2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread

2012 Slogan: Our Time

A better, more accurate 2012 Slogan: It is Finally Next Year
(from Great Expectations)

An alternative slogan if you don't like that one: Someone has to win this crappy division
(from alnorth)

With the beginning of a new year, it is time for the 2012 version of the Royals Repository Thread. We've got Hosmer, we've got a 2011-dominating Gordon, we've got Moose, we've got hopefully a killer bullpen, we've got a stereotypical slow slugging DH, we've got easily one of the best defensive shortstops in the AL, we've got a promising catcher in Salvador Perez. Hell, we've got offense and promising prospects galore.

We do not have starting pitching.

Oh yeah, we've also got this:



Get ready for, (as of January 2012 anyway), one of the most confusing puzzles of a baseball season in recent Royals history. Will they suck? Maybe, I don't know. Will we be given a year of 0.500 baseball? Possibly, I don't know. Will they win the division and go to the playoffs for the first time in 27 years? For the first time in a long time, it could happen, I don't know. 92 losses, 92 wins, or anything in between would not surprise a lot of us.

Everything goes here except Gameday threads and really big news. If a giant story breaks, the Royals achieve some awesome milestone, or we sign/lose a highly significant player/coach/mascot/whatever, then it might also deserve its own thread. This being Chiefs Planet, please do not clutter the board with new threads about trivial Royals news or you will only annoy those who come here for just Chiefs football. If you aren't sure and its not a Gameday thread, it goes here.

What sort of stuff often goes here? SPchief explained it well, so I'll just copy that:

Quote:
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 he gets a base hit, we'll win the AL Central.

If he walks, we'll be assured of at least a wild card but we'll have a close division race which we may or may not win.

If he is out but at least puts the ball in play, we will finish 2nd in the division but be in a close wild card race which we may or may not win.

If he strikes out, we're screwed and will be lucky to finish .500.
Well, at least it'll be a fun year.

edit: Gio walks. With our pitching this season, we're gonna need him to contribute with the bat, our offense will need to be F'ing awesome to overcome the runs we'll give up.

Home Run Butler, Royals up 2-zip.

From the sounds of it, that was apparently a monster home run. (edit: the MLB gameday guy put the red dot way, way past the left-center fence)

edit: Bloop single by Moose.

Ridiculous. MLB audio feeds are not free for ST. They used to be in the past.

I have XM, but of course their online MLB feeds are not available. Stuck in the office today, so I guess MLB Gameday is the best I've got

Long fly out by Perez, followed by a line drive single in Cain's first spring AB. Escobar up.

Royals done in the 2nd.

Gordon just missed a 2-run home run in dead center. The wind is blowing out and even without the wind, the ball always carries anyway in the Arizona dry air.

Mendoza K's Beltre, then gets Michael Young on a grounder. That is encouraging so far, if he doesn't start out of spring, he could still be another solid piece in the bullpen.

Rangers done in the second after 25 pitches, Mendoza started to lose the strike zone, but pulled it together.

edit: Scott Feldman pitching for Texas.

Gio reaches on an E4

edit2: inning-ending double play from Butler

Rangers done in the 3rd in 8 pitches, including a nifty 4-6-3 double play.

Added bonus: hilariously snarkey story from Denny about the Royals old, horrible spring training home in Florida.

edit: Royals done in the 4th 1-2-3 after 9 pitches

Rangers done pretty quickly in the 4th. Single followed by 2 pretty good defensive plays. Escobar got the lead runner on a slow roller, then a double play ball hit to Mazzaro.
