*** Official Royals Repository, Part 4 ***
In this thread: All things related to the AL Champions.
Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins One month in: Looking strong All Star Break: Looking strong, probably should adjust up to 93-94 wins. Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer One month in: Upstaged by his best friend MIKE MOOTACOS, MAN. Tell us bout your hittin, bro! All Star Break: Lorenzo Cain starting to run away with this one. Division Preview Clearly, overlooking the Twins was a mistake at this point. I still don't believe in that team long-term, but they're starting to get that Magic Season twinkle about them. Detroit is toast. Garbage rotation beyond Price and Sanchez, Miggy out. And Cleveland... Cleveland still is dangerous if it ever clicks offensively, because the starting pitching is good enough for them to real off a 15-5 stretch and get right back into the playoff picture. The Royals will be a division winner IF ... 1) Ventura and Duffy combine for 375+ innings of high-quality work 2) Eric Hosmer delivers on his potential with a FULL season of success rather than bursts 3) The deeper bullpen lessens the critical load on Herrera, Davis and Holland 4) Lorenzo Cain stays healthy 5) Either Alex Rios or Kendrys Morales bounces back to 2013 form The first of these is clearly not going to happen. The second looked good through the end of May but is now eating Cain's dust (Hosmer has still been improved this year, though, lessening his valley. If he has a really hot second half, he can get right back in it). Item three is definitely the case. Item four should probably be first at this point. And Morales has more than bounced back. Duncan’s Top 20 for mid-season 2015:

Or the Royals may just have to move Vargas to the 60 day DL, which effectively ends his season and opens up a spot, without having to send anyone down?

I'm still a little upset that Manea was in this trade but love Zobrist & hope Ned plays him everyday instead of a utility player.

Baseball Tonight was just talking about the Zobrist trade. Everybody seemed to love it. Especially because the Royals didn't affect the major league roster like the A's did last year. Jim Bowden said he talked to Yost today. Zobrist will play LF until Gordon gets back, Ned likes having Dyson as a 4th OF he can plug in anywhere, or use off the bench.
When Gordon comes back, Zobrist can obviously play 2B/RF depending on how Infante/Rios are doing, and can give Hosmer/Moose days off from time to time. |
lol. Tigers are so cooked. Getting roasted by the Rays. 10-2 the final score.

So about that updated top 30 list can you post it again?

I'm just old enough to have been heartbroken by the Chris Chambliss shot in '76. That last inning was one of the most awesome in Royals' history.
|
Almost want tigers to win the next 3 or 4 so it pushes them into buy mode, screwing their future.

Pittsburgh up 6-3 now

Pittsburgh up 7-3 now.

I am not saying I don't ever want to see Scott Blewett pitch for the Royals, but with that name I am hoping that Scott Blewett never pitches for the Royals.

Twins tie it at 7-7.

Pirates HR! 8-7
|
Twinks lose.
|
Lmao 9 game lead
|
I'm worried about the white Sox they won six straight and are two under .500.
|
No need to keep referring to Mondesi as Adalberto. We know who he is
|
I did a quick update to the prospect list, moving guys up. Lost three out of the top 10.
I think the MLB top 30 is placing way too much emphasis on recent draft stock and not nearly enough on what's been doing lately. Ashe Russell's upside is not what Zimmer's is, and Zimmer is damn close to the majors. Ranking Russell No. 2 because he's a recent first-rounder is just kind of silly when he's a HS arm. |

Praying that Zimmer can stay healthy. From everything I have read he can be a force in the majors and the only thing stopping him is his health.

Miguel Almonte had another promising start in Omaha tonight. Went 5 innings again, allowed 0 H/4 BB and no runs while striking out 5.
Cumulative stats at Omaha: 15 IP 16 K 6 BB 4 HA 1.80 ERA 0.67 WHIP 0.089 BAA Needs to throw more strikes, but that's an impressive debut in his first three starts at a new level. |
Trevor Bauer gets so worked up on Twitter LMAO
Worse than Duffy ever did before he quit Twitter. It's funny that a professional athlete gets so salty at opposing-team fan twitter members. Here's his Twitter, click on tweets and replies to see the bulk: https://twitter.com/BauerOutage |
Dude is WORKED UP.

If you're a professional athlete (especially baseball) and have to justify your salary to random people on Twitter you may be doing something wrong, imo. Just put the phone down, buddy.
This is similar to the type of shit Duffy used to pull. Not the insulting people part, but the getting worked up over people doubting/tweeting at him. He wisely deleted his Twitter a few years ago. |
What magic created this updated repo thread without any effort from me?
:Thanks the mod elves: |
Holy shit man, this Trevor Bauer is such a clown. What is he doing, he has like at least 5-10 totally immature replies. You have to be better than that as a professional. BauerOutage...what a fkn tool.
Honestly, I have no idea what Francona was doing. Bauer was already at 105 pitches, in a tie game, still pitching. Right before the Hosmer AB I was telling my buddy what on Earth are they doing, take him out. I guess if htey have a god awful pen I can see, but relievers are more effective almost always than a SP at 100 pitches. Only time I'm leaving a SP in at 100 pitches is if it's a 2+ run game either way, or it's my 1 or 2 man. |

Last year at this time Oakland had a 12.5 game lead on Kansas City...and then somehow ended the season with one less win than them. Then blowing a 5 run? lead in a Wild Card game.
Some A's fan had to have tried to slit their wrists after that, had to have. |
