Now that is how you pull off the hit and run.
1st to home.

Yeah if you can get Dyson on base he's a dangerous weapon. Getting him on base has been the trick...

Royals win 3-2 in the 13th. They are in first place in the AL Central.
We may be pieces of shite, but we're winning pieces of shite, damn it.
ETA: Leading the league in wins and in ejections.

Ventura is only part of the problem. MLB network did a nice little quick recap of this season. They covered the hit batters in the Angels and Sox series. After watching that, you can see the table being set for where we are at now. Maybe where Ventura is at now mentally. I don't have a big problem with Ventura. But a little humility would help. Eaton said something to him first. That's all it took. It's getting old watching our batters getting hit and nothing happening to the other team. Not even a warning. Umps better get on their game. Thatcs why a lot of this is going on. They need to start issuing warnings on the first hit batter and eject after that no matter the pitcher.
Last night proved one thing. There is a lot of underlying things going on between the Royals and at least the Sox, Angels and A's. Fasten your seatbelts for the Oakland series.

Samardjia was stiring up the shitpot before Eaton started talking smack to Ventura. Once again the Royals are responding and the media generally only shows the response or result.

Looks like those tPOS Royals could learn a lesson from their cross-state big brothers about how to play the game the right way

I like it. It shows the team cares more than just about money. These Royals are the Pete Rose or Bryce Harper in team form. People hate their all out attitude. I Love it! Keep the edge! Win!

Not sure if you're serious. Those tPOS Royals are for now leading their division. What could we possibly learn from some damn birds? We're winning, what else is there?

Playing the game the right way. Winning with class. Something the Cardinals happen to be famous for.

Ha ha ha! The cards Couldn't handle a season in the American league central. Your bitchy first class fandom would have you crying the first time you lost a player to the DL from a dirty play. We just hit back. It's how we play.
It's just a fact that we did something we were not supposed to do last year and then carried over to this year. If we had our usual season, none of this would make it to the nnews and dissected by retard analysts.
But hey, opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. Ours juts happens to be correct.

Ventura needs to get his shite together. He is hurting the team with his antics, not helping. I am a bit old school when it comes to baseball and how players should act and think the Royals should tone it down a notch. Looks like Hosmer is beginning to see this too.
With saying that, I'm a walking contradiction, these Royals are highly entertaining and you just never know what's going to happen in a given game. The main thing I want to see though, is them to keep winning!!

I'm a little bit in the middle with Ventura. I still think there needs to be some humility in baseball. But then there is this Royals team. I like watching these guys play. It's their antics that are the catalyst for their winning in my opinion. It's who they are. When you go messing with who you are, it tends to take away from something. I don't want to see this team get away from who they are. If that means other teams and fans despise who the Royals are, and other teams want to fight them every game or hit batters, then so be it, as long as we keep winning and his team enjoys the game. Maybe it's not the Royals who need to change. These are young players showing raw emotion.
I think some of this deal with the other teams is they can't stand watching a MLB team they are supposed to be better than, having this much fun and the amount of success they are having. Samarjzia heckling Royals players from the dugout, lawrie spiking Esky, Samarjzia and other pithers hitting batters, and for some reason, Samarjzia picking Cain to single out of a roster of other candidates to go after. Cains one of the most impressionable players in baseball. Why Cain? Then you have Sale coming to the Royals locker room wanting to fight Ventura after the game?
MLB could fix this real easy. Pull the umps to the side. Tell them first hit batter is an automatic warning. Next hit batter or batters are automatic ejection from game and automatic suspension. That's where it starts.

100% true. The Royals use to be that cute little team that someday may have a bright future. Now that future is here and some other teams/players don't like it, don't know how to handle it, and yes, lash out.
Tori Hunter said he kinda understands where the Royals are coming from as he experienced this shite when the Twins started to make their run back in the early 2000's. Sooner or later though, the Royals have to realize they are a better team than the teams they have been fighting with. So why sink down to their level and roll with them in the pig stye. By simply winning they get the last laugh and not getting bogged down with the other teams BS and drama.

It's basically a trap deal. If you don't retaliate, teams view you as soft. If you do reretaliate, teams and the media view you as trouble makers and have little control over their emotions.
What no one wants to talk about is that the Royals are the preverbial sleeping bear and these other teams are poking that bear trying to get a reaction. Well, it took a few games but the bear is up and poking back.
Now the bear, who just wanted to play baseball is being accused of being an out of control team and is anything but. Ventura pitched all last season without incident. Not many Royals batters were being hit either or injured or heckled at by the opposing team.
So here we have two more players suspended for 7 games.Eaton, who instigated thw whole deal walks scott free.

I get what you are saying, but in the long run, it can hurt the Royals from winning, which is what I'm most concerned about. Once it's known the Royals are an easy team to goad and get suspendable reactions out of them, it will continue.
Suspensions and injuries does not help the Royals win. Nothing wrong with defending your teammates, they just need to learn when and how to do that.

I understand.
As I said before, MLB is mostly the root cause and are the only ones who can end this. The method they have taken currently is bullshite. It's the old knee jerk on the surface reaction. Suspend the obvious. What, in anyones estimation did Ventura do that warrented a 7 game suspension? He walked towards Eaton, after Eaton mouthed something to Ventura and Ventura told him to F-off. Eaton was the one who advanced towards Ventura with hostility. So where is Eatons suspension for participation in the shoving match? Two game suspension for Cain for again what? Defending himself against a piece of shite pitcher who was not even in the game? Volasquez a 7 game suspension is understandable. He was the only one I seen throwing haymakers.
I think MLB needs to intervene a little deeper to stop the aggression towards the Royals because sombody somewhere will wind up getting hurt bad. Allowing other teams to punk KC by punishing KC players sticking up for themselves just fuels the fire for other teams to just keep doing what they're doing to us.

Everyone knows a team has a right to defend themselves. The problem with the Royals is they have a tendency to overreact.
1. Ventura heading down the first base line yelling F bombs at Eaton. I understand Eaton started it by lipping something off to him, but Ventura needs to mature and not get goaded into once again reacting.
2. Herrera's pitch at Lawrie after the Royals had already retaliated and made their point. Plus him pointing to the head as if saying, next time I hit you in the head. (Not saying that was his intent but a case could be made).
I think MLB is sending a message to a young, emotional team that you need to learn when and where to retaliate and not be so visual and vocal about it. Just a guess.
The Cain incident I can't explain. The only thing I can think of is the umps saw something Cain did when he was at the bottom of the pile during the brawl, as I couldn't see him until the pulled people apart.
Bottom line is, most Royal fans may think the suspensions on our players and lack of on the opposing players is BS, it appears that's how MLB is going to handle it. In other words, "get your house in order and learn what is acceptable".
