bawfuls posted:The Royals made the World Series in consecutive years but otherwise haven't been to the post season for 30 years and spent most of that time well below .500 That team was the result of years of drafting, a few good trades and getting incredibly lucky that every reliever they signed had career years at the same time. The success wasn't that sudden (over .500 in 2013 and a great minor league system in 2011-2012). The surprise is how quickly it all went to poo poo. Ventura not being able to drive in the DR didn't help.

Sydin posted:Ah I was wondering why I suddenly started twitching in the middle of my last meeting. The Royals front office made a ton of mistakes after 2015 but resisting the urge to shovel money at Hosmer after 2017 is one of their few good decisions. Thanks for 2015 Eric now gently caress off forever.

Red posted:Piniella and Hargrove are two of the most "Those guys played baseball? Professionally?" guys ever. Seitzer was so good his first few years with the Royals. I was convinced he was another George Brett. He wasn't but 28 bWAR is not bad. And Pinella won a probably-not-deserved ROY for the first year Royals team before getting traded for a 38 year old Lindy McDaniel for reasons that probably made sense at the time. Maybe you just hate young Royals players.

Tatsuta Age posted:If your team is in the world series and it won't put you in the poor house please find a way to go. Like others have said it might not happen again anytime soon and you'll be so mad if you miss the chance overthinking it! I spent ~$725 for an upper deck ticket at Kauffman to Game 2 of the World Series in 2015 and it was worth every penny. It helps that the Royals like to take 30 year breaks between competitive windows. Gives me plenty of time to save up.

Sydin posted:Still wild to me that Bumgarner was like a consistent top 10 pitcher in MLB and then derailed his own career because he figured it would be a smart idea to go dirt biking in-between starts and crashed directly onto his pitching shoulder. His career implosion is payment for the deal he made with the devil that made him unhittable in the 2014 World Series.
