The Royals will go on another good stretch. I just hope it's not too late. This has been an incredibly streaky team.

Hopefully we can salvage a win tonight, then win 4 of 6 vs Chicago and Oakland before Cleveland comes to town.

we are 2-8 in the last ten and are only one game out of the wildcard so it's still doable. Need salvy back asap and tear up the pud September schedule.

Is it too late to do the weird waiver wire trade stuff and get something for all of these guys who are going to leave us next year?

"PIPE dream" (ref, CF3 quote)

Whit Bird was his dad's nickname for him as a kid. I like it.

His dad sounds like a jerk.

The same fucktards who didn't recognize that we were getting crap value for manea, lamb, montgomery, finnegan, strahm, reed (those are just the lh sp we dealt).

We won a WS dumbass. These are all below average pitchers too. Stop trying so hard.

i wonder how much of our starting rotation we traded away to get Cueto, can anybody look that up?

And surely a couple of those guys have won that Cy Young thing. They are all studs, correct? Like #1/2 starters for their clubs?

This team wins a pennant with finnegan no doubt in my mind

what spot was he in the starting rotation before we traded him to get Cueto?

JFC, don't you guys remember that one playoff game where Finnegan came in and gave up a run and was renounced a hero after that?

#2 behind #1 Lamb, good grief did you not watch the 2015 royals at all?

Finn led the Reds to the playoffs last year right? I'm sure they won 95-100 games.

Would you rather have a WS ring or a pitcher that has gone 13-14 over the past 3 years?

mocat · « **Reply #71890 on:** August 10, 2017, 09:49:49 AM »

starting pitchers....how far have you went before trading for a new one?

Feels like we need a 10-2 type of game with a Moose bomb, a LoCain Lean, and some weird Escobar triple where the right fielder misplays a ball in the corner. Would really clean the palette. We're all on edge in here.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #71893 on:** August 10, 2017, 10:14:04 AM »

Odorizzi is the one guy we traded that is a good SP. But we got Wader Check Please so no big whoop.

This pile on is brutal

mocat · « **Reply #71895 on:** August 10, 2017, 10:28:40 AM »

so if i have this right:

2015 starting pitching rotation pre trade
1 lamb
2 finnegan
3 cody reed
4 ace
5 duffman

2015 starting pitching rotation post trade:
1 cueto? volquez? idk, he was definitely mexican
2 ace
3 duffman
4 j-guts
5 forever young CY jelly

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #71896 on:** August 10, 2017, 10:34:23 AM »

we had j-guts (trash version not miracle version) and Youngsie in the same rotation and won the WS

do you guys remember when Yordano just stared down Tulowitski and started walking towards him after he struck him out? It was Game 6 of the ALCS not some random Tuesday in June.
