The Royals

The whole offense sucks, you imbeciles. Not just Butler.

Multi hit game for moose tho 

Moose is at least a positive sign.   Still, when you're paid to do nothing but hit and you suck at it, you deserve to be crucified a bit.   eff Billy Butler in his fat, slow ass.

Billy Butler is statistically one of the 10 best players in Royals history and he deserves a longer leash than 30-something at bats.

Considering Moose's continuing struggles, it there anyone in the minor league pipeline who can replace him? My guess is No.

No, there is no one close.

The hope I have that separates this year from last year: Moose is our 7 hitter. If he can give us league average 7 spot production, I'll be okay. Our biggest problem last year was that we needed him to be a 5 hitter, and our offense relied on him giving us middle of the order production, which we obviously didn't get. Now that we've added legitimate threats at 1 and 2 (and I have all the faith in the world in Nori and Omar), any good production we get out of moose at 7 is a luxury.

Now, our biggest offensive issue at the moment is leaving runners on base, and I blame the 4-7 guys for that. I feel like Hos, Butler and Gordon are going to come around. And if they step up while our starting pitching remains even close to what it's been, we'll contend. But if Billy is our best hitter all season, we won't make the playoffs.

As far as our bullpen goes, there are obvious concerns, and it has little to do with tonight. We'll have nights like this where nothing goes right. But we can't have a weak bullpen. If Duffy can produce out of the pen, make that his role this year and let him become a starter later.

meister, very good analysis, hopefully one day I get to pak with you and just talk baseball/and or other board stuff, I know a ton about it but dont like writing it all out and stuff. 15 min for one person to say  is not worth it for me.

Sweet, he's a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) who was smart for like 8 months. Like two years ago.   Dude is rough ridin' terrible.  I don't care if he works for free and sweeps up the dugout after games, he's being paid too much.

Bones found a weird time to bitch about Moose.

[Kat Kid]

1). Tigers-  grew up loving then because of my dad.

2) royals- I wish them no harm and like some of their players (YORDANO!).  The fan base is adorable as every year they find out Santa is not real again.

3) Twins - I cannot ever truly be mad at a Minnesotan.  Their Lutheran earnestness is like a funhouse mirror of Kansan farmer earnestness.

4) sox - their fan base is absolutely the most likely to drink themselves in to a violent mob.

5) Indians - racist name.  Ohio.  Cuyahoga.  Bleh.

Do people still think James Shields is an ace?  He's a decent 2.

[mocat]

What am I supposed to do today? crap guys

[scottwildcat]

What a rough ridin' joke.

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Our ace is a 22 year old dominican, not a 32 year old glorified #2 starter.

[The Big Train]

We get it, jackstack

[joda]

We get it, jackstack

Hey guys, Shields is not an ace, didn't know if you'd heard that yet
