Just face the fact that it is not happening and move on with your life.

What in the world is happening with Seattle? MLB is showing me the Mariners scores and not the Seahawks, right?

if it was a seahawks game they would have won... 10-22 is ridiculous for sure.

As long as the last play wasn't on the 1-yard line.

Pretty typical MadBum game, 12 Ks through 8, a double and a home run.

That guy is the definition of the perfect NL starting pitcher

Graveman sent to the grave by the Os. Now almost replacement level.

Watching Angels and KC - Angels offense struggling. Lets hope it continues. Ventura is a little prick but he is filthy

 

Rios is a shadow of his former self in RF for KC with a sub .600 OPS

He throws a hard curve.

 

For example, his curveball has -5.2 z-mov at 83.4 mph

 

As a comparison

 

Fiers has -12.1 z-mov at 71.8 mph

 

Kershaw has -10.2 z-mov at 73.5 mph

 

But if he's so nasty, why is he not very good?

He is young. His stuff is nasty but its command I think.

Not unexpected with a guy that throws so hard.

Joba Chamberlain signs a minor league deal with the Royals. Hmmm...

 

On August 30, 2007, during a game against the Boston Red Sox, Chamberlain threw two pitches over the head of Kevin Youkilis. Chamberlain was subsequently ejected for the first time in his Major League career. The next day, Chamberlain was sentenced to a two-game suspension and a $1,000 fine

 

Ah, so that's why they signed him. Joba the Hutt should be a perfect fit, then.

KC's Morales has been a great find for 6.5MM. 9mm next season.

 

SH with pop who uses the whole field. Drove in the winning run last night with a walk off single to the opposite field.

[intentional wok]

What's scary about the Royals is that they're still missing their best player.

[BlueBirdBro]

Does anyone think Washington can actually turn it around?

So true. That last series with them was electric. Watched Herrera last night pumping out FBs at 101. Cant stand that guy but he is good. Id love to see JD drill one of those (or more than one!) in the playoffs.

 

That team is well put together. Pitching, D and a solid offense. I still like how we match up now though.

The Royals are overrated IMO. I hope someone gives them a reality check in the playoffs.

Everyone in baseball, from journalists to KC fans to even people on this board called them dumb for signing. They are very, very lucky he's been great this year.

 

He was a 32 year old coming off an atrocious year and they gave him a 2 year deal. I'm surprised he didn't want a 1 year deal.

What aspects do you see as over rated? Cueto and Zobrist nice pick ups.

 

I hope so too on someone spanking them in the POs. Cocky bunch.

Offense and pitching, though they are pretty damn good defensively.

[Ehjays]

I know I'm problably in s*** for starting a new thread but thought we could have one where we post some wild plays.

 

So this play, the baserunner starts at 2nd base......he attempts to steal 3rd and runs back to 1st!!!!

 

I've never seen a play like that.

 

[LTR]

Zomg you created a new thread... mods!!

[CHRIS]

I had no idea you could go back bases.

I find this whole thing to be fascinating. How does a major league ace and 10-year vet struggle so much throwing the ball to first?

[BTS]

I know it's a minority opinion, but I like how the Royals are built. Leveraging their giant OF by acquiring a bunch of elite OF defenders, and then leveraging them by going cheap on a rotation of flyball guys. Then you have the elite pen, and now Cueto as the head of the staff. They have an identity. Not sure if Moore planned any of this or if it just kind of fell into place though.

[o2cui2i]

he was tagged at second without his foot on the base. he should have been out right there. stepping on the base means the back runner is out because only the lead base runner can have the base but he is tagged after that and then they tag the guy who was already out.

 

 

dumb runners and dumb ump.
