I'm only a casual baseball fan, but gotta rep the Royals for what they've accomplished (and will ideally continue to accomplish this week) after 30 years of futility. These guys remind me of Carolina in that their style is against the grain of current trends in the sport, though much more so last year than this year, but the guys have completely bought in and never give up.

Huge game tonight.  KC does not want to give back the two games they won against Harvey and deGrom

The Mets blundered this one away tonight, but they got a bit lucky with that second HR anyway. Difficult to see the Royals losing the next 3, even with the strike zone differences...

The Mets need their big three to sweep the next three.  Unlikely but it is hard to see a team better prepared to do it.  One more win, good luck Royals!

as someone without a horse in this race its pretty hypocritical for royals fans to bitch about being thrown at considering they did that poo all year in the AL Central and threw at Donaldson multiple times and told him to quite whining when he complained about it. can't have it both ways.

Right or wrong, I think fans are more annoyed at the loss than anything - 30 years of losing (plus the Chiefs' decades of playoff futility) has folks starving for a WS win. Had KC won I don't think we'd be hearing much about it at all, so some folks have to grab onto something since they didn't.

Either way, it's 3-1 now and this city is going to explode if they pull it off.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
