These Royals didn't prove spring training doesnt mean anything. They've done the several years in a row. Spring training is preseason football. It tells you nothing.

Thanks for making my point; feeling good about the Royals because of their record in Spring training is wrong. Why? Because when it comes time for "for keeps" the other teams pitch, hit, catch, and all that other important baseball shit...

This year was never about winning. It's about development. I'll reserve my judgement for the end of the season. Right now we have 2 guys that are looking pretty damn good. It's early, but Witt is striking out less and walking more than last year which is a very good sign. His EV and Hardhit% are also both higher than last year.
I have faith that MJ Melendez is going to go on a tear pretty soon. He has hardhit% of 69% and his EV is 97.3, both of those are substantially higher than league average. He's just gotten super unlucky. If he can get his strikeout% down around where he was last year, then I think he can really do some damage. MJ |

It's not some type of heavily argued debate or even a remotely original thought, because no one ever thought that spring training mattered and it was proven along time ago that it doesn't.

I hope Bally Sports realizes that few people are going to sign-up for this show.

KC Star still has no full time beat writer to cover the Royals?
JFC yes the Royals are bad but a bad look by the KC Star. |

Letting Bubic pitch with a bad arm is a fireable offense.

Yeah, it's nonsense they have seen them in the minor's spring training. They could have made some moves but our ownership is cheap. Not to mention the Yahoos that fed everyone full of bullshit for 5 years that the team was beating the bible on them instead of baseball fundamentals.
