I, as well as most Astros fans, have a LOT of RESPECT for that '15 Royals team. Since we couldn't win the World Series, we were happy that the Royals did. The Astros players will tell you than to a man - and they did when asked. |

The Royals are on the level of ineptitude never seen before. What have they lost, 28 of the last 32? This is fantastic. Lets beat that 04 or 05 Detroit Tiger squad. We can do it.
Trade them all and let this team fry. Get draft picks. Watch Pratto bust. Life is fun |

Sure, Rios and Gordo bounced back in the playoffs, but the fact the Royals won home field advantage despite these injuries is a testament to just how good the 2015 team was. Last edited by Chiefspants; 07-09-2018 at 05:56 PM.. |

Oh yeah, no disrespect to Astros fans at all. The 15 series singlehandedly won me to the Stros bandwagon for the 17 playoffs - ya’ll had so many players worth rooting for and played with an enthusiastic energy that was fun to watch (unlike the Jays, for instance). My needling was meant more for the Reddit and some pockets of the advanced statistic community, who couldn’t fathom how a “contact” team would be able to compete with power hitting squads like Houston and Toronto. |

Personally I'm not complaining at all about the team we had that won it all. I think we got lucky, but I'm fine with that. We deserved some luck. My complaint/concern is that going forward I doubt we can replicate that winning formula in the same way. I think we have some serious shortcomings in our player development, and I'm skeptical about our ability to improve that under the current regime. I hope I'm wrong, but we need to start seeing results.

Glad those who wanted to resign Hosmer are looking like idiots.
He’s not a great hitter and barely above average. Maybe even right at average given his corner power numbers. Pathetic he never learned to adjust. |
