we hit their guy in the forearm ... barely

They hit our guy in the face

I would tend to be pissed too.


We've been hit like 16 times(?) in 16 games.

Just take a second and think about that. We have a better "hit batter average" than many players have batting average.

I wonder if they'll just issue warnings to both teams before the game and be done with it.

fine with me

nobody gets hit on either side

sounds good

but that won't happen


It will be ...

Chicago will hit a Royal AND THEN the warning so again the Royals get hit with no retaliation without ejection

or

The Royals will hit someone and get ejected immediately, no warning at all

Unfortunately I think this is probably right. After the extra inning game yesterday a pregame warning might work today, but it will carry over to the next game with the Sox. I think we've squashed it. We probably have to turn our tail one time.

So like when Moose got hit in the face and took first like a pro?

Or there is a pregame warning. The Sox bean Cain in the first anyways. We get multiple players/coaches ejected, but the pitcher that hit our guy stays in the game.

I haven't been able to watch much so far this year, because the games haven't been on in Iowania.....but the truth is, I kind of like the team pissed off and feeling like everyone is out to get them. I can't think of a better way to keep them focused and not getting too big of heads based on last years success.

If you have Mediacom, I think they are on somewhere. They are definitely on in DSM. You have to flip through all the regional FSN channels because the TV listings are sometimes incorrectly saying that they are showing a different game.

It really seems like teams Are out to hurt them. I don't remember seeing anything like this before-except maybe in the late 70's-but that was against the Yankees-not the entire MLB.

That would probably be the one advantage to a pregame warning. If they hit a Royal, the pitcher will be tossed pretty much no matter what. If they don't issue a warning they can hit us first and then get the warning.

That's the drawback to a pregame warning, it can scare pitchers from going inside because if they hit somebody they're probably getting tossed no matter what.

They liked us as a doormat.
They liked us as a cinderella.
They hate as defending league champs.

I haven't every seen anything like this except maybe the Royals/Yankees in the 70's/80's.

Even then it was just 2 teams, this is several.

1. other team hits our batter first

Royals shouldn't retaliate because it's just baseball

2. Royals hit their batter first

Other team is free to retaliate because it's just baseball

If the Royals get spiked,hit,talked shit to,shot with a handgun ... just take it because that's baseball.

even some of our own fans will rationalize it so that the Royals are in a no-win situation


I'm not sure the Royals can survive an entire season with this kind of abuse. By the end of the year they are going to be so beat up that they won't have much left.
Harold Reynolds made a good point last night. He said a lot of public opinion has turned against Yordano Ventura because he talked shit to league golden boy Mike Trout.
