BUY! BUY! BUY!

*Except do not under any circumstances buy Rios to replace Lough. We just seen why.

But don't buy Rios to replace lough goddamnit

True.

No ****ing shit. Would be a terrible, terrible move. ****.

I'm all for Chen placing an 82 mph fastball between Dunn's shoulder blades next time then yelling at him to take the ****er out next time

Buy buy buy - except that despite that we've won, what five straight, we haven't made up a single game.

It's the head to head games against Cleveland and Detroit where they will have to make up ground.....and they won't be able to do it. Well, not against Cleveland anyways.

The trade was stupid to begin with.

Why?

Because Shields is only going to be A Royal for 2 years. He'll get big money somewhere else.

Wade Davis sucks.

We give up our 1st/2nd best minor league pitching prospect and one (if not best) Royals hitting prospect in quite some time for a 2 season rental on a team that realistically isn't ready to compete w/ the big sticks of the division over the course of a season.

This team needs power bats to move our dinker hitting offense around the bases. Butler needs protection. That's the most important thing in this lineup and he simply doesn't have it. Hosmer and Moustakas have absolutely ruined this team this season.

Yep. Exactly why this thing is going to be so tough to do.

Wildcard standings though, assuming Baltimore lose today, we gain a game.

May is what killed this team. Hos has come around, but his and Mooses stink in May was a huge part of what buried this team.

And not a single **** was given by me. Move on. What's done is done.

Would you agree that Shields + Lough at RF > Wil Myers?

In a vacuum for this single year? Yeah, the numbers would support that. The problem is that you're looking at 6 more years of Myers, which is always why so many people were upset by the move.

If Moose and Hos becme perennial 25+ to 30+ HR, 100+ RBI guys, then the sting of Myers hurts a lot less.
