Royals 2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread - Page 20

All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth, me and atleast 5 others will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Word is that's on the Jackson County 2012 .01% tax initiative preposal. I'm thinking of going for it if when can ensure ourselves a national t-ball allstar game by 2021.

Stroud's has gone down. At least I don't like the one they re-opened on Shawnee Mission. The originial was the best.

Well...from a business perspective, the "New K" was a pretty smart move.

The whole outfield experience thing is brilliant. Even if you only have an announced attendence of 20K or so, there might be another 10-15K out in the outfield walking around, boozing, buying food, or playing games.

Dayton Moore - the worst GM in baseball according to SI

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...ankings/1.html

Though in fairness, that article sucks. It is, however, probably right in this regard.

Interview on 810 with Petro:

Dayton Moore says Farnsworth will get shot at rotation?

WTF????

Is the competition for the 5th spot really that atrocious?

Dayton continues to disappoint. I don't know how much of that is due to the cheap-ass Glass family, though. But seriously, he continues to show dumb decisions. I speculate Olivo was not re-upped due to Olivo's relationship, or lack thereof, with Trey "I'm the white Herm" Hillman. I woul have let that decision ride with Greinke, personally. Grienke liked pitching to him and that is something I am not ****ing up considering he is the lone bright spot on this pitching staff.

Let's say you're David Glass.

You just gave your GM more money than any GM in the history of your franchise. You gave him approximately $15 million in extra run-around money than the year before. In fact, you gave him a higher payroll than your cross-state rivals.

And with that run-around money he acquired Farnsworth, Jacobs, Bloomquist, Ramirez and Crisp while dumping your 2 best setup relievers. He also locked up loads of payroll in a pair of underachieving catchers and traded for Betancourt.

Would you be too terribly inclined to give him another $15 million?

Glass cannot be blamed for this. He's made a major committment to the Royals ever since Moore came on board.

And Moore's pissed down his leg.

I agree, the Olivo for Kendall (not literal) swap is a real negative for the Royals chances this year.

He's supposed to be good with picther development, so hopefully that will help offset his liability with the bat and throwing out runners. He used to steal bases too, but he's too old and slow for that now.

****, we had that with John Buck. I expect Bryan Pena to see significant playing time this year. We need to see what this kid has. He did nothing but impress me last year.

Dont' forget the brillant highering of Trey Hillman.

Hiring Trey was a big ****ing mistake. I supported Trey for a year. Then I couldn't do it anymore. The guy is an idiot when it comes to baseball. I know little league coaches that could do a better job than him.

"I'll bring in Soria for 3 outs but not 4" we lose the game .....two nights later "I'll bring in Soria for 4 outs not 5" we lose the game .....two nights later Soria gets brought in for 6 outs, we win the game.

Or one of my favorties, tie game in the 7th, bases loaded Guillen and Butler are on base and you pinch run for not one but BOTH of them! And we eneded up not scoring to take the lead in the 7th and had to play 11 innings without our 2 power hitters in th game.

**petegz28** · 03-05-2010, 01:16 PM

Or another Trey highlight, Bloomquist leads off a 1-0 game and draws a walk on 4 pitches. Meir comes up 2nd and Trey has him try to lay down a bunt on the 1st pitch which was the 5th pitch of the game! IF Meir kept the bat on his shoulder until he got a strike on him the count would have been 3-1. But NOOOOOOOOOO!

THAT my friends is Hillman in a nutshell.
