I agree.
2003 was a team at its peak with no future. Unfortunately, that peak wasn’t very high. This team is on the ascent with some VERY exciting talent on the way. We don’t have a Beltran, who is on the way out, leading our team.

Metrics on Kauffman Stadium.
Red is high & Blue is low. I knew the K was low in HR’s but the walks & strikeouts surprised me. I knew the K would be high in doubles & triples but singles surprised me.

Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, I remember reading that players around the league, both pitchers and batters, liked Royals Stadium a lot. It would typically do well in annual player votes for favorite places to play. For batters, they felt that they could see the ball well there, given the nice dark background that the clean centerfield wall and grass terrace provided. Maybe that nice background makes it so that batters are more apt to put the ball in play before either striking out or drawing a walk. The size of the foul territory at the K has always seemed like a good balance between the interests of the pitchers and batters, too. That might have something to do with differences from ballpark to ballpark in whether a plate appearance ends in a K or BB versus a ball being put in play. |

It's just insane to think of how shit our drafting of pitchers was when we were going with high school guys. I don't ever give Dayton credit, but I commend him for completely changing his drafting strategy. |

One of the wilder double plays you’ll see and you hope Brady didn’t just **** up his foot.

Feel like a bruise is really dodging a bullet here. That shot off of his foot looked nasty.
