Yes! YESSSSSSSSSSS!

That is almost creepy

1980 Royals: 85-47

So, what I'm seeing is this: Historically, when the Royals have been good, they've had a winning record after 132 games!!!!!!

All 6 times in my life (including toddlerhood) LMAO

ROFL

MJ is turning into Moose Part 2. Becoming very similar IMO

Heard this on the radio this morning but MJ's slash line in August is .339/.381/.661/1.042. He's becoming a lot better in the outfield as well. Hope he can maintain that through the rest of the season.

We are 1.5 games ahead of the Twins and they have a higher make playoff percentage than us

Spencer Nivens makes Baseball America's top 20 hot prospect list.

3. Spencer Nivens, OF, Royals

Team: High-A Quad Cities (Midwest)
Age: 22

Why He’s Here: .571/.667/1.333 (12-for-21) 8 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 4 HR, 10 RBIs, 6 BB, 3 SO, 1 SB.

The Scoop: On Aug. 1, Nivens was hitting .184/.287/.296, with six home runs all season and few bright spots. Thankfully for Nivens, his season didn’t end at the start of August. Since then, he’s been the best slugger in the minor leagues. He has 11 home runs this month, raising his OPS nearly 200 points, and he’s hitting .356/.430/.839 in August. Nivens does plenty of damage when he makes contact, but until this month, he wasn’t making enough consistent contact. A great month doesn’t erase what happened in the previous four months, but it does give Nivens an excellent endpoint to try to build on in 2025. (JC)

Ive been keeping tabs on him and was going to mention him soon after watching Caglianones box scores every day. In a league where offense just seems down across the board, hes really coming alive lately (Nivens). Only 22 as well.

MJ's still only 25. He's had a similar profile in some ways in that we expect him to be a guy who hits .250 and mashes homers. People forget Moose was basically our #9 hitter during the 14 WS run because he was just figuring it out.
