Well......I am old. But it was the exact same thing in reverse between 1975 (post Hank Stram) and 1988 (pre Marty Schottenheimer)
The Chiefs were 81-154-1 during those 14 years. That is a 32.5% winning percentage. They were atrocious. During those 14 years they made the playoffs one time and that was as a Wild Card team. And they lost. During those same 14 years the Royals were 1194-1014. That is a 54% winning percentage. They were among the winningest teams in baseball. During those 14 years they made the playoffs 6 times advancing to the American League Championship Series. Twice won the American League and went to the World Series twice and won it once. The point being......both have had their extended up periods and their extended down periods. And both franchises have been essentially equally successful during their respective existences. The goal of both organizations is to extend the peaks and shorten the valleys. But rest assured that over the next 40 years both the Chiefs and the Royals will experience both sides of that coin. Even with the economics of baseball being so ****ed up compared to football! |

The difference in the series, other than Baumgartner being insanely good, was the Royals inability to get on base. They had a .291 OBP vs SF's .340 - that's not good enough. Also, 11 walks for the R's vs 23 for the G's. Not only that, we had been running all over the diamond up to the WS (not as much against the O's, but we didn't need to). In the WS, we accumulated just one SB in 7 games. Shit just caught up to us....

This just goes to show how baseball has changed in the last few years and now even the big money teams hoard prospects.

CBS Sports posted a Mock Draft this morning that has Rocker going to the Royals at #7 overall this year. I recall that you were really high on him, hoping he'd go to the Royals at #1 or 2 in the past draft or so. Did his performance slip due to injury or did other prospects pass him in terms of ability and upside, or is it due to something else entirely? I mean, #7 overall is nothing to sneeze at, especially if he becomes an ace, but it's a bit surprising. |

***Official 2021 Royals Season Repository Thread***
Had you asked people who would be the #1 pick in the 2021 draft following the 2019 CWS, most would have said Kumar Rocker.

Luckily he was every bit that aggressive in Game 4 the following year. |
