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?

And that will translate not one bit to the real season.
Yeah that's why I've just completely stopped paying attention to spring training. There isn't anything more meaningless than spring training stats. I'll watch with Uncle Hud and listen with Denny in a few weeks.
So many seasons the royals also ended with one of the best spring training records as well and ended up losing 90+ [Reply]
Anyone know what's up with the Amazon streaming deal? It's getting pretty close to the season and I have no idea how I'm going to be able to watch them. [Reply]

At Hohokam today to watch… Brady Singer. Not much has changed. Same ‘ol same ‘ol. Gets a three run lead and blows it. Gets pulled for one batter and they bring out for the third, where he gives up three more on a lazy pitch ends up being a no-doubter. He sucks. Maybe he can get to 5 wins if he’s lucky. [Reply]
I'm gonna get a lot of flak and push back, but Bo Jackson was the most overrated player of all time. 4 fairly good seasons and 1 AS game and people talk like he was the greatest ever.
Also I don't care about how athletic he was, because Joey Gathright jumped over a fucking car. [Reply]
