>>68011488
I'm not cut out for that kind of responsibility.
Swelmet
>>68011515
They literally do. Wright carries around and extra sized glove for his catchers to use that gives them typically 2-3 inches more in overall reach.
It's just a stupidly difficult pitch to catch. Thing's a fucking whiffleball and it comes in like a rock.

Jesus christ this all star voting. I really hate how it's gotten popular to go "meme this" and "meme that" all the time on 4chan until it doesn't mean anything any more. But holy shit. If there were ever a meme team, the Royals are it.
>>68011756
Which field is the worst? Rays?
>world's biggest flooded living room
>>68011833
Thing is, the royals take pride in that. Most teams would absolutely hate it, but meme magic is real to them. .

I think you mean the White Sox or Blue Jays
>>68011880

ok so I need predictions.
who is going to get jose fernandez at the end of the season and what shit are the marlisn to get for him? I am not saying he is shit but we all know that he is getting traded for pieces
>>68011901
Anon. There's other qualities to a meme team besides what happened with the Jays, and Sox.
The fact of the matter is, almost everything the royals do is meme magic, meme related. Not entirely a bad thing,
Look at this come back, completely memes. Probably 99% fueled by the salvador perez injury, the royals couldn't lose that game after that, not for their beloved team mascot.
>>68011901
Ok. If there were ever a meme FAN BASE, the Royals have it.
>>68011938
yankees or red sox
>>68011938
hes got 3 more arb years why would they trade him now
red sox, dodgers, and probably yankees will all be in for him
>>68011985
How will he fare in the AL?
>>68011983
That would be White Sox or Red Sox. Throw in Dodgers or Blue Jays as well.
Royals just seem happy that their team's doing well. A meme fanbase is literally a joke.
White Sox fans are notorious crybabies who shame all positive thinking fans as "bandwagonners"
Red Sox fans spam REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE after every pitcher allows 5 ER
Dodgers fans are DG and DG incarnates
Blue Jays fans are fucking leafs, say no more.

What makes the royals a meme team isn't the fact they're happy their team is doing well, it's how the fans show it, and even the way they play baseball. It's hilariously great.
>>68012018
And kansas city fans are content with just existing. But the royals are basically the GS Warriors of baseball so the memes have beeb hot lately

Not what I wanted either but he's injury prone as it is, there's too much risk in trusting him too much.
I'm the one who wanted Karns traded after Spring Training, look where he is now? Might even be our best pitcher right now.
>>68012711
Oh it looks like that Twitter post was deleted.
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised.
>>68012222
DG is laying it down.
You pilates defenders gonna pick it up???
>>68012711
You don't want to trust having SP depth for Karns who almost certainly won't be pitching 200 innings, or Walker who probably won't be either?
>>68012598
You happened to respond to a Red Sox fan.
Most of us are pissed at Henry/Werner/Lucchino for running him out of town.
At the time, we were just coming off the worst fucking collapse in history literally ever, so we were all pretty pissed. But once things calmed, people have gotten really upset that Theo was basically kicked out/fired by the upper management here.
it came down to an ultimatum for the Ownership group to choose between Lucchino and Epstein as for who would have controlling power of the team
Lucchino won out I suppose, the slick lawyer bastard.
Larry and Theo hated each other, always did over the years and they always disagreed on shit, so that was the last straw for Theo.
I don't blame him for leaving. He's the only reason I don't hate the cubs tbqh with you Joe.
>>68012752
There's the trade deadline for that.
>>68012780
Trading Paxton for anything other than another SP would be fucking moronic

>But this season, Ichiro has flipped that narrative on its head. Instead of continuing his depressing slide into the abyss, he’s currently hitting .385, rarely striking out, drawing walks at a greater rate than ever and generally spraying line drives all over the field. According to FanGraphs, he already has more WAR this season (0.7) than in his previous two combined (-0.3). In fact, he’s on pace (for whatever that’s worth) to finish with one of the best twilight-of-career-with-a-weird-team seasons in major league history.

That article was written on May 25th, he was batting .385 after May 24th's game. It's dropped down to .313 since then.
