Skoglund was just on BITB and OMG I love him even more now.

The 2018 Royals will be so Royals it won't even be funny. Whit and Skoglund will be the fan favs of every Will Spradling/Brady Morningstar loving white person in the area and they will lose 97 games.

I like feel good stories, man. Can't hold these kids accountable. Take it out on Dayton and the DR's shitty driving rules.

I'm glad he pitched well WC I'm just annoyed how much fans go ga-ga for these try hard white boys and don't see that a players like Yordano and Salvy and such overcame actual life difficulties. Like I guarantee if I asked my mom her fav player right now it would be Whit. Its stupid.

It's because they are playing good baseball, Cartier. If they start sucking, people won't like them any more than they liked Chris Getz.

RATM I talk to people all the time who hate Johnny Cueto and love Zobrist.

Even when he's smiling he looks like he's on the verge of tears. I am glad he pitched well, I am, I just. I mean I don't wanna be a team of try hard white guys that lose 97 games and we are headed that way in a hurry.

I'm glad my circle is so small. I can't imagine being around people that think like CF3 is mentioning.

I was able to enjoy a good thing for an awkward looking white kid.

People turned on Cueto after he had a lot of terrible starts for the Kansas City Royals. He redeemed himself in the playoffs, but I guess that was just too late for some of the die hards.

Really the best argument you could make would be the people who still love Alex Gordon. I'm not sure if he would still have the support he does if he were black.

I just miss the 14/15 team. That's what's really going on. I miss Eddie and Kendrys and Holland and J-Guts and Yordano and all of them.

I mean in 2014 after Alex hit that walkoff HR against the Twins I stood in the stands chanting "MVP! MVP!" and I meant it.

SdK · « **Reply #69687 on:** May 31, 2017, 04:03:26 PM »

So do I Cartier. Mainly Yordano. He and Gordon are the main reasons I watch. Now I have like .5 of a guy now

Haha ok. Ill give you that. Do you think no part of that has to do with the length of his tenure and mainly about him being white and from NE?

Yes he was. I was shocked to see he has only had one year hitting above 300. Resigning was not a good call. Selfishly I'm glad they did.

Heard on 810 he may get moved to c.f. or 1b next year.

Is there no chance the Royals can offer to pay part of his remaining contract and trade him? I know people have said he can't be traded it. I'm ignorant all the clauses. It would seem like they should be able to offer to pay half of his remaining contract and trade him, no?

Out of all players with at least 150 plate appearances, Alex Gordon's .492 OPS ranks 195th. He is only better than Alcides Escobar. Nobody else is worse.

I mean, if the Royals ate like 80% of his remaining salary and wanted basically nothing in return I'm sure some team would take him. But no team is going to pay him close to what he's owed the way he's playing.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #69694 on:** May 31, 2017, 04:18:41 PM »

Maybe if the Royals decide to cut Alex and eat his entire salary I could see a playoff contender taking him on to play the role that Jonny Gomes played for us.

If we cut him and ate his salary someone would take him to be a defensive replacement or something. I could see that I guess.

we should keep him because he's helping us get the good draft picks we need.

I totally misread this post. I thought it was more evidence for Alex white boy adoration. My bad.

I'd think someone would want some solid defense and could eat the shitting batting for a discount rate. It wasn't about what we would get back, but the money savings.

He still keeps his body in top shape so that is a plus.
