They had to bring up that we traded Wade Davis for a steaming pile of shit. Thanks.

Not the best in Royals history, Royals history is game 6 against those bums from across the state.

Well Dane still thinks it was great trade. If we Davis this year we are in the playoffs. Soria blew what 6 games?

Hosmer might be a Cardinal

3rd time a pitcher has gotten a 7 out save in a winner take all playoff game. The other two were Bumgarner and Vida Blue in the 70s.

I ****ing hope not. Career 111 wRC+ from a first baseman is shit, and he seems to play at or below replacement level every other year.

What was your take on the 2011 World Series?

Game 7 of the 2001 World Series might want to participate in this conversation as well.

So who do you target in free agency? Unless it’s Stanton I think 1st base is a priority.

I was talking about one game not a series. That game Rangers would’ve won if Cruz knew how to play a fly ball. Royals had to come back from a 4 run deficit in the bottom of the eighth and than had to overcome another deficit in extras. Hosmers triple of the wall is the equivalent to Freese triple. Both very good games. If that game would’ve been game 7 than that game by far would be the best game

Hosmer is literally one of the best 1B in the game. I still think DM can sign him. If Hos re signs you can start building the statue outside of Kauffman immediately

All good points.

If I'm being objective, I think Game 6 of 2011 edges out the WC by virtue of it being a WS game (plus the Cards were down to their last strike twice and facing elimination).

The Royals WC game is certainly one of the greatest ever, though.

Hosmer was a different player this year. In past years he was always very streaky. This year he was much more consistent. If he plays like he did this year, he'll be worth the contract regardless of his past advanced metrics.

Now if that was just a contract year performance, it's a different story.

A lot of defense sloppiness by the Nats that did them in.

Werth misses that fly ball. That allowed a run to score. Seriously, how can you miss that (my guess, his eyes got caught in the lights)?

Wieters chucking that passed ball to first despite getting hit in the mask, which allowed a run to score, I believe.

Wieters was awful behind the plate.

That's two runs there.

He is not any of those things. In 400 more games since he came up, he has the same WAR as Mark Teixeira, who retired after 2016. Hell, he has barely half the WAR of Brandon Belt in 230 more games.
