*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Seems like that’s exactly who the jays are. A team of dummies dying to give the game away.

And the royals aren't playing nearly as well as they were earlier in the month, yet still winning.

But tell us more about who's a fraud.

Please don't argue with KC Connection. Anyone who posts regularly in KU threads knows what a sad sack dumbass he is. Basically a real-life version of Debbie Downer

the draft means less when the royals are kicking ass

Rain out today?

It worked for us in the playoffs 9/10 years ago. Looks like it is still working for us. The bluejays haven’t valued defense enough for a while now.

The Royals attendance numbers so far this year are bad

they need a new stadium, because apparently winning isn't getting it done.

A lot of people don't have money for sporting events and if they do they don't have it for all of them and frankly most people will pick the Chiefs over the Royals.

[RockChalk]

A number of factors, including what Mecca said above.

Weather hasn't been great (other than a few home games), school is still in session, people are pissed at Sherman, etc.

I think numbers will start to rise in May if the team is still playing average to above-average ball.

[BWillie]

As long as we got a AAA team I wouldn't even be that upset if we lost the Royals. Baseball isn't about winning. Its about having somewhere to go to eat hot dogs and drink blvd in the summer. Nobody really even watches the game anyway.
