get for hitting a homer off Duffy you piece of crap Martinez

It appears God struck down the wrong Martinez.  A mistake easy enough to make I suppose.
