I wonder how many parks that gets out of. Pratto is on one.

EDIT: Out in 17 ballparks. Caught at the track at the K.

I wonder when they build Sherman's Palace in downtown I would assume it would be more of a band box than Kauffman.

Bob Witt Jr with a stellar .670 OPS. Bubba Starling kinda reminds of a poor mans Bobby Witt Jr.

I'm worried that's the case and I hope not. The ball carries well in the KC heat. For a team that's been horrible at developing pitchers for decades the last thing we need is to add another hurdle. Good way to end up like the Reds or Orioles who never really developed pitching.

Another warning track power shot

Lange is disgusting. He might be the Tigers' dude.

10 walks tonight by Royals pitching. That's worked out about as well as you'd expect.

We're not going to talk about how desperate it was to trot Barlow out for like 40 pitches?

Barlow hadn't pitched since Wednesday

An opposition announcer fired again in KC? Crazy ROFL

It’s amazing to see how much you relish in Witt Jr. struggling and openly wanting to see him fail, just so you can prop up Vinny (who most of us also love).

Neither BWJ or Vinny have yet to even play a full seasons worth of MLB yet? Can we just give them BOTH some time to see what they can become?

You realize Vinnie is already 25 and does seem to have an advanced hitting approach, partly due to age, and BWJ is still just 22 and came straight out of high school to play pro ball?

Let’s give it a little time before you continue to suck your own dick in this thread over BWJ’s struggles.

Fair enough?

No, we can mock Booby all we want. He had a full season last year, 632 PA. This year age 23, he’s wRC+ of 76. Identical to pipsqueak Lil Nicky. His performance at the plate is a joke this year and it’s ok to point it out

I was wrong. lil Nicky is at 88

Booby is 76

And Debbie Downer joins the convo . . . . . .

Look, pointing out a players struggles is fair game (you can point almost to the entire team with this), but to openly root for another players failure (which BW has done for a long time in this thread) because of some illicit love affair with Vinnie is pathetic and not something a Royals fan should be doing. Shouldn’t we want the team (and particularly it’s best young players) to succeed?

I’d have more respect if he just came out and said ‘I love Vinnie, and **** the Royals’

At least then the continual passive aggressive posting makes sense . . . . . .

Tell you what, since ‘numbers’ is your thing, why don’t you go look up some of the All Time greats (HOFer’s), not cherry picked, just a random sample of 10 or so, and tell me what their numbers were after 623 PA’s in the Bigs? Focus on guys that were 23 or younger when they started their big league careers.
