--- Quote from: TraceOneInfinite on October 03, 2025, 10:31:57 AM ---I’m impressed that you remember Ian Kennedy and even more impressed that you remember him being moved to the bullpen with the Royals. Only a true MLB fan would know about a move to the bullpen on a team that didn’t even post a winning record 7 or so years ago.
But yeah he ended up being a good closer but it was too little too late because the tragic death of Yardano Ventura meant that he was being asked to fill Yardano’s shoes and keep our team at a championship level for one more year. Royals actually had two more cracks at it with Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer and most the championship roster on 16’ and 17’ — but in 16’ Gordo and Moose collided on a bloop to short left and both were need up on the injured list effectively ending our season and in 17’ the worst trade nobody talks about was Davis for Jorge Soler— Soler his sub .200 the season we needed him and then hit over 40 meaningless bombs (breaking a royals record) in a later rebuilding year.
Just to finish my rant that 17’ season they kept trading again and again pillaging our future and farm system to replace Davis because Jaokim Soria fell apart and every other releiver we tried to get suddenly forgot how to pitch. We still had so much talent that we did compete and it was a fun year but ultimately ended the season several games out of the postseason
And what became of Davis?? He was amazing for the cubs or Rockies or whoever it was he went to that guy was unhittable for like 5 years from 2013 - 2018

Wade Davis was nasty...I remember he went to the Cubs the year after they won and had a good year but then went to the Rockies and struggled for the rest of his career there...that Royal bullpen, really the whole pitching staff was unbelievable in '15...we really lost to the better team

yeah even in his prime Kershaw always struggled in the post season...kind of takes away from his career even though he is a hall of famer
