Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

I definitely remember the songs for "You've Got a Hit On Your Hands" and "The Thrill of It All" since those years were probably my peak childhood fandom. I also remember the logo for the Thrill of It All season because it was plastered on hundreds of plastic cups that my friends and I would collect at home games for god knows what reason. I'm not going to be able to get those songs out of my head tonight! [Reply]
Rolled the dice on ALCS home game 3 since it’s the only Saturday chance if it’s Cleveland. I’d be screwed on weekdays anyway. Believe my journey will have to stop there or I’ll need a Wolf costume to go forward. Little pricey. [Reply]

Better go out and get some players that can hit the fucking ball. I'm betting Sherman will open up the check book this off-season. At least I hope. [Reply]
Royals are going to be an attractive team for some players in this offseason. Pitchers have to see what the team has done for Lugo, Ragans, and Wacha. Young stud Witt to build around. [Reply]
