So are we to assume that since they're dominating the spring league that this will be a 100+ loss team when it counts, kind of like the old days of Royals baseball??

You named two stadiums. A skyline view would be nice, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities. What skyline view would they get in JoCo or Clay County? It's about getting the ballpark close to downtown because that's what Sherman and the city planners, investors, and politicians want.

Pretty much.

2022 - 8-8
2021 - 16-8 1st in cactus
2020 - 9-12 not good
2019 - 18-11 1st in cactus
2018 - 16-13 2 gb from 1st
2017 - 17-15 2 gb from 1st

That's there record in spring training. They seem to always play well in ST.

The Royals always seem to score a lot of runs during ST.My question is,do pitchers really throw their best stuff though during ST,or just kinda go through the motions ? Its gonna be an interesting season if nothing else,seeing Garrett and Chapman both in the bullpen,i never imagined seeing Chapman in a Royals uniform.

I don't think pitchers are going out and giving it there all. Im pretty sure they are working on certain or new pitches. Maybe different scenarios.

Salvy had himself a day for Venezuela! 4-4 3 Runs, 5 RBI’s!

Brady Singer started strong with 2 good strikeouts and then completely imploded to give up 4 runs with 2 outs.

USA is getting absolutely embarrassed by Mexico right now. 10-2. They might even get the mercy rule invoked if Mexico gets another hit here.

Bobby Witt's first AB with an RBI double for Team USA. Would have been a triple if Goldschmidt wasn't running in front of him.

Speaking of embarrassing…thankfully we have our less athletic neighbors from the north in our group! ROFL! Should definitely get that mercy rule invoked tonight hopefully!

Oddly, I think that was Canada's plan as well actually. They threw a 19 year old kid in A ball out to get destroyed tonight (knowing they'd likely lose no matter who they pitched) instead of their more experienced pitchers because their games the next two days against Colombia/Mexico will decide whether they advance or not. If they get mercy'd, they get to pitch less innings and therefore save more guys for the next two days. Weird format.

when do the claycomo royals open play?
