I'm pretty sure both ESPN and NFL Network have a running, mandated joke to cut to commercial every time the Chiefs make a pick. I was shocked they didn't do it when we picked #1 overall.

Might be something to this, because I don't think they were in a commercial when the Chiefs picked Bowe, Dorsey, and Berry.

I agree. The current Royals definitely play into the things Rock wants in baseball. Swagger, celebrations, and a non-apologetic attitude from finally being good after years in the gutter.

Can you imagine how much shit people would give an NFL team for starting a fight because someone did an endzone celebration after scoring a TD? Baseball is full of a bunch of pussies if you ask me. They get butthurt for things like this way to much. Dust yourself off, get better, and don't let them homer off you or beat the shit out of you if you don't want them celebrating. Don't get whine about it.

The thing is - when you read between the lines and past the comedic quips - he's not wrong.
ESPECIALLY when he references the un-written rules of baseball. I put this in another post, but I think the adherence to this BS is a HUGE reason why so many teams have a problem with the Royals right now. The little gestures and celebrations are much more indicative of the game in Latin America - but it doesn't line up with Rock's reference to the "white way to play the game." Setting that part of the discussion aside, the pace of play issue is huge as well. I don't know how we got here - but I don't remember games taking 3+ hours when I was a kid (I'm only 37). As a father to two young kids (soon to be 3) I can tell you its almost IMPOSSIBLE to keep them interested in a baseball game that long. I mean, the Little K and the playground are great - but I want my kids to develop a love for the game, that results in them wanting to see the ROYALS, not play on the Merry Go Round. I understand some of that will come with time (maybe not all) - but the pace of play certainly doesn't help matters in that regard. |

I saw this on Monday night, had an entire extended black family sitting behind me. They were obviously new to the game, were decked out in all new Royals gear, and were trying to get the crowd hype like they probably saw it during the post season. I heard a couple of them comment on how tame and boring the crowd was, trying to compare it to Arrowhead crowds. You could almost hear the collective grown from over 50 baseball guy every time this family commented on the game.
They didn't know shit about the game but they were into every pitch, which is way better than know-it-all guy sitting behind you who'd rather flex his stat knowledge than cheer for somebody. |
