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 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]

Get rid of him, and get some position players that can actually produce MLB batting statistics that don't labor in the bottom 15-20%

its a lot easier to build a good bullpen when you already have a great closer.

I don't see any logic in, "our bullpen sucks, so get rid of our closer".

(actually, I don't see much logic in a lot of stuff that gets said around here. but, hey, I'm no geenious.)

Way to read into only half of what I wrote. Bravo.

Your bullpen sucks. Check.

Your offense Blows chunks of biblical MLB proportion, Check.

We have a great closer. Check - but what does it matter if you can't A. Score enough to get a lead, or B. keep the lead with your BP.

Hence, ship him off, and build a TEAM first.

That's bullshit. /Dayton/

not defending anyone here, but the red sox also know how to throw that money around. do you honestly think they would be as successful without doing that? everything else aside IMO in MLB you HAVE to throw tons of money around to be a consistent winner

If Dayton Moore had money to spend, we'd be the NY Mets - the other franchise that eschews statistical analysis.

What does their spending ability have anything to do with paying attention to a major way to evaluate talent?

Dayton Moore is dumb as ****. That's my only point.

So, I flipped over from the Chef's game to be treated by the single worst defensive play that I've seen all year.

Span hits a line drive toward the right field line. Anderson goes over, takes a poor route, and the ball skips under his glove. Should have been an EASY pick up. Then, he kinda halfass runs after it. Not 100%. Clearly a bit embarrassed.

Then, he picks up the ball to throw it in, and it slips out as he's bringing it back, so Anderson actually throws the ball backwards.

Span is credited with a triple, and there's a one base error, as he scored with ease.

Game tied, 3-3.

The Royals are epically shitty. Thanks, Dayton.

This is pretty amazing: The Twins' Michael Cuddyer hit 2 HR today, both in the 7th inning.

He hit 2 HR in the same inning.

2.

Dayton Moore....super genius.

**DeezNutz** · 08-23-2009, 03:38 PM

Worst GM in baseball.

He's had enough resources to try to put a respectable product on the field, and he's assembled a team that can't field, get on base, hit for power, or hit for average. SP was above average until Hillman, apparently on Moore's orders according to recent interviews (see the latest Moore interview with Petro on 810), decided to abuse the **** out of all our starters.

Worst. GM. In. The. Game.

Hands down.

Dayton Moore gets to spend 40 mill a year more than Allard Baird and has the same results..I bet somewhere Baird is laughing.

Sure-Oz · 08-23-2009, 03:42 PM

It figures the Royals get 'the best young baseball mind' and he is a total idiot...why couldn't the redsox have gotten him damnit
