I support this move

Jack described the Royals latest addition as their new set-up man, but I'm seeing others call him the new closer. I think closer makes more sense but either way I'm excited for the bullpen upgrade. They could also do closer by committee, I guess.

looks like god's not a fan of the trade.

Let's just hope he keeps that chronic back injury at bay.

Keep winning

these first three days couldn't have gone any better.

sys · « **Reply #76012 on:** July 21, 2024, 03:25:54 PM »

62 games left. i don't think .500 over that stretch will do it, but maybe not much more. 33-29 maybe good enough?

sys · « **Reply #76013 on:** July 21, 2024, 03:27:48 PM »

it's weird looking at the standings and finding out that cleveland has been on a stealth slide and is now just five up.

Yup, fantastic start, and Minnesota, Cleveland, Red Sox, and Yankees have one or multiple losses. Huge swing into relevancy

I think they need to win 35 games/be in the 90s of wins.

Need an 11 pod update please. Also how many wins the 2014 royals had after 11 pods.

Lugo is literally shocking to
Me. The most under covered story in MLB

wacha has been solid too. just rough ridin' nailed the free agent pitching market over the off season. at least for starters.

2024:
54-45 (.545)

Thank you for your service. That 2015 team was so so hot.

I loved the 2014 team more than 2015

Yeah, and crazy how this team fits like almost in between the two of them, close to the 2014 on the pods but closer to 2015 on the runs diff. But I don't think 2014 had as many god awful teams for the Royals to play against in 2014 vs 2024. White Sox are historically bad.

mocat · « **Reply #76024 on:** July 22, 2024, 02:26:26 PM »

Starting with game #99, the 2014 royals went on a ridic 24-6 run. 48-50 to 72-56 in 1 month
