I don't think it's wrong to not want to fund a stadium. I sure wouldn't if it was my tax money unless it was the Chiefs. I just don't understand why people are offended that someone would try to use all the leverage they have to advance the value of their organization. As an owner, you SHOULD do that. I also think it's hilarious the mayor is basically dunking on Sherman. It's a give and take type of thing. Negotiation.

I have never harmed a human being. Also, one time I put like a dollar in one of the jars for some poor person. It was at a gas station. Oh, and I adopted some kid in a 3rd world country when I was in college. He was my penpal. They sent me his picture and everything.

In reality it's nothing but a ****ing grift that billion owners with their franchises valued in the high hundreds of millions of even billions think tax payers should foot the bill to increase their profits..it's a grift that worked forever. Just in recent times people are coming around to the bullshit that it is so team owners are all upset and want to move teams.

Seriously public funds for private profit is a grift.

I have a feeling our situation could play out like Oakland part two
sure you can repackage it but in the end its still about product

Sassy Squatch 06-15-2023 05:07 PM
Will they even have leverage to threaten to relocate? As of now I e seen 5 possible expansion sites bandied about. Memphis, Charlotte, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Montreal. You can cross at least 2 of those markets off the list anyway and none of them would increase the value of the Royals day one like the As moving from Oakland to Vegas.

poolboy 06-15-2023 05:13 PM
Yeah, Vegas aint having it either, so far

Sassy Squatch 06-15-2023 05:15 PM
I think they finally did agree to some sort of deal, although it's not nearly as lucrative as the As and MLB hoped.

Chiefs are letting the Royals take all the heat but it will be the same vote for both of them getting money for stadiums for each.

The Chiefs are actually good, it's alot easier to get people to back your vote when you're a premier franchise with a superstar..the Royals are trash asking for it.

You also have never lived in a rural area if you think it's cheaper, especially now. In the city you have all kinds of options, but where I live the nearest grocery store is 15 miles away and that place is much more expensive than Walmart or a large grocery store chain. Housing used to be fairly cheap, but now houses that used to go for $40k are selling for over $100k.

If you have a large service provider for your cell service you can pretty much get your phone for free and only have to pay your monthly payment for cell service. You can't find a decent low mileage family vehicle for less than $10k. You seem to have this boomer type of thinking that people can't afford anything because they have Netflix and all of these different things you don't need, but that's not even remotely close to the reason why people can't afford things.

You're ignorant as shit and pretty much a literal tard.

Pasquantino out for the season for shoulder surgery. It's fairly likely his best baseball is already behind him.

On the bright side, I brought up his chronic shoulder as a big cause for concern here in the Royals thread (more 2022 than 2023 but I've got posts in both on the topic) and got downvoted. So as big of an L as this is for the Royals, I actually end up looking pretty big time.

Please see the following fangraphs article for the reason why shoulder reconstructions in baseball are rarely ever overcome.

https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/fernan...der-surgeries/

Couple excerpts:

Quote:
Why is surgery on the glenoid labrum still so difficult, even after a decade of medical advances and no shortage of pitchers to practice on? Simply put, the shoulder is more complex than something like the elbow. The elbow is a hinge and does more or less one thing in one way.

The shoulder does many more things and is put together with a seemingly endless network of muscles, ligaments, tendons, capsules, nerves and fascia. Dr. Neal ElAttrache once compared fixing a shoulder to trying to put together a puzzle without the box top.
In their data, out of the 13 players to have a labrum-related shoulder surgery the writer could find, all but two had their wrc+ drop after it by a median amount of -20. So that means they were 20% worse after the surgery. For those to have non-labrum related shoulder surgery, the median drop in wrc+ was even worse at -37. Not many players can get 37% worse compared to average and still have a baseball career left.

The fact that this would only be an extension of the previous tax should make it a bit easier to get approval. The only thing I don't understand is if they only need to extend a tax and not add any more to build a new downtown ball park and a district around it, then wtf has that previous sales tax been paying for? Has someone just been pocketing that money?

The only good player in the Royals organization is out for the season for labrum reconstruction surgery, which is almost always a career ending surgery. Only one poster in this whole thread even mentioned it and it was an Angels fan.

I don't think the Royals have the fanbase to vote yes for the new stadium. This is but one of my pieces of evidence; call it exhibit K. But it'll be approved anyway. Not like there are a lot of A's fans in Las Vegas getting pumped for their own new stadium.

At least the A's have Brent Rooker. The Royals have never had a player like that. Oh wait. The A's got him from KC.

No one cares because they suck so bad they could literally trade the entire team and not be much worse.

They are literally at burn it down phase, like they should legit ask the Dodgers if they can flip them Barlow and Witt Jr for some high end prospects.

Josh Jung had labrum surgery last year and he's been back this year for the Rangers and is a key power bat on a 1st place team.

the royals have a fanbase, but it's hard to expect people to care when you have a team losing 100+ games several years in a row. put a decent product on the field and they would have more support.

i can't think of a worse deal in sports than paying out of your ass to go to kauffman and watch the royals lose 7-1 in a 2 hour game. and no one is gonna subscribe to ****ing bally sports to watch this hopeless dreck either.

again, you gotta give people some reason to care.

The Royals would do well if they were just a 500 in the playoff race most of the year team...this is possibly the worst team in franchise history...

They'd be fine if they would finish a couple games under .500. Hell, this city would be excited as hell if they could have managed a 79-83 season, but noooooooo. They have to completely shit the bed to the point that they are 33 games below .500 and they haven't even played their 70th game. ****ing 18-51 is beyond pathetic. I think most AAA teams could put up a better record than that and AA teams could probably do just as well. It's pathetic.

O’Hearn - .315/.363/.603, 163 wRC+ - 26 games, .360 BABIP - This absolutely won't last if he starts getting more playing time

Rivera - .333/.363/.436, 117 wRC+ - 36 games, .388 BABIP - Same as O'Turd.

Rooker - .266/.368/.517, 149 wRC+ - This one kinda sucks, especially since he never got a chance in the majors and he raked in the minors. Didn't keep him because of our weird shit that we were doing with O'Turd.

Lovelady - .157 OBA, 1.05 WHIP - This one really made me mad, but would ya look at that. He's hurt again and on the 15 day IL

Speier - 2.28 ERA, 22.1 K-BB% - Not sure why we ever optioned him either. The kid was always good in the majors, but last year he did have a 13.99 ERA in 31 games between AA and AAA.

Payamps - 3.95 ERA, 26.2 K% - Literally have no clue why we DFA'd him. He had a 3.16 ERA with us. Had a really shitty WHIP, though.

Abreu - 3.45 ERA, .198 OBA - who?

Witt is having a strange year. If you are looking for a silver lining in the season is that he has improved every month and is hitting over .320 this month. The problem is his slugging has completely disappeared and has actually gone down this month despite hitting .320 which is hard to do.

Jordan Lyles is not here to win baseball games. Never was.

You have a guy who could be a super star if he keeps improving, a possible Ace who if he also keeps developing would be our first home grown guy in forever, the ultimate analytics hero in Vinny P who has all sorts of interesting statistical comparisons, and a bunch of guys like Melendez, waters, and Massey who are all going to play and all have some upside as well.
We all still excited boys?

lol

Before the season started, I thought this would be a 65-70 win type team. I wasn't expecting much from them because of our lack of pitching and no depth in the lineup. BUT...I never expected this to be an epic shit show like it has been. They are currently on pace to lose nearly 120 games this season. The R's record for season losses is 106. They are going to have to play at a +.420 clip over the last 90 games of the season to miss that "record".

#28 in OPS, #28 in ERA

#29 ranked farm system!

Soon, some of the blame has to be shared with the new regime, but holy shit was Dayton Moore terrible at his job. Unbelievably bad.

All of the above may be true, but Dayton assembled a team of good men, and that is the ultimate reward.

How soon until the new regime deserves blame? Unfortunately, I think it will take quite awhile for it to be fair to blame the new regime. Given this will be the first draft without Moore, and there is little to build upon in the organization, I don't see much chance for this regime to show improvement in the next 3 years. I would not mind if Sherman cleans house before then, but I wouldn't expect the team to be any sort of competitive in the next 3 years no matter who is leading the way.

I think the farm system will take a jump up in ratings is what the chatter is on Twitter.

This is not a "new regime"

Piccollo was promoted and they hired a new Manager and pitching coach..people like Lonnie Goldberg are still out there. They didn't clean house in the front office, it's the same regime with a promoted underling.

Jorge Soler has a .923 OPS this year.

Go Royals!

And I would argue he wasn't really promoted. He was the GM when Dayton got fired and is still the GM today.

I'm sure Moore still made most of the decisions but you don't promote a dude who was with Moore for 20 years an expect radical change. That's why the new regime talk is laughable.

Also find it questionable why a person who was in the front office along with someone supposedly as well-respected as Dayton Moore as long as he was never got a shot elsewhere
