  1. I watched the replay again and checked where they were lined up in the 4th on the pitch before Gallo and I think you're right if it was hit any softer it probably would have been caught in the shift but this is where the hit in the 5th went through. Probably an out in 2022.
  2. The hit in the 4th would probably have been caught last year if the infielders were allowed to stand in the grass. The hit in the 5th went through the hole between first and 2nd where the 3rd infielder on that side would have played last season.
  3. Gallo is loving the shift change
  4. I wouldn't be surprised but I hope that isn't the case. Between Mahle, Gray, Lopez, Maeda and Ryan, Mahle is the one I think will go down first with an injury that causes him to miss significant time.
  5. Agreed. I hated that they dealt him but it's gonna take 30 starts from Mahle for this trade to not be an L.
  6. Hopefully it's more of a precaution than anything major, his bat is one they need in the lineup.
  7. The Royals have been a riddle to me my whole life. I live 45 minutes away from KC so I've seen more Royals games than any other team in my life. At 37, I've seen the Royals make 2 playoff appearances (2014, and 2015) and they went to the World Series both times, and if you want to add 1985, the Royals have went to the World Series the last 3 times they made the playoffs. They've developed quite a few players who became stars and were traded just before they became stars. But their one constant is the lack of pitching. I remember the day Yordano Venture died, the Royals fans around me were devastated, he was the closest thing they had to an ace since the early days of Zach Grienke. I think if this team could have the stars all align circa 2014 they could make a deep run but it would mean most of their top prospects actually pan out again and I just can't see that happening twice in a decade.
  8. Seeing Nick Gordon make an out on the basepaths today feels like deja vu.
  9. I hope you're wrong too. Jorge has some challenges inside of his family that I think affected him more than what he would say last season. A full off-season and spring training in the organization will give his confidence a boost, I hope.
  10. https://www.mlb.com/news/jorge-lopez-pitches-scoreless-inning-vs-red-sox?partnerID=mlbapp-android_article-share I've said since the beginning of the off-season that Jorge Lopez has a solid bounce back. Hopefully his performance yesterday is a sign of things to come.
  11. Whoever between Lopez, Gray, or Ryan that looks better in spring training.
  12. Thielbar is a guy that is easy to root for.
  13. Since last season I've had this fear that this injury will be career threatening.
  14. I forgot about the Willi Castro signing, another Puerto Rican in the system. All together I think it was a good win to start things out.
  15. Good start for the good guys!
  16. Now they have someone who can catch the wind.
  17. Are you saying Kirilloff can play the infield or Polanco?
  18. I think that's correct. Larnach is probably the odd man out.
  19. Let's hope not!
  20. I don't disagree, but it's a strange move to make nonetheless.
  21. Everything I've heard is Jeffers, Taylor, Farmer, and Gordon. Definitely doesn't make any sense but we will see if more comes out in the next 24 hours.
  22. That's the only thing that makes sense. I read this Tweet then the comments and you're right: https://twitter.com/tlschwerz/status/1628177028884070402 Also I wonder who gets dropped from the Opening Day lineup.
