Kansas City Royals 2016 Season Thread

Airdrop01 · 03-05-2016, 09:26 AM

I'm sure for the umpteenth year I'll be one of a tiny group interested but...here it is.

Airdrop01 · 03-06-2016, 10:20 AM

No news is good news. Dyson out six weeks or more with oblique but my personal opinion is his presence in the regular season is largely optional.

I'm here for ya'! As usual, we get little to no respect in the media as defending champs! But, Kansas City is used to that throughout the years. I believe we will get to the playoffs and make a serious run at the World Series again! Same players, same attitude! The White Sox and Tigers make a couple of moves and, all of a sudden, they're the Central Division Champs!

GO ROYALS!

People overlook that this is basically the same team as last year at the start of the season and look what happened then...

Not a response to a post in this thread, but to your signature, royalflush - I remember Kila Ka-aihue, becuase he was randomly an A!

Just to make sure we have no bandwagoners here lol

Airdrop01 · 04-03-2016, 12:41 PM

Headed to the K. Start of the marathon! Let's get it on, baby!

Westheim · 04-03-2016, 12:56 PM

I especially enjoy the pronunciation guide.

Airdrop01 · 04-03-2016, 01:09 PM

Dude no kidding. That is so ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that's exhibit A that there are a whole crapton of new baseball fans in KC over the past few years that are mixed in with the salty old timers like me.

Also, how does Dale Swaim not get an entry in that guide? Hahaha.

royalflush · 04-09-2016, 09:57 AM

I'm going tonight!

Airdrop01 · 04-09-2016, 10:01 AM

Have fun. I swear last night it felt like a million years since they played. Two games Sunday and Tuesday and that was it. Ridiculous.

I hope Soria - who did throw much better last night even though he gave up the bomb with a capital B, gets his stuff squared away.

It is very early so this is normal.

royalflush · 04-10-2016, 02:38 AM

7-0! Brought home 1st place again! Ian Kennedy looked real good.

Airdrop01 · 04-10-2016, 09:18 AM

He did look good. It's hard to say though because the Twins looked so bad. After that error on Escobar's soft liner the wheels came off altogether. I felt bad seeing Santana get hurt like that busting it for that ball.

I bet Molitor is looking around thinking "why am I doing this again?"

It didn't feel close after the Moose and Cain HR's. If Ventura, Volquez, and Kennedy can all play like 2-3's then the staff won't be bad. Moore has had a tradition of bringing in one starter into the rotation per year. Santana, Vargas, Volquez, Kennedy.

royalflush · 04-15-2016, 06:06 PM

Esky is a freak.

Airdrop01 · 04-15-2016, 06:56 PM

That was one of the best plays I've seen in my almost 50 years.

It's just incredible how good this defense is. Gordo, Cain, Esky, Perez, Hosmer, Moose; Just doesn't get any better than that.

Airdrop01 · 04-15-2016, 10:47 PM

Dude, literally every spot on the field is filled with an athlete. It's so against everything that was the steroid era it is wonderful.

Airdrop01 · 04-16-2016, 05:02 PM

CY man. Not good.

I smell Chien Ming Wang soon.
