Troll post.

So I'm aware that Wilmington is a tough place to hit, and it's still early, but is it normal to see most of our highly touted prospects there putting up blanks almost every game? Having some hope from the minors is the only hope I have, and before the 2014-2015 seasons some of the most enjoyment I've had was following Moustakas, Hosmer, Montgomery, Meyers, Duffy, Cain, etc. in the minors back around 2010.

The sample size is still small enough that a single hit is going to create a .050 swing in batting average.

Have to give it more time before any sort of stat line scouting (which is unreliable anyway).

That’s a tough hitting environment and a tough league to hit in, period. Key is comparing them to what other Royals prospects did there (and at the end of the year).

Hos is off to a great start hitting .222

I want Gore at RF permanently and Whit at second. Owings can ride the bench

The KCStar was kind enough to give him a fluff piece straight outta his slump season fluff pieces he got while he was here.

Hos said he felt this season would be better, when asked why..

“Just a feeling.”

Thanks for all you did, Hos.

Lol Boxberger. Cut that dude tomorrow. Im glad Zimmer had to go down to the minors because he wasn't getting it done, but Boxbergers still here. He's just such a gritty savvy vet.

I have never seen a pitching staff so incapable of holding a lead

to be fair, everyone had been bitching about alshitty for the better part of a decade.

I also wonder why the Royals brought him back...seemed like a perfect time to break it off and start fresh with a new voice.

He's got several million reasons why.

If there was a point, he would have made it by now. He's basically the Rain Man telling us that Jeopardy is at 5 o'clock at this point.

Our outfield defense looked elite with Terrance Gore out there, Seattles was a complete trainwreck, it looked like they had Jorge Soler in every position.

Our outfield is so fast every time I think there's a ball in the gap there's an out.

And we got swept.
