2024 MLB Season
-
1st place!
-
The boys are playing some ball
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Lorenzen, hopefully he does not miss more than one start.
-
I am hearing that he is going on 15-day IL so it is not looking that good.
-
Pasquantonio out for the year and with Lorenzen and Renfro on IL, Royals chances of winning the division took a major blow.
Hopefully they can get WC spot.
-
What happened? My bro and his wife are going to all the games in Houston. Did it happen last pm? Dang, they can step up!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It was a tragedy of errors. Astros on 1st and 2nd, hot comebacker up the middle that pitcher Erceg tries to barehand but only knocks it down (would have been DP if fielded), he gets ball and throws wide to Pasq at 1st, whose hand or wrist gets blasted by the runner. Both Erceg and Pasq had to leave the game.
We’re screwed.
-
Freak accident on first. Nighty night my fellow Royal fans!
I’m not quitting on them, though
-
With key injuries Wheels are falling off, Royals can’t seem to score and pitching can only get you so far.
I’m still hoping Royals can get into playoffs as a wildcard team.
-
KC signed couple of veterans yesterday to bolster lineup, hopefully change of scenery will provide a spark…
-
Big series coming up against mighty NY Yankees, hoping for at least winning two games in this one, sorry @jayballer54
-
for what it’s worth here is my prediction for world series match up.----I think the ALCS will be The Orioles/Astros, - -Then it will be the Orioles/Philles & I think Philadelphia will be world Champions.
-
Jay, On paper it makes sense although when lights are bright in cool Oct nights strange things do happen.
-
Don’t sleep on the Dodgers
-
I’m so glad that Royals didn’t trade Salvy, he is heart and soul of this team and he has reached 100 RBIs, rare feat for a catcher.
-
@AsadZ Significant enough to warrant a Topps Now card about it!

-
Swept by Tigers
Yikes
WC spot could be in jeopardy
-
On a bright side I am very happy to see Bubic and Lynch getting their roles in bullpen and contributing positively.
-
How about Ohatani
50/50 club
Goat
-
Now I’ve got a serious question , and not trying to get anybody’s feathers ruffles or someone getting their panties all in a bunch-- -it’s a serious legit question .
Are you Royals still in the hunt for playoffs ? - seen where they just got swept b Detroit didn’t know if they got knocked out or not.

@jayballer67 ESPN site has all the standings. You can choose by division, by league, by how nonfirst-place teams stand in the wild-card race, etc.
You can also scroll right to see runs scored, differential, and other stuff. You can sort by almost every column.
-
Lol
-
Not looking good, lost 5 in a row now.
They just cannot get timely hits to score some runs.
-
Detroit lost too
-
One game lead over Twins but they win on tie breaker
-
Hanni just said things looking better, skies have lightened up quite a bit – barely raining , just spitting/light - - -sun poking through, shouldn’t be much longer before players start warming up. — 25 minute warmup
JD-6 just came out of runway , checking things-- -hopefully we finish with a W
-
@jayballer67 You are in the MLB thread!

WELL WE HAVE NO FOOTBALL PROGRAM NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO GO
-
Singer got roughed up pretty bad today
He has struggled since All Star break
9-0 in 6th
Not a good day for me regarding sports
-
Well another sweep at home, WC spot is not looking good now.
I cannot believe loss of Pasquantonio has impacted this team in such a disastrous manner.
While overachieving, when you get so close it hurts.
In the offseason, besides bullpen help, hope JJ can sign an outfielder and 3B who can hit and score some runs.
-
Well Congrats to Royals for making playoffs after losing 106 games last year although I would have liked them to curb the celebration after being shut out.
It appears that KC will travel to Houston for WC games.
-
Congrats to the White Sox for being the worst team ever.
-
@AsadZ I can’t imagine anyone begrudging the Royals celebrating long and hard. Facing losing their position after a 7 game losing streak, they shut out the Nationals twice and won the 3rd game with clutch hitting, putting their magic number at 1.
It’s a season to be proud of, something no team has done before. And you would prefer they feel embarrassed?

Congrats to the White Sox for being the worst team ever.
I think they ONLY finished eighty nine GAMES UNDRE FIVE HUNDRED - -& 53 games out of first
-
@jayballer67 - White Sox aren’t done yet. It could get worse.
-
@approxinfinity We won 5 out of our last 6 sir and therefore our percentage is better than the 62 Mets and some other crappy team from way back!
Royals went 12-1 against us, like theyre not even a playoff team without the Sox! Funny thing is the Twins went 12-1 also against us but still couldn’t turn it into a playoff berth. Detroit is also in playoffs because of us.
It’s been a long two years on the south side, probably won’t be much better next year either. I quit on the team and couldn’t help but start watching again. Looking forward to the playoffs and seeing some teams win and lose.

The boys are playing some ball!

-
@wissox and sweeping the dodgers is always sweet!
-
@approxinfinity We swept the Angels not the Dodgers. Would have been sweet to sweep the Dodgers!
-
We won!
-
@wissox lol ok i misunderstood that
-
Are they still called the Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim? Bit of a mouthful.
-
Lugo was going strong but got in trouble in the 5th
Hope they can advance today
-
Let’s go Royals
ALDS
-
Three teams from AL Central in ALDS
-
Congratulations to KC for winning their wildcard— HUGE WIN for them. This is all I can say on baseball, and the upcoming series between NY & KC , because no matte what I say or how I say it o try and word it not being or trying to be disrespectful , there are people here that will say well Yankees trying to buy another world series.& that I’m just trying to rub it in and being rude sooo - - -
The only thing that I could say in response to that is you will never convince me that IF - - -IF - -IF kc DID live in a market as big as NY’s if they DID HAVE the kind of money for pay that NY has - -you can take it to the Bank that KC would do the identical same thing as your other big/huge markets do - -they would be spending just as much money on the Juan Soto’s -Aaron Judge and other big time players - no different that NY and Dodgers and others our doing now. Finally again GREAT WIN -GREAT SERIES for Kc should be another very entertaining series between the two — -GOOD luck , see how it turns out - that’s all my friends – ok, everyone go ahead and yell and unload I’m a big boy I can take it
-
@AsadZ Now I know why the Sox lost so many games! ALC is a juggarnaut! What’s funny is the Royals and Tigers probably don’t make the playoffs if the Sox had offered up some resistance and won a few games against both of those teams.
-
@jayballer67 Nah, no yelling. But your statement [that IF the Royal had the same market as NYY (which really means equal revenue resources) they also would spend heavily] makes a strong case for NFL-style revenue sharing.
No one has ever said small market teams spend less because they are better people who don’t like money. Sure, they’d spend, but NYY and LAD can afford to spend far more than their competitors. They aren’t more moral either.
It is an inherent flaw in the competitive structure that makes it harder for small-market teams, which is largely why the NFL is now more popular … revenue sharing and a hard salary cap have done a lot to keep teams more equally competitive.
Except for Jacksonville, it seems.

Go KC beat the evil empire.
