Soria

[Hamwallet]

Can we trade him next season for 300 bucks in big league chew?

[lewdog]

I fucking hate him so fucking much.

[wazu]

I'd settle for cutting him now, just so he is never an option again. Eat the money. Stop eating the losses.

[eDave]

Soria = Sanjaya

[baitism]

I don't even hate Soria anymore. I hate Ned. Everyone but Ned knows Soria sucks.

[Nzoner]

I hated the idea that they even brought him back,now I hate the idea they can't admit they made a mistake and cut his ****ing ass.

[Chiefspants]

Dayton got a little too tied up in nostalgia to give him 25m until he's 34. The right time to sign him would have been for a one year deal 2015, when his cost was at a low point.

If a championship got GMDM to drink the kool-aid a bit, I suppose there are worse things, like not winning a championship at all.

Oh, GMDM and Ned would have plenty of leeway. Just admit the mistake and move on. But no. Let him take your money AND kill your season.

Soria does have a ton of career saves, though.

[OmahaChief]

This is an example of Yosted...the fact he keeps running that brokedick out there is bs.

I'm about as pro Ned as it gets on here... but his performance in September is pretty abominable.

[Nickhead]

my gut told me he was a mistake early on. could have even been during spring training.

precisely. He need his ass beat!

None of this matters, Ned won't keep him off the bump.

[KChiefs1]

Joakim Soria has more losses (3) since August 30th than half a dozen major league teams.

Let that sink in....

We could and should be sitting pretty for the playoffs if Soria wasn't on this team.

[KCBOSS1]

Didn't the broadcasters say that 11 times this year, Soria gave up the lead? Wouldn't reversing that alone put us in the wild card, or at least close? Put Soria in games out of hand conditions to eat innings. Unbelievable.

[bsroyals54]

Hochevar can't come back any sooner


P.S. fuck Soria in his blowjob face, brokedick shithead

[Deberg_1990]

Loved him in 2009!!

Wasn't everybody in LOVE with Soria during the Royals World Series win? :hmmm:

They got lucky with both Chris Young and Volquez last year, not so much this year. Soria is just further proof you can never go back.

Indeed we were....we loved the fact that he was not on this team

We'd only need to reverse 1/2 of his blown saves for your statement question to be answered yes.

[Prison Bitch]

Herrera serving up a 0-2 hanging curve (wtf is he theowing that on 0-2???) right over the middle of the plate to Byron Buxton....of all people.....was wayyyyyyyyyyy worse. And it was the difference

He actually pitched for the Pirates last season. Made an appearance in their wild card game.

I know you are too busy with your agenda on this board of being that asshole and always championing your typically unintelligent takes, but the majority of fans who follow the Royals AND understand baseball enough to comment, are complaining about Soria based on the fact that Ned continues to use him. While Soria is the one giving up runs and blowing games (and yes, people are upset with him), most are complaining because everyone seems to realize he sucks except for the one person who makes decisions.

You repeatedly (in here and in the repository thread) stating that Herrera giving up a HR being the difference in the game further illustrates just how completely dumb you sound 99% of the time. It is NEVER a bad idea to pitch Herrera in any situation, especially "high leverage". It has been proven throughout 2016 that it is typically a VERY BAD idea to pitch Soria in any mild-to-high leverage situation.

Furthermore, Herrera giving up that HR was not the difference in the game. Yes, I get that we lost by 1 run and in your mind, that equates to him costing us the game. Duffy exiting the game with a 1 run lead in the 7th inning and Ned handing it over to Soria was the difference in the game. Plain and simple.

I know I am far from alone when I ask that you just walk away from this board. Your takes, particularly when it comes to Royals baseball and KU basketball, are old, tired, and often way off base. I'm not sure if you just like being the board asshole or if you are so stupid you actually believe some of the crap you type makes legitimate sense, but either way, it would be great if you would just stop posting.

[carcosa]

Fuck Soria and fuck Ned for blindly trusting his broken down ass

If Holland wouldn't have blown his arm out, we'd be in the hunt for the division.

[Prison Bitch]

He's basically the new Aaron Crow

[gblowfish]

As I was watching the Mexicutioner kill our season last night, I was thinking about the end of the 2013 season, which was really the launching pad to give the team momentum into 2014, and start the first of two world series runs. On the last home game of 2013, Justin Maxwell blasted a 10th inning granny in a zero-zero tie game.

Guess who gave up the tater?

And aren't you a Pirates fan?!


He pitched for them last year close to 30 times. :facepalm:

Catching up on recordings, just caught the game.

This mother ****er right here, he needs to not be on the team now.
Fucking hell, Ned!! DAMNATION AND FIRE :fire:

"Oh yea, that quarterback save reliever. He came in during the second part of the 3rd quarter, during that touchdown drive towards the net."

Ah....I was at that game....Maxwell CRUSHED that pitch!!!!
Thanks for the memory refresh!!

[Deberg_1990]

He's coming up in he 8th again. Let's watch!!

[suzzer99]

He'll get to two outs then load the bases on a walk, a bloop and a hit batter.

[GloryDayz]

This is proof they didn't put him down! Ugh!

[Deberg_1990]

He looked solid tonight!!

[Deberg_1990]

They should have kept Soria in there for the 9th. He was dealing

This bullpen has flipped.

[Demonpenz]

That Maxwell homerun was when the royals fans still were found of him....Ryan said "And fitting enough...Soria closes out another royals victory"

[lcarus]

I like Mr. Hamwallet's idea.

[T-post Tom]

Soria is the new Chris Young. Thankful for the good years but it's time for him to go.

[RealSNR]

I think of Chris Young and I still remember the good times and how important he was in the World Series, particularly Game 1.

I think of Joakim Soria and my blood starts boiling. His good wasn't memorable and his bad is HORRENDOUS. He's worse than Chris Young. Far worse.

You make good points. Although at one time he did pitch at a much higher level. Bottom line...it's time for Soria to go.

[EPodolak]

I would like to never see Soria pitch in another game. Ned must agree, surely.

[BWillie]

Guess who was second in MLB in blown saves last year? Soria!
Guess who is second in MLB in blown saves this year. Soria!

[RealSNR]

"We're just spoiled, that's all. We're so used to a consistent shutdown bullpen that fans overreact to what is actually average bullpen play and regression towards the mean."

This ain't an average bullpen. It's AIDS. Soria is the worst fucking one, too. He has zero positive qualities as a pitcher. At least Maurer has a powerful fastball. At least Moylan has that weird fucked up sidearm.

Soria has nothing left. Only thing he has is his control, and he showed he had lost that ever since he came back in 2016.

I meant what I said a few posts earlier. I'd rather have Chris Young in the BP than Soria. I'd rather have most of the 1999 - 2011 era Royals BP pitchers than Soria.

Fuck Soria. Fuck him. Fuck him with antifreeze.

[BlackHelicopters]

DFA Soria.

I actually think Soria is tied for first now

[Dartgod]

Tied for first in the AL. Tied for second in all MLB

[BWillie]

I actually think Soria is tied for first now

Yeah and that doesn't even include all the tie games he's good at ruining. Two years in a row. That game killing fuck stain.

[GloryDayz]

Ned manages slightly differently than some others, if I recall correctly he waits until he thinks it's time for a change, then waited 10 days or games (can't remember which) before he acts on them. Something he learned while he was with the Braves. I think he's exceeded that mentality at this point when it come to Soria.

But I'm sure his answer will be, "who am I going to put out there?" That I don't know, but trotting out a safe bet for a blown save isn't very smart.
