Their minions on twitter are the absolute worst. When I said that Salvy might be the last chance at a home grown HOFer who stays with the Royals, a few of them replied along the lines of "Lol Salvy won't sniff the HOF".
Those guys know how to take the fun out of everything. Also they're wrong. If Rany thinks Salvy has a real chance that's good enough for me. One more season like last year and I bet he's in. Or 3-5 more pretty good seasons.
I think the twitter slappies would rather just skip the postseason and whoever has the highest WAR at the end of the season wins. They get so bent out of shape when a low payroll team has any postseason success. Joe Sheehan hated seeing the Royals win in 14/15 (although part of that was because we didn't have enough high-strikeout, high-walk homer guys - which was deemed the right way to win). Also see Andrew Miller saying the Rays don't win the "right way". And then all the whining about the wildcard game being "Not fair!". They never whined when it was the As and Royals.
I'd have more respect for them if they just came out and said how they really feel - that the Dodgers, Sox and Yanks
deserve to win more, and teams like the Royals should be happy they even get to play with the big boys.
