Looks pretty good but I'm not going to spend two hours on it at this moment. Players at his caliber i'm learning are very divisive. You either love a guy (or gal) that wins at that level and consistency, or you start to despise them. Getting to know them more away from the field I think helps people understand there are some good people behind most of these players. That's kind of what I really liked about the Netflix quarterback series.

I think part of it is also the small market team he plays on. There's a reason it's called flyover country. The media markets on the coasts aren't going to give near as much time to teams or players outside their own market. And the royals, before this win streak were on pace for a historically bad record.

You have to admit, that's a pretty amazing feat. You can't just expect a 23 year old to step in and be the best player in the game. But it's still possible for him to end up being the best player in the game at some point in his career.

keep underwhelming son

I had a dream last night that made me think of this thread. I was out of town for business in Chicago, my hotel room was a corner room with glass walls all around and funky azz looking 70s decor for some reason. I heard commotion outside, see an idiot flailing a semi-automatic weapon around, then a police officer using my glass window for cover, pops around the corner and caps the dudes azz and takes him out. I didn't feel like I had anywhere to cover with glass walls against a semi-automatic weapon. And then thought to myself, in my dream "this story is greta for the meanwhile in Chicago thread "

I don't know that anyone is arguing with you on the point, but for us fans of the team we're still optimistic that it's just taking him time to get adjusted and will end being as was advertised by the time his career is over. Personally, I'm always the eternal optimist. So I'm still hopeful we end up with the most recognizable athlete in both of the top two major sports leagues in the world right here in KC for the next decade. There is still a chance.

Just cutting and pasting something I found on a Chiefs site, from a guy that really seems to know his baseball, scouting and player development:

I get no one really cares about college basketball in august except people like me and TarHole (is he even alive?), but it's possible this KU team could be playing against Klay Thompson and Deandre Ayton in one of the two games they have left down in Puerto Rico. With a team that turned over about 80% of the roster and is still likely pre-season #1, you can't ask for better pre-season experience and it's fun to see them potentially compete against NBA all-star level talent.

Over the past week, Witt Jr. is 15/27 with 7 runs, 2 doubles, a triple, 3 HR, 13 RBI, 2 SB and a BB. And no defensive errors. If that's underwhelming, I'll take underwhelming all day long.

another year another reason to think you can win a natty

He just turned 23, and only spent 161 games in the minors and was setback initially with covid. He's on a Royals record setting pace with home runs and stolen bases and playing a premiere defensive position very well. I'd say he is working out just fine at this point. It's the rest of the team that's azz.

Salvy? Bobby witt?

Nice update kilroy go chiefs. 0-1 lions sorry son.

It's their year (per usual)

Wrong burt

I'd rather talk about curly hair than all these political posts flooding the bored. And I'm bald.

Mets and Rangers have a deal for Max Scherzer, IF Scherzer waived his no-trade clause.

13 minutes ago a friend who works for espn posted "Big baseball trade coming? Stay tuned..."
