These last couple of years have been such an incredible period for the Royals. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better two-year stretch in their history. Truly a special time to be a fan.

Oh yeah. Definitely the best few years in team history. Even if there was a couple of years that had been close from an accomplishment perspective, the decades of suck prior to 2013 would have been the trump card. Hell, it wasn't that long ago that our "highlights" included lead off hitters batting out of order and a Mark Redman AS game selection. |

I've been a Royals fan from the very beginning. We had some really good times in 1976-78, 1980, and a great time in 1985.
But nothing compares to the time period that began with the 2014 postseason and ended with the 2015 World Series. It couldn't have been better. I know this is the best I will ever see in my lifetime. |

Not really. He's sucked every level he's played in save for 2012 rookie ball. Royals are just confident in his work ethic, physical tools and that he can develop into a better player than he's shown, at least offensively.

Always wondered why teams didn't use virtual reality or at least show gopro videos of the opposing pitcher from the batter in the box's point of view. Would give them a feel and ability to "see the pitcher" without having to go thru the order a few times.

Maybe for next year's All-Star game they could put a GoPro/Body Cam on the home plate umpire for the game for a POV perspective.

Maybe they just wanted to get him with the aforementioned hitting coach at Omaha.

That's why you can't just stat watch with minor league guys. Have to take into account their age and scouting reports. Mondesi has been about five years younger than the average age of guys at his level at every level. Some of that is being an elite prospect, because they always are younger, but it still is an impressive feat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So it's gonna take 90 wins to get a WC spot. We are 45-43. So we have to go 45-29. Does anyone honestly see that? Like for real?

They're going to need a decently-sized winning streak or a 15-5 stretch to make it happen, most likely. Let's say they open out of the break and go 15-5 (like they did a few years ago). That gets you to 60-48, needing 30-24 the rest of the way. Doable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
