Good thing Escobar is starting to look like he has a clue again, or that bottom third would be anemic by AAA standards. Now watch Dyson or Johnson park a 3 run shot to win it. :D

I am sick of watching Ellsbury stealing against our backups. If he gets on I can't wait to see Salvy throw him out.

Also, we have got to take advantage of favorable scoring chances. Yesterday we missed a lot of opportunities early.

I am not debating his past. My whole point was to trade him while his value is high. I think Maxwell can fill the role and he isn't great in the field, either. It is nothing against Butler but his insistence on being fat isn't helping his hitting or running and it is only going to get worse as he gets older. I don't really understand why the Royals aren't getting him a personal chef to shed, say 15-20 pounds.

What a ****ing crock. What are the repercussions if the ump decides he leaned into a pitch? anything?

They can not give the batter the base. I have seen it happen twice. Both times to John Buck, ironically.

I'm surprised KCPD didn't let her sleep it off in her car.

Original charge of trespass I think they are probably mandatory to cite for simply to discourage fan interference as KCMOPD has better shit to deal with and under other circumstances they'd often let it slide unless the person decided to be a dick at the scene or clearly needed to visit the drunk tank. Even then, probably just released uncharged after 12 hrs.

Hell, I've seen jurisdictions that have real crime to deal with and limited pd resources they need to allocate to higher importance actually take petty theft and shoplifters into custody for 24 hrs just to book and process and give them some time to "think", but released next day with no charges or citation. Crazy I know and its not the norm, but definitely happens much like domestic calls being detained.

Yep. Until Yost decides to put Esky in the leadoff spot and one of our best hitters gets days off because we are facing a lefty.

With Cain out Lough needs to practice in center field so that he and Maxwell can both play. I love Dyson but he should be platooning with Maxwell with Lough in basically everyday.

Guys, I don't want anyone to argue with my point, because I guess the stats (and sheer logic) are against me, but I really don't like Billy Butler. If you disagree with my point, please keep it to yourself. If you agree, reply to this post.

Thanks,

I like Butler okay and he is a good player, nice guy.

Don't much like his attitude though ... he seems selfish to me.

situational hitting - far more worried about swinging for the fences than getting a single or sacrifice the team needs.

Why take ball 4 and get on base when you can swing for the fences and gain some glory.

why lose 15 pounds and get into shape when that extra weight might get you a few extra home runs.

I am not debating his past. My whole point was to trade him while his value is high. I think Maxwell can fill the role and he isn't great in the field, either. It is nothing against Butler but his insistence on being fat isn't helping his hitting or running and it is only going to get worse as he gets older. I don't really understand why the Royals aren't getting him a personal chef to shed, say 15-20 pounds.

Far too early to see if Maxwell maintains his consistency- the dude is producing with the Royals almost as much as he did in his 40+ games in Houston. That's an anomaly you don't bank on this early and its not like there's any rush to pull the trigger or even any indication you could get fair value moving BB.

Asshat does need to trim for sure.

Especially frustrating when the guy has proven he is more warning track power than bomber, and if his fat ass got slimmed down would def be better going for contact to move the runners.

Its as if he thinks a HR is the only safe bet that he'll get to 1st safe because his buggle gum pudgy ass is so slow.
I bet Dyson could round the bases before Billy got home from 2nd.

Talking about the game the Bosox won after the bombings.

What everyone doesn't realize (besides Royals fans) is the umps fucked us out of win in that game just to give it to Boston. We got squeezed horribly in that game in an obvious attempt by MLB to give Boston that win.
