Royals are in first!
- Thread starter cyflier
- Start date
I was in KC last week and everyone has busted out their royals gear so I wouldn't worry about a jinx.
I've told myself not to wear the hat or shirt until the playoffs. But if they actually make the playoffs, I don't think I could break the trend.
The one time I wore a Royals shirt this week and they lost. I really don't want to have to hang up my gear, but if it supports the cause, I'll do it. I feel so conflicted! #HuntForBlueOctober
If they can go 7 for 9 on this road trip, it will be a GREAT road trip. Also, Detroit heads to Tampa for 3. I would like to see a 4 game lead when they come back home Monday.
Anyone think there will be a big crowd for Jeter's last game in KC on Monday?

They say he is day to day down here on Sports Radio. Playing Colorado next, my guess is that they give him some rest.
There power hitting is almost non-existant. But their team BA is great. They need some young power hitters to come through, but they tend to draft then sell them before they can do anything for the team.
Yost has done a great job with his pitching staff, but the lineup still has big holes in terms of run production. The ownership has not shown enough committment to keeping young hitting talent on the team or picking up a big free agent to fill the holes. The former is really what a club like this needs to do, but they love selling their talent. It makes it hard to cheer for, although we are in a heck of an upswing. Haven't been this good since Bo Jackson was shagging fly balls and Saberhagen was winning Cy Youngs.

Can you tell us when the last time this occurred was? Carlos Beltran? Seriously I see this posted a lot but that was many years ago. In reality the Royals have been signing their young hitters they have developed like Butler and Gordon.
Greinke was the only developed talent they have traded, and it made all the sense in the world given how far they were from contending, oh, and the fact that he demanded a trade. Prior to that we did what we needed to do and signed him through his first couple free agent years.
Good to hear. Hopefully Yost gives him a good break. Maybe Kratz will turn out to be worth the Valencia trade
