No matter what team you pull for

Logic, If someone came on here thumping their chest about Duke or Kentucky, well that’d be worse than this. This is a Jayhawks site mainly. Of course we like to brag about the Hawks and all that, but I don’t go to Kentuckybuckets or Pukebuckets (wow, Pukebuckets!! That’s a great one!!!) and brag about KU. That’d be an affront to the one or two decent people that follow those teams.
https://www.pinstripealley.com/ That’s a great one for all things Yankees. Go there. Continue on here if you want but continue to hear us be annoyed by it too.
No I’ll just continue to stay here as most my posts are strictly KU. - -BUT seeing as how this Header states- -KC Baseball ? Other MLB - see that opens it up for any fan of any team being able to post what they want to post , when they want to post , and as much as they wanna post about their team that like in that particular sport.
I know I need to get my eyes checked but I don’t see anywhere that it says KC Royals talk only. So I’ll probably just leave things they way they are - -annoy away I’ll still be able to sleep just fine
-
@jayballer67 no one says you can’t post. Next time maybe ask if anyones seen the Yankees. Ask what people think about them. Might get some discussion going. I’ve done the same with Wisconsin. A few times I’ve made it known I enjoy them as well. Most people ignore me because they could care less. Some discuss them a bit, quite a few jumped on the bandwagon and cheered mightily that we’d knock off Duke in 2015. A couple of people have made remarks and I back off knowing this is a KU hoops site. There’s ways to discuss these topics without them becoming a controversy.

exactly
-
@jayballer67 Actually, the only thing that bothers me is when you complain here about what the Royals broadcasters say about the NYY. I have not even heard a Royals broadcaster since Buddy Blattner gave way to Fred White!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 HaHa! I just saw why you wrote Salvy! Awesome hit.
-
I suggest the topic be just Royals! Make another that’s just MLB.
-
Royals ruined my evening tonight in Chicago but it was a great game nonetheless.
-
Well Padres won the Soto trade - - Josh Bell also to the Padres- - – think there are 5 minor . - - leaguers involved in trade Nationals get these 5 minor leaguers and Pitcher Gore to the Nationals
-
Might be a little snag in this Soto trade but we know it will get worked out. Eric Hosmer has yet to waive his no trade clause for this trade to happen.
Being reported Hosmer not happy about being traded to the Nationals , so it might take giving Hosmer an additional year on his contract , maybe more money being added to his contract before he signs
-
If I’m Hosmer I’m making the teams work the deal out without me. No way I’m leaving lovely San Diego and a loaded team for DC (which I love, but it’s no SD) and a from the foundation rebuild.

pretty much how it turned out. Hosmer said no really doesn’t matter they said. Soto still a Padre. San Diego giving up theit top international prospect 18 yr old kid throws a 102 mph slide - - 102 mph fast ball. - -Talking about trading Hosmer to the Cubs for their catcher now
-
Did anyone see Salvy’s homer last night? As Hawk would say, “Mercy”.

ya saw that , crazy - - lol

Whit merrifield gone, Toronto
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Hadn’t heard, saw him play last night, wondered why he wasn’t playing tonight.
-
Toronto must have been very impressed by Whit’s medical research.
-
Yankees 4 games below .500 since the beginning of July.
-
@mayjay he’s been vaxxed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, he has. Guess his decision to “protect his health” by not getting vaxxed suddenly became less important once going to a contender was possible.
I have loved this guy since he played for SC and won the CWS. But the disrespect for his KC teammates is just sad.
-
@mayjay I saw him play in Baton Rouge a few times!
-

struggling in every phase of the game. Of Course hard to keep up the pace they had - -got some pitchers hurt but big thing is they are just not hitting . Of course just about every club goes through a stretch in a 162 game season , they got to get this straightened out
-
I wish I had been watching the Royals game tonight. Pratto with a walkoff hr. The rooks are fun! Saw a replay!
-
-
I actually like Royals lineup, several rookies playing and contributing, hopeful for the future.
-
KC rookies are playing with hunger and energy, great to see.
-
@AsadZ The young’uns sure looked impressive Wednesday night. Glad they got to do it on a national TV platform. With no pressure on them, I can see the Royals doing some damage to a few teams’ playoff hopes.
Also good to see them knock the well-traveled Mr. Cueto out of the game.
Speaking of well-traveled ex-Royals, Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer to beat the Yanks Wednesday. (Benintendi struck out in his only at bat.)
-
@nwhawkfan they remind me of the young guys, hoz, lo Cain, moose, Gordo, and esky.
-
The energy amongst KC rookies is infectious.
-
Fun game today!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 White Sox are toast. Losing 3 of 4 without Tim Anderson playing proves it.
-
@wissox these young kids have added so much energy to the game! They are having fun!
-
Now that I think about it, unvaxed KC players not playing in Toronto was a blessing in disguise for Royals.
It forced Management’s hand to bring several rookies and provided confidence to players that they can play at this level.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 As long as we’re talking about “young kids,” apparently I missed the news about the off-season retirement of the once highly touted local phenom Bubba Starling, who just celebrated his “milestone” 30th birthday.
As someone who just celebrated a milestone birthday myself (more like a millstone in my case), I’d wondered whether the Royals had just given up on him and let him languish in Omaha. What ended his career? Injuries? Weak hitting/fielding? All of the above?
-
Dodgers at Royals will be a great measure of how the Royals are playing. Dodgers are over .700.
-
@nwhawkfan Wikipedia doesn’t indicate any injuries directly causing the end (did have a number of them, though). Only played in 91 games across 2 seasons, batting .204 with 17 RBIs. Last appeared in Sept 2020. Looks like he just couldn’t hit MLB pitching. Got to keep that $7.5 mil, however!
-
@nwhawkfan just was done. Wondered if he wished he had chosen Nebraska fb. Kid was an stud athlete.
-
@Gorilla72 They held up until 7th but bullpen could not hold the fort. Lynch was solid, got out of several jams.
-
Royals shut down mighty Dodgers.
Singer has been a different pitcher since returning from Minors, his stuff is electric and needs to keep pitching with confidence and in attack mode.
-
Be nice if the Royals could beat the Twins right now!
-
AL Wild card race is a real dogfight, and looks to stay that way up to the end of the season. Seven teams fighting for three spots. Lots of scoreboard watching going on.
-
@nwhawkfan AL Central could be a 3 way tie after tonight. Guardians losing again to Detroit. Sox losing, but just by 1 after 4.
-
Yankees 11-22 since July 9, 3rd worst in baseball in that time.

Going into tonight 8-16 since the All Star break - , you talk about a clean 360. I mean i know you have a hitter or two hitters in a slump, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an entire team go into a hitting slump at the same time. I’m sure there are those of you loving and thats fine, these guys getting paid huge money to produce and not doing nothing. - Going into tonight I think they have scored ONE run in the laast 27 innings. they deserve the ridicule.
It’s ok as a TRUE fan no matter the team you stay with the team through good times and bad times – -no closet fan here it is what it is and they Suck right now. It’s not the pitching staff it’s is they are JUST NOT HITTING THE BALL I mean jumpin - - -Gee - - hossie - -toads. - At this rate they aren’t even going to win the division. But I’ll continue to pull for them I just keep wondering when it is going to end lol. – Kind of like cheering for KU football - - I’m going to root for them good times - - -bad times, the difference between a loyal true fan AND A CLOSET FAN
8-16 PUTS THEM AT THE 2ND WORST RECORD ONLY IN FRONT OF dETROIT LOL
-
Rough road trip for the Royals.
Can the Yanks bounce back, frustration is high in Bronx.

Neve seen an entire team go in a hitting slump at the same time. - 12- 25 -I don’t think no world series but now believe they won’t even win division
-
Speaking of slumps, with all the gloom and doom surrounding the Yankees these days, one thing they have going for them is the recent mediocrity of the rest of the league, save the Astros.
As bad as they’ve been lately they’re still eight games ahead of the Rays and the Jays in the AL East, and still have time to turn things around. And if you look at the “last 10” column in the standings, only Tampa Bay has been better than 6 and 4.
While it’s always possible for a team to go on a consistent run, I wouldn’t bet the farm on anybody else in that division, as long as they continue to beat each other up.
The playoffs are another matter though.
-
Albert Pujols is on an absolute heater right now. Since the All-Star break, he’s hit .449/.500/.939 (leads MLB with 298 wRC+) with seven homers in 54 PA, and since the start of July, he’s hit .378/.429/.769 (229 wRC+) with nine homers in 91 PA. Hit #693 tonight. 700 is very doable all the sudden!
-
@FarmerJayhawk My daughter was in Wrigley last night and saw him homer.
-
Singer has been become an ace, rest of the starters have been mediocre at best.
Ever since coming back from Minors he has been a dominating pitcher.
