They are gonna win the division this year!
Great pitching!
Great hitting!
Great managing!
What a team!
Way to go, Royals!
I said at the beginning of the season when they were doing so well that they would fold and finish in LAST place as usual.
If this weren't so sad......it would be funny. The Royals......SUCK!!!!!
yes they do. GO CARD'S!
They had a great game yesterday though, wish they could spread that hitting around and save it for some other games. Meche looked great. Hopefully Grienke can bounce back after his terrible performance.
Remember, it's a game of streaks. We may have started a good winning streak yesterday.
Ahhh, who am I kidding it's the same ol' Royals.
MIZZOU football is just around the corner though!
I got it figured out why it's so windy in the north part of the state
ROYALS SUCK AND CARDINALS BLOW
I'll agree on the Royal's after all what would you expect out of a team that wears powder blue uniforms:rolleyes:but lets not go there when it comes to the 10 time world champion redbirds.......they'll be there in oct King Albert will make sure of that:cool:Quote:

As long as they are owned by the cheapskate from Walmart they are doomed. Then again thats American league baseball. The DH, no strategy, no thought process, just sit back and wait for the 3 run homer. Also with so much young talent, (Im serious) dont you think trey should have a set line-up? Getting the youngsters playing together on a daily basis? Thats how a team gels, NOT by putting the totally inept Pena at short, and changing the line up on a daily basis. Just my 02 worth.
jackb, I would have agreed with you about the cheapskate from Wally World a few years ago. But (even with the way we are looking this year) we are certainly on the right path. Dayton Moore would not be here if he wasn't sure he could turn the Royal's into a winner.
Dayton could have had almost any job in the major's but he chose the Royal's. I tend to believe that Glass himself assured Dayton that he would do what's necessary, money wise, to put a winner on the field.
We are a few years away still, you can't turn around what Glass let happen to the Royal's in just a few years. We have some of the best young prospects in baseball still down in the minor's. It's frustrating as a fan because I want to win now, but I believe we're finally doing the right things. Keeping our good young players, while drafting a developing from within (Tampa Ray's).
I think you are TOTALLY correct. I rambled on but my point is the ever changing line up. I really dont believe Trey has a clue who can do what, and in my opinion, that should have been sorted out in spring training. Players adept at playing several positions are utility players, not everyday players. Ever see the Yanks (not a fan) moving Jeter, Arod or Cano around? No, and thats how they get used to playing together as a team. I agree Moore is a genius. I just think Hillman mis uses under utilizes the players.
Earlier in the year I would have thought you were wrong about Hillman, simply because you don't know until you try people in different spots and you know how they will perform. This far into the season though that doesn't fly.
Hillman is no doubt on the hot seat. Glass is not raising the payroll to not see results. He may be gone before the end of the season if things don't start consistently getting better.
I think you are right on the money with that assessment. I would like to see the longtime hitting coach from Atlanta get the opportunity. I can not for the life of me remember his name, but it was tossed around before they hired Trey.Quote:

It was a great showing..........just what we expected.
Just think the Royals could have had Pujols, thank god they didn't.
You know whats funny about this is when you listen to that dummy Ryan LeFevbre announce Royals games, he is obviously a hometown fan. They do this right, they do that right, etc. etc. You listen to the announcers on this past game of the week,(Saturday) and they tell you the REAL story. no hit, no defense, no speed. Also watch how often a player will have a good 3-4 games with timely hits, and then Trey sits him! RIDE THE HOT HAND!!! Hillman is an idiot! Sorry to vent, but they DO have some good young talent that Hillman grossly mishandles.

Cook, I agree with you. My point is I don't think there is any consistency to the way the team is managed. Like I said in other posts, it seems to me the players, except pitchers, are utility players. They constantly play other positions, so my feeling is thats where the errors pile up at, because they are not comfortable going lets say from third to short to second. I believe a player gets better the more familiar they are playing the same position day after day. Example, PENA at short? An obvious liability in the field not to mention at bat. I'm not knocking the players, dont get me wrong. I think they do have some good young talent. I do, however, think it is totally mismanaged.
agreed!
