Discussion IF we won 2014, do you think we still win 2015?

13 Upvotes

It feels like so much of 2015 was the team trying to fight to finish what happened in 2014. Do you think the boys are still that hungry to go out and get it if we had won in 2014?

Fold up wagon allowed?

5 Upvotes

Hi all, coming to a game at the K soon. I see fold up strollers are allowed, has anyone brought a fold up wagon? We plan on checking it at guest services (we’ve done that with our stroller before). Just planning on bringing a wagon for this trip to KC and hoping we can use it for the trek from parking!

I’m going to try and be nice about this

44 Upvotes

In the most respectful way possible… can we get Jaylon Thompson off the beat, please. I’m sure he’s a nice dude but the fact he is working full-time for the Kansas City Star as the Royals Beat Writer is an insult to the paying customers. 2 of his 3 questions tonight after the game to Q VERBATIM “Did they call Izzy’s catch a trap and you challenged it?” “Where exactly did the ball hit Maikel when he fouled it off? Was it his toe?”

Tonight is not as frustrating as there wasn’t many questionable decisions I wanted to hear reasoning that went behind them. But all year I’ve listened to him just lob softballs and ask elementary level questions. Part of me thinks maybe Sam Mellinger is behind getting someone in that seat that he can have his thumb on since he is formally of the Star and now runs Communications for the Royals. But it is really frustrating as a fan. This is his 2nd year, I literally thought he was an intern or something. I will give Annie Rogers credit as she has gotten better. I understand there are press credentials at stake. But part of that job is asking tough questions (in a professional way) to hold people accountable.

If Royals lose last game in Tiger series should we be preparing for 2026 instead of October?

0 Upvotes

Short answer: not yet. As of today (Aug 24), the Royals are 66–64—3.0 games back of the final AL Wild Card with ~32 to play. One loss in Detroit would sting, but it wouldn’t flip the season to 2026 prep.

What it likely takes: • Target ~86 wins to snag WC3. From 66–64, that’s roughly 20–12 the rest of the way; if they drop today, it’s about 20–11. Doable, but it demands a hot September. (Math based on current records/pace.) • Models still give KC a real shot (teens-to-20s % range depending on the site), not a miracle-only path.

Bottom line: a loss today doesn’t end it—there’s a path if they play ~.625 ball down the stretch and make up ground on that last WC spot. October is still on the table.

The Royals are 16-29 against the current playoff field. Injuries and underperforming outfielders couldn't happen this season for them to compete for a ring.

With eight more walks today, the Royals have drawn 52 walks in their last 11 games. That is their most walks in *any* 11-game span since 2009.
