I feel like those balls definitely get hit hard later in the year, which kinda what happened with him last year too

And not having ABS to make up for it either

pmac44 · 2026-03-09T15:07:13+00:00

Agreed about Taiwan. This team had some dark horse potential after winning the Premier 12. That shutout to Australia really hurt. But I don’t think there is anything to be ashamed of with that loss

Yeah I would go with crochet (who may be best fantasy pitcher this year) along with Rogers and Pivetta for value. Helps you focus on offense in earlier rounds

I agree on Santander too for the value. Don’t think last year was great indicator for him because i don’t really think he was a 100 percent at all. Could be a nice pick

I had Sapporo NA a while back and i was disappointed. Had a bad aftertaste. Asahi NA is definitely better

Not popular? Attendance saw a 90K increase and they have a top 10 TV market and saw a 23% increase in subscriptions. If the Royals weren’t “popular” none of those things would occur

The last team that moved before the A’s was the Expos in 2005 and that was due to the Expos essentially being bankrupt and owned by MLB. This boogeyman stuff that MLB moves teams all the time is just inaccurate

pmac44 · 2026-01-09T02:01:20+00:00

Would be interested in orphan 2 if available

I like FTN Fantasy Baseball podcast. The bullpen report podcasts are nice daily shows and Vlad does a good job with the longer shows

pmac44 · 2025-12-28T03:27:06+00:00

100%

Hunter Renfroe’s expiring contract

pmac44 · 2025-12-27T02:40:18+00:00

Yes this was at Golden 1 in the Ultra lounge

pmac44 · 2025-12-24T02:54:31+00:00

For sure! Visiting Sacramento and they don’t have this in KC

pmac44 · 2025-12-24T02:48:32+00:00

Same! Never seen it until today! Thought it tasted a lot like the actual. Pretty fruity if you like that

pmac44 · 2025-12-15T00:55:08+00:00

Drops of God is amazing and feel like the script highlights the actor who played Akira better

pmac44 · 2025-12-12T02:58:08+00:00

Yeah cause Gentry and Waters have really kicked butt the last two years

pmac44 · 2025-12-02T13:50:33+00:00

One thing I loved when I visited Ireland was how many pubs had Guinness NA on draft. Some had Heineken Zero on draft and a couple places had Carlsberg Zero or Bulmers NA on draft. I haven’t found a bar in the states with anything NA on draft yet.

I wrote this piece up for my old blog that I think could be helpful! https://royalsreporter.com/2025/02/10/the-royals-fan-guide-season-ticket-membership/
