I don't understand the purist mentality in baseball.  The Royals are having fun and MLB should be thanking them for creating excitement and passion for the game for younger generations.  Celebrate every moment.

Nobody seems upset about it except bitb. There was 100k+ people there this weekend who loved every second of it. I think the everybody hates the royals talking point is just made up by bitb

I mean is there a link to the purist website where they all complain about the royals? No wait its just kkwhb twitter feed. He wants the royals to be quiet more than he wants them to be good. What a dinosaur

The utter bullshit the A's are spouting about all this is what's helping drive the anti-Royal narrative on this

HUGE win today.   Didn't want to drop 2 straight series after the fast start. 

HDH plus Frasor.... 20 scoreless innings
Morales.... had a hit in 11 of 12 games (5 multi hit games)
Cain....Early candidate for Top 3 in AL MVP race.   Ave over .400, OPS over 1.100 and a handful of run saving Def plays

Totally agree with All of the you that said this team is a blast to watch and follow right now.   :Woohoo:

I'm glad our team isn't a bunch of racist crackers like the Oakland A's.

Poor Billy had to watch his replacement make the game winning power hit and the fans go nuts for it.

I've never seen Kauffman like that in April (outside of opening day).  What a fun time at the ole ballpark yesterday.  The A's can eat a bag of dicks.

last year our average attendance was 24,154 which was the best since 94. Through 6 games, we're averaging over 32k a game. That would be a team record.

Escobar is going to be fine, he was available to play yesterday.
Infante will be out less than 2 weeks because he is old. he finally got hot like i said he would too btw.

I could give a crap about infante, IMO Colon is an upgrade at the plate and on D. Hope esky comes back soon though, he's what holds the infield together.

Infante has been swinging the bat pretty well actually. Colon hasn't.

I think in the long term Colon is a better option. Infante's shoulder is clearly still bothering him since he didn't have surgery over the offseason. He struggles to make the turn for routine double plays. Not saying infante is crap, I just like Colon better.  :dunno:

We can't have long stretches without Esky. Calixte played very well at SS, but he has no presence at the plate. I'm also not a fan of Orlando leading off.
