That's one H back. The way D the other H pitched last year, they should be available soon if Dayton wants to try for a reunion.

You guys are really reuniting Matheny with Holland and Rosenthal?

Fellas, that went REAL poorly last time...

Looks like a Nordstroms. No thanks

Think you mean Jackson County. Truman Sports Complex resides in KCMO only thing Independence had to do with it is Jackson County.

"On the website, KansasCityLovesTheRoyals.com, the firm behind the rendering said that while no on asked for their opinions on building a new facility, they worked with a “group of like minded Kansas City based business owners” to create a vision for the boys in blue that put the team downtown."

And no one will after seeing that. No fountains, no crown scoreboard...
That's the worst stadium concept I've ever seen.

Can we bring back Kyle Davies too?

God damn it. This is my 4th post on this thread. I'm trying to not be a baseball fan this season. I hope I can persevere.

exhibit A and exhibit B of why its dumb.


those are just 2 of the most important features of the K......

This is an... idea. Definitely a lot of heat on Manfred tonight on social media.

Yeah that’s ****ing ridiculous.

Bud Selig was a dunce. Manfred says hold my beer.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">No idea who made this new playoff format proposal, but Rob is responsible for releasing it, so I’ll direct this to you, Rob Manfred.

Anyone care to share reasons for optimism this year?

I've really tuned out of Royals baseball since the 2016 season. I'd like to get back into it.

The biggest point for optimism is we have a group of stud pitchers in the minors and we'll probably start seeing some of them this year. There's a chance one of them could end up in the rotation early in the season if they blow up Spring Training.

Salvy being back helps the lineup a bit. Expect Lopez to continue getting exposed so they can move Whit back to second where he belongs (needs to be flipped at the deadline). Then Bubba can prove once and for all he isn't nearly good enough, Phillips too, and Ohearn. So basically a year to cut bait with some bad position players, see a couple of the pitching prospects in the second half, and lose 90 to 95. Oh boy

im still in on phillips....if you spend 1bill on a team , you better buy some players or move the franchise
