Find a "clutch" stat in which his numbers are not better or right in line with his career stats. Tie games is the only one with any sort of significant variance.

Looking at the clutch stats, one of his best numbers is actually in CLOSE AND LATE situations. Which speaks directly to ABs that matter the most. He's actually remarkably consistent regardless of situation.

If he was making hay when the royals were way behind, it would show up statistically. It doesn't. If he was making hay when the royals were way ahead, it would show up statistically. It doesn't.

Your perception is lazy, "counselor." And incorrect.

Myself and Lex saw him play. We disagree with each other's lens. You did not see him play. You and I will disagree that stats can be deceiving. When discussing Royals clutch hitting AO is waaaay down the list. Regardless of Royals batting average when discussing "clutch"- guys like Brett,W Wilson,F White,T Poquette, P Sheridan,A Cowans, U.L. L Smith, T Poquette, and I'm sure I missed a few were guys that were far more "clutch" than AO ever was.

Don't get me wrong, AO was a decent player at the time we acquired him and was a good starting point to building a competitive team he just never evolved into that "consistent gamer" that was needed to go to the next level.

Another gem from this ****ing dipshit. Real analysis here. How did I never put that together?

I'm not jumping into this argument, but I am surprised to learn that "Love of the game" is one of the 5 tools.

Not a huge mike sweeney fan, but I remember people saying he wasn't clutch and dude always lead the team with go ahead RBI's or runs.

4. 1975

5. 1976

Can anyone tell the glory years of Royals baseball? Although 2013-2014-2015 are 7,9,10. Personally I think 2015 is our best team ever esp with Zo and Cueto.

The '77 team was always my favorite all-time Royals team...but last year's team moved into the #1 spot. The '80 team was ahead of the '85 team because of Brett's year & beating the Yankees.

My top 5 Royals teams:

1) 2015
2) 1977
3) 1980
4) 1985
5) 1976

Baltimore fans and La Canfora are getting a little testy right now because they've basically led the AL East most of the year, and just recently Toronto passed them and pretty soon Boston will as well.

They're looking at a 3rd place finish in the AL East and they are not happy about it.

And you know what . . . . . . . f**k em.

I'd love to pass them for the 2nd WC spot. Epic!

Let's be fair guys. SS would never judge the quality of a president he wasn't alive to see.

Mike Aviles traded to Atlanta, lol

I almost agree with that list.

No love for the 2014 team that swept its way into the World Series and lost in game 7? They have to be in there somewhere!
