The Royals

why do we always give up runs in the first?

Because come-from-behind wins are fun!

They are fun, but a few wire-to-wire wins would be nice from time to time.

So if we somehow win 2 of 3 when Shields, Santana, and Guthrie start (which would be an incredible amount) how many do we need to win when the 4 or 5 scrubs start?

25%?

33%?

I can think of infinity better bruces.

escobar really has turned into just a great professional hitter. like if you made me a royal today, i'd prob want to be him. shortstop, does a lot of things with the bat, great range, good arm, middle infield, can yank and go yard or put it on the ground and go oppy. plus he always just looks really surprised all the time and just like such a good guy. love him.

Rick, you strike me as more of a Country Breakfast type of guy

I just got home from the game, left because it was too cold.

Remember when we were worried that he was a career .200 hitter? Phew.

Whatever it takes to get to 90 wins. I bet 90 gets a wildcard spot. This is usually the type of info i ask KSU_FAN to figure out for me, he's usually good with numbers.

really pretty incredible and he just looks and seems so nice and stuff. i'd try to sign him for whatever right now. lock him up. looks like he will turn 30 when his contract is up in 2017 when the team exercises it's options.

I was being lazy.

66%/25% would be around 81 wins. 33% would be around 87. It would take winning nearly 40% with the 4/5 pitchers to get 90 wins. And this assumes no injuries and 2/3 from the top 3.

87 wins is perfectly reasonable. I would expect more than 33% from 4/5 and less than 66% from 1-3. The way the rotation + bullpen has been should cover a multitude of bad plate discipline and poor managerial decisions.

yeah. with a team option. idk. i just like him a guess and honest to god maybe it's the braces but he just seems like a good guy that will always try really hard. idk. i'd just like him to play here for a while i guess.

Hud talking about Alex Gordon's hit last night.   "He'll never get another hit like he did last night, off his knob............(uncomfortable pause)........of his bat".     

[sunny_cat]

Was pretty amazing.

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Hey, Rick! Get off Escobar's nuts for a minute so he can get a hit!! 

[scottwildcat]

AC43 is a stud. Wish be could of became a starter, but being a badass setup type guy is good too.
