Serious question: Will the Royals lose a game in the playoffs this yeaR?

They'll be underdogs to the NL team in the World Series assuming they dont collapse and let Baltimore back in the series

One big advantage for the O's or Royals is they get home field advantage.
If the Giants win the NLCS whoever they play better figure out Bumgarner this post season. Even in the loss to the Nats he was good.

I know the Giants and Cards have experience but other than that idk why Royals or the Os would be underdogs. I think both are better all around teams.

Well, the Giants have won like 10 of 11 or 11 of 12 of their past postseason games. I'm not 100% sure the Cardinals would be favored but the Giants certainly would be.

Fangraphs actually has the Royals as the favorite to win the WS at this point.

That's right Dyson, keep talking:

Royals are 26-9 in their last 35 road games (.743 win %)...that's about as locked in as you can get.

A sign of a great troll when he gets under the skin of other fans.

More like a dumb troll. When the O's comeback, you KC fans can thank a player that doesnt contribute for firing up the O's.

He is kinda right though.

Yes, 3 WAR players off the bench don't contribute.

Anyways, I am not planning on talking trash and ruffling feathers, so let's try to keep this reasonably civil from here on out. Should be a good series either way.

Dyson is one of the best base runners/base stealers in baseball, plays good defense, and gets on base at a respectable rate. I'd love to have him on my team's bench.

Most teams would be happy to start him in CF, straight up. Would need to find someone to hit Lefties for him, but besides that, he is a very nice player to have. Such a luxury to have arguably the 3 best defensive OF'ers in baseball in the same OF when the OF is Gordon (LF) Dyson (CF) and Cain (RF).


(Like Billy Hamilton, but older)
