  That’s the unfortunate reality of this sport, difficult to compete small market teams unless you have a solid management, likes of Tampa and Oakland

  @Crimsonorblue22 Royals drafted the nephew of our Louisiana dentist and a grad of our kids hs. His name is River Town which will be an all time great mlb name should he make it.

  Sorry I missed this. I generally take issue with pitchers winning MVPs. Of course Ohtani is an exception because he’s way more than a pitcher. DeGrom, give him another Cy Young as he clearly deserves it. But don’t give him an MVP too. He impacts 30 games or so. Let someone who is on a team that will clearly play in the postseason a chance at some hardware. While the Mets are in the drivers seat in their division they have no guarantees.

  @wissox Well this is something I can definitely agree on… Analytics has changed the game away from what used to be known as “good” stats. Hitting .300 is no longer really a stat that we care about. The Mendoza line has become meaningless if you can hit 50 HRs while you do it. I do think they should work to get more balls in play, but I’m not sure how they do that without very big rule changes. Moving the mound back a few feet and deadening the ball could help. But I don’t really have an answer.

  Taylor had another strong game yesterday, really impressive. This Royals lineup can cause some damage.

  @mayjay said in WE’RE BACK: @wissox Congrats on the new job! There is certainly enough upheaval going on this year that having to find another job must have felt like piling on. I am seriously doubting any games will be played this year! Thanks! I’m still skeptical too of any games. Covid being reported among PGA players. LSU got a lot of football players quarantined now.

  @dylans the longer they play and The more people get busted. It makes the MLB look bush league for not letting Rose in. They can’t prove he ever bet on anything but his team to win. Which shouldn’t be done but it’s not like he was point shaving like several have been busted doing in BBall. The Patriots only get a slap on the wrist for cheating.

  kjayhawks said: @approxinfinity happy for you. This Nats team reminds me a little of the 2014 and 15 Royals. Just make the simple plays against a team that has spent 2 times as much on players. Definitely one of the oddest WS in memory. Has the road team won every game before? No

  Woodrow said: Why is everyone so against that Matheny hire? I do not really follow baseball nearly as close as other sports so I am just curious why the uproar over this… He did really well in STL winning .555 % of his games and went to a WS the year they lost Pujos. I was listening to Soren earlier today and his take was “what did you expect”?? @Kcmatt7 I agree on the pricing. I used to go to a lot of games and they were fun. I was lucky enough to go to a couple WS games in 2015, but after that run they raised prices on everything and its absurd what it cost to go and have a night out especially now with the product they are putting on the field. Here is a quote from a Ringer article about him: “Matheny won despite being widely regarded as the league’s worst tactician.” To top it off, he’s very “old school.” He wants a team that’s all gritty players. Which, typically aren’t going to be your 20-something-year old rookies who are trying to develop and are a bit in over their heads. He’s the type of guy manager that is going to mentally break some guys because he’s just an asshole. Matheny could manage the Yankees to a WS and bring some toughness and an edge to a group like that. I think he’s probably great for a ball club right on the cusp that needs an identity. I do not think he is the right hire to develop a group of young players that will be mentally fragile during their first season or two. But that’s my opinion. I really liked Grifol though too, so I’m probably biased just from that. He would have been my first choice by far.
