Re: 2014 MLB Thread
Royals look really good. Cain is having a great post season. Seems that someone new steps up for them each game. LOVED seeing the Giants get man handled by Bumgarner last night.

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
Royals remind me of a certain 2005 team:D They are firing on all cylinders.
Cards/Giants game was pretty boring last night. That series better get more interesting. |

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
What's the consensus on Max Scherzer? Do the Tigers have room to sign him? I think they probably can but I'm not sure they do. They need to work out something with Price to avoid arbitration, and they also need*(at least I think so) to sign VMart. You look at their rotation without Max and you wonder if it's really necessary for them to offer a lucrative multi year contract to him. I guess what I'm saying is: Max sign with the White Sox!! :r

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
I can see the Sox part of the equation, just the wrong color :)

I have heard the VMart wants 3 years and it is a possibility the Tigers won't give him that. I think the Tigers will be making a mistake if they let him go, Cabrera is going to take a lot of walks if VMart isn't following him. |
Re: 2014 MLB Thread
I'm not really up to date in baseball, but have been a Cards fan my whole life.
I had the pleasure of going to Cards games in the latter 1960's when I was "ahem" slightly younger. I got to see Roger Maris play in the last cpl years of his career...he was impressive, even in the twilight of his years in baseball...I watched him look like he was crawling up the right field wall on his shoulder blades to catch a fly ball. Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Julian Javier, Dal Maxvill, etc. What a great team! I told someone once that I used to listen to Cards games on the radio when I was a kid & the announcer was a really colorful, & possibly, slightly inebriated guy & he was very entertaining. He said, "Who? Jack Buck?" I said, "No." "Harry Carey?" "Nope." "Who then?" "Dizzy Dean!" I replied. He laughed & said you don't look quite that old Alan. To the Royals fans...my apologies, but the Royals did not exist back then & the A's sucked before they went to Oakland. To sum up my perhaps boring rant...Here's to another I-70 series. |

2 teams that just don't know how to lose. This is going to be a tremendous series. One of the best postseasons in recent memory, thus far! :tu |

Re: 2014 MLB Thread
This Royals team is on fire!
They scratch and claw their way through every game. Plus, it's hard to mount a comeback when they catch everything. Balls that have no business being caught die in their gloves for outs. Before this series, I had heard of Hosmer and Moustakas, but Slavador Perez is the best young player I've ever seen play that I've never heard of before. He's not hitting but you can clearly see what an asset he is. Starting to hear a lot of chirping about destiny with this team, but I'm not ready to jump on that bandwagon just yet. Both the Giants and Cards know how to win in October, and both bring a ton of Postseason experience to the table. In fact, you have to go back to the 09 Phillies before you find an NL team in the World Series that wasn't the Giants or Cardinals. 5 years! Giants seem to have Lady Luck on their side. They win the Divisional series on a wild pitch, tie game 2 of the NLCS on a wild pitch in the ninth, and win game 3 on an error. Crazy how the ball bounces for them. NLCS has the look and feel of a 7 game series. Sorry to say the ALCS doesn't get back to Baltimore. :2 |
Re: 2014 MLB Thread
Agreed on Perez, Dom, if the kid ver gets the bat going he'll be an All Star.
Think I am on that KC bandwagon, until April 2015 anyway. :r |
Re: 2014 MLB Thread
KC third base coach is a hometown boy that has spent the past 30 years in all parts of the Royals system. Fun to see him finally get a team making some serious noise. :tu

I am OK if the Tigers let Max walk as long as they spend the money they offered him ($20-25 million) on other upgrades like CF, Catcher, RF, and most of all the BULLPEN!!!! |
