So yea, give me Trout everyday over Hosmer. And this is coming from a guy who likes Hosmer and even spent money on an autographed Hosmer bat. I, however, am also not going full reerun after two good games from him. I've seen more than a month of terrible hitting from him on multiple occasions. |

One thing I want to clarify from my post yesterday...
When I said Moustakas could be a .270/30 guy, I meant that as absolute upside. Career year-type hitter/thing. His most reasonable projection (optimism but not crazy optimism) is as a guy who hits .240-.250 with 20-25 HR.

His game Tuesday night was the 36th best playoff game ever based on Win Prob Added. It was pretty awesome to watch in re-wind (his rating would've been higher remember if that 8th inning double wasn't called foul)

Remove the sticks from your asses.
If being excited about Hosmer and this team, while railing on Trout in the process, call it full reerun if you want. I've been a Royals fan since the early 80s. Who knows when this shit happens again? Last edited by BigMeatballDave; 10-05-2014 at 11:03 AM.. |

I've ridden the guy mercilessly all year so I'm not exactly his biggest fan. He should be a 130 OPS+ guy by now. I don't know what got into him this week but it's been freaking incredible.

This was just a dumb and annoything thread to begin with, that's the problem. Yes, it's clearly been his best week of baseball in his life. And best week of baseball in my life! I hope he can translate some of this to a whole season of play. He'd be a household name if he could find some consistent power in that bat. |

The stat I thought was amazing was that Hosmer has joined Brett as the only Royals to reach base 4+ times in a playoff game more than once.

That's great. I said Tues that he "went full GBrett" but he's now done it again and may not be done. Him, Moose and Butler prevented us from winning the Central but have finally come on. If we beat Ana losing the division might have been a blessing
