@brooksmd This year’s team is extremely inconsistent, when they get hot they sizzle and when they are cold they go on long tough losses. They are unable to put complete games together -pitching/hitting/defense. When pitching is good offense gets cold and vice versa.
Winning the div is extremely difficult but I am hoping that they can somehow squeeze into the WC spot, return of Salvy will help.
@brooksmd Last night a bummer, hope Royals can win next two games that will put them 4.5 back. Indians have been really hot and they must cool down, hopefully sooner rather than later.
@HighEliteMajor My gut feeling is that Lightfoot got punched by Lawson otherwise Self would not have suspended him.
How crucial is this up coming series against Indians, I’d love to see royals sweep them in front of home crowd
@mayjay Sorry I misspoke. By no means it is a fact. It is only my opinion based on my observations and how I view the performance.
You certainly have a right to have your own opinion which could be different than mine.
@JayHawkFanToo I was referring to above average and not Elite players as were you in the earlier post and both will agree that Royals had several above average players. In addition I was talking about the past, back to back world series, that you had mentioned in your post, and not this year. That is why I had included Davis. We had a dynamite bullpen, HDH, going into 7th with a lead would be an automatic win, Yost did not have to do much. Fact of the matter is that Ned is a below average manager.
@JayHawkFanToo Hoz, Moose, Salvy, Cain, Gordon, Duffy, Davis, are all above average, I can name a few others
I hope Yost retires after the season as Dayton will not fire him, he is below average.
