This is a .500 ballclub with .500 talent. It's that simple.

Everyone needs to chill out, and accept this fact.

That's what I've said all year. My hope is that they can go on a run and finish enough above .500 to catch the Tigers, or snag a wildcard spot.

I'd still like to see a move that brings a power bat to our lineup...

It has potential to be better thsn that. Most of the guys are well off pace of where you would expect them to be offensively. Aoki , Hos, Butler, Gordon....a huge hole at 3rd that finally got filled.

Agreed, but I think the pitching will drop off, at least to some degree.

It will be on the offense to help balance things out, if and when that happens.

I think the pen holds up and Shieds, Vargas, and Gutherie prettu much are what they are. The key is Ventura and Duffy taking a step up. They are the wildcards.

CoMoChief 05-22-2014 08:18 PM
If somehow the Royals were to make a WC spot. I think Shields and Ventura need to be the 1-2 punch guys on the mound.

Big Cat .... On your band wagon .... we have an upgrade for the moment @ 3rd ..... lets WIN some games and see what happens.... but Jeez have a little faith .... the whole AL is .500

Li'l smokey... Chiefsplanet's very own little diva. Push your skirt back down, chica. If you need attention, you can find it in another thread.

Or a manager. I'm not asking for a Joe Torre type guy. But if we had a manager with even a minimal amount of blood flow to his brain, it's shit would have been nipped long ago.

**** Dayton Moore for allowing this to be a metastatic situation.

As 'penz wrote a few posts back: hit a few HR's, go on a winning streak and all this is forgotten. Until then, stand in there, field the questions, and move on. You know... Be a professional. FF's sake, you're getting paid like one.

This has been discussed before. The Royals have had several power bats over the past few decades.

Bo Jackson, Tartabull, Gaetti, Dean Palmer, Jeff King, Sweeney, Beltran, and even Butler a few years ago.

Even The guys we have now, should be hitting for more power, but for some inexplicable reason they are not.

I still can't see how Hosmer is not hitting 400 foot line shots. He attacks the pitch as hard as any player I've ever seen.

Yep. Cain and Escobar are the only ones that I expect to take a small step back, but the other 7 guys should be taking huge steps foward the rest of the season on offense(including Valencia for Moose). They have grossly under performed on offense while the pitching has basically been what was expected and they are still 500. There is reason to be optimistic.

Except that this is nearly the same offense as last season. And we finished in the bottom of the league in a lot of important offensive categories last season. Why should we believe that will change?

I guess Aoki, Infante, and Valencia can be better than Lough, Getz, and Moose. Hope that's enough.
