MLB 2025 Official Thread: OPENING DAY
« on: February 25, 2025, 03:15:46 AM »
The birds are chirping and the gloves are popping and it’s the sounds of another beautiful spring is here!!

For Royals fans what is more exciting than actually being able to legitimately believe in your team!   We are a playoff team.  We won a freaking playoff game in New York against the Yankees last Fall!  The Royals are legit.

Sure… it could all end up being that last year was a fluke.  But I’m gonna enjoy this Spring and keep enjoying till the Royals go 5 under .500.  As long as they stay in striking distance it’s going to be a fun year.  We have some really great players…

Great

Bobby Wit - 2025 MVP
Cole Ragans - 2025 CY Young
Seth Lugo - All Star 2024
Michael Wacha - da man 👨!!
Vinny Paz - RBI machine
Sal Perez - future Hall of Famer
Erceq — bad ass closer

That’s enough to carry us to a good season

yeah the Royals are stacked....they look like legit World Series contenders...I wouldn't be afraid of the Yankees this year though, they look like they will take a step back without Soto

I think my Mets are legit too but I'm worried about our pitching staff and of course the Dodgers

dodgers repeat 8)

anything can happen in the playoffs but they are so deep that even if half the team gets injured they got capable bench players to take over

Yo.. Higheyecue and other MLB fans at the forum, how was your opening day?  Here's the notes from KC:

- Opening Day loss to Royals biggest rival and division champ Cleveland Indians at home in extra innings.

-  Royals lose because our shittiest player, Kyle Isabel, gets himself caught in a run-down late in the game base running error.

- Royals struggle to generate any offense, just like last year.  Nearly all the Royals offense is generated from the 2 and 3 hole which is Witt and Vinnie Paz.  Triple AAA level player Kyle Isabel gets himself caught in a run down ending our potential big inning with Witt coming to the plate and Vinnie Paz on Deck. 

-  Bobby Witt still doesn't look like the MVP Bobby Witt from last year.  He got hit by a pitch late in the season, and he hasn't really been the same since.

-  The best news of the day was Vinnie Paz.  Witt is the Michael Jordan of the Royals, but Vinnie is Scottie Pippen.  Vinnie got injured at the end of last year, and there were a lot of questions about whether or not he would make a successful return.  He provided ALL the offense for the Royals on Opening Day, hitting a 3 run homer and a double in 9th inning that led to the game tying score.

I should be mad because the Royals lost, but we went toe to toe with the division champs, and Vinnie Paz had a great day, so it was still fun.

the Mets didn't score up until the 9th inning when they got a measly sac fly

Soto came up with 2 runners on with the Mets down 3-1 in the 9th and struck out pretty badly on a 3-2 pitch

Royals will be ok

I think they will hit enough with that pitching staff

the postseason is where they really have an advantage with Ragans, Wacha and of course the ex-Met legend Lugo

Mets went down with Soto at the plate.  At least they went down with their best guy at the dish and a chance to tie or win. Got to tip the cap and move on to the next 161.

Royals traded away a legit starter Brady Singer in the offseason for this average at best leadoff hitter Jonathon India.  They were so desperate to have a guy hit leadoff before Witt that they traded away a proven starter.  Plus, whether or not our top guys in the rotation can duplicate last years success remains to be seen.  They still got to go out and do it.  Hope you are right.

yeah.. baseball's so up and down.  It's hard not to get excited about opening day, then they always have the off day the day after so if your team loses you're like, "we suck, we will never win and go 0-162."  Then, game two Soto hits a homerun and all is well. 

Same happened in KC I spent two days talking shit on the Jonathon India trade to anybody that would listen saying the guy can't hit the broad side of the barn.  Game two he comes and gets hits in his first two at bats, a walk, and scores two runs, just like a prototypical lead-off hitter is supposed to do.  Exactly what we wanted in the trade.

yeah you're absolutely right

India is a hard nosed player, I remember him always doing good against the Mets...the only thing he is a little injury prone if he can stay healthy he will get on base a lot for you guys

Aren’t the A’s just tanking again on purpose?  It’s funny how like half the teams in MLB these days are trying to tank so really for a team like the Royals that’s actually trying to compete we don’t even have to be that good.  Because most of the league isn’t even trying.

the question is why are they tanking?

the MLB draft is much more of a wildcard than the NBA or NFL draft

unless there is a sure thing prospect coming out of college like a Paul Skenes you are taking your chances with a kid coming out of high school who might not amount to anything
