2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread
2012 Slogan: Our Time
A better, more accurate 2012 Slogan: It is Finally Next Year (from Great Expectations) An alternative slogan if you don't like that one: Someone has to win this crappy division (from alnorth) With the beginning of a new year, it is time for the 2012 version of the Royals Repository Thread. We've got Hosmer, we've got a 2011-dominating Gordon, we've got Moose, we've got hopefully a killer bullpen, we've got a stereotypical slow slugging DH, we've got easily one of the best defensive shortstops in the AL, we've got a promising catcher in Salvador Perez. Hell, we've got offense and promising prospects galore. We do not have starting pitching. Oh yeah, we've also got this: ![]() Get ready for, (as of January 2012 anyway), one of the most confusing puzzles of a baseball season in recent Royals history. Will they suck? Maybe, I don't know. Will we be given a year of 0.500 baseball? Possibly, I don't know. Will they win the division and go to the playoffs for the first time in 27 years? For the first time in a long time, it could happen, I don't know. 92 losses, 92 wins, or anything in between would not surprise a lot of us. Everything goes here except Gameday threads and really big news. If a giant story breaks, the Royals achieve some awesome milestone, or we sign/lose a highly significant player/coach/mascot/whatever, then it might also deserve its own thread. This being Chiefs Planet, please do not clutter the board with new threads about trivial Royals news or you will only annoy those who come here for just Chiefs football. If you aren't sure and its not a Gameday thread, it goes here. What sort of stuff often goes here? SPchief explained it well, so I'll just copy that: Quote:

So I know we just swept the Sox but I am still mad about Gordon. Since being moved back to the third spot he is 3-17 with zero walks. Good job Yost, good effort.

Someone else needs to start the gamethread for today. I had bad luck with a very similar start yesterday.

It feels quite weird to go from hopeless starting pitching to the recent great starts of the last couple of weeks.

Still though, Hoch was amazing tonight, against a tough team. Has to be the best we've seen from him. |

I think Hoch's game against the Reds from a few years ago was better than this. He gave up one run, sure, but it was 80-pitch complete game. You don't see those everyday.

He is turning it around, finally we can count on him starting for us next year.

It really does feel strange. If we could have just gotten a couple of these nice starts a couple times a week all season we would have many more wins.
