Then Royals lineup is the way all fans should want their team constructed. There is no real weak spot there. Really good team. As a fan, I like watching.

They had only 3 missed swings the entire night.

I think the Braves will be a similar team in 2027. Can't wait!

funny how fans are..

Cubs beat the Cards.. fans "power is what we need, doesn't matter if they strikeout.. Homeruns make a difference"
Mets beat the Cubs... fans "Pitching, yes, great starting pitching is what we need"
Royals in 1st 2 games fans "contact hitting.. man we need contact hitters, who can get on base"

we need great starting pitching with an offense that doesn't strike out and hits homers.. I bet we could be good then..

A kumquat. Just what the Mukaki Rebuild is missing.

I would rather emphasize veteran leadership and clutchness. With a team of Jonny Gomes I could conquer the world.

hey, if you just keep running him out there to see, um and play the hot hand because, um you sometimes just have to tip your cap to a guy like Gomes.

For reals. I love their team. I wanted Cain a long time ago, but I was laughed at for wanting to trade them Beachy for him. Apparently Cain wasn't that good according to gilesfan......

I was trying to remember the poster that wanted Cain, but couldn't. I do remember that you were decried for your suggestion. Cain has sure stepped up his game.

It's the zest of a Kumquat.

Do you want to ruin the entire dish?

Well we're never getting Bryce Harper.

Boba Fett? Where?

The KC model is not some isolated variation. In recent years, we've seen the Giants and Cardinals have some post-season success with similar offensive teams. There are other models: power pitching, power hitting. Having a good to great pen is probably more important for teams that emphasize contact/defense/speed. Those kinds of teams are going to be in more close games.

The same Royals that hit Josh Donaldson in the back, then threw at his head the rest of the game? Interesting.

I didn't think the pitch to Escobar was as close to his head as everyone makes it out to be. Ultimately, in the bigger picture, the Mets stomped in a must win game.

The Royals are the new kings of self-righteous ****ery when it comes to this stuff. Ventura throws at guys when he gets mildly agitated.
