Am I the only one who thinks India is WAY over rated and seriously underperforming? The Reds must have breathed a heavy sigh of relief when they unloaded him. He has been a big nothing burger.
Personally, I am happy that they finally dumped Singer, so anything positive they get from India is a bonus. He just needs to level out his swing, keep the ball out of the air so much.
He may not be meeting expectations, but he's done well enough as the leadoff hitter. I also don't think the Royals did him any favors early by putting him in the outfield. I'll wait for the full season to render any judgement, but if the Royals leave him at second, I expect a better second half.
I think a lot of people are down on India, but he is playing as historically advertised. His slugging is down, but that was expected playing at the K vs one of the shortest porches in the mlb. He is getting on base, 4th best just a hair behind Vinnie, which is why they got him. I have a hard time watching when a ball gets hit his way, but his defense was his knock coming in.
We did the public transportation which was really simple. A bit of a hike to get to the station to the yard and back, but not too bad.
Cameron can be a poor man's Buehrle...He does work fast, has a lower-than-average strikeout rate and limits the walks. Just need to get 200+ innings from him in a full season. Or whatever the 2025 equivalent is.
I am also surprisingly impressed with Jac in RF. He tracks down the balls pretty well, that stride gets him there at a decent clip and love to watch that arm.
I'm a big fan of Coors Field, though I've never seen their fireworks show. However, I did catch the fireworks in Cleveland last season, and it sounds like a similar production. The fireworks at the K are great, but compared to the intensity of the show I saw after the Guardians game, being in Cleveland felt like getting caught in a warzone.
I was there last year for the fireworks when the Royals played the Rockies. The show is a complete sensory experience with great sound and stuff blowing up all around. They do it right

Agree on Singer. And the trade overall. I still think the Royals will come out ahead on this.

Coors is an excellent park. I went there a couple of years ago, but the parking, and walk to the parking is atrocious.
Cameron reminds me of Mark Buehrle. What do you think?

Gotta admit, Cameron made me nervous in the first three. He looked like he was seriously struggling with all his pitches.
Then Pham the Sham's bridge shot caused my stomach to fall a bit, until Cam regained full command in the fourth and dominated from there.
A keep-the-line-moving Royals third mos def helped. With the top trio heating up, hope is back.
I see Loftin appearing more confident at the plate now that they FINALLY sent Waters a-packin'.
Boy if he could just be an average producer as a constant in the lineup. Rave looks like he's a little more hitterish as well.
Jac is impressive with the glove. At least there's that.
The third looked like it could be dangerous, but that curve had the Pirates flailing. What a pitch last night.
Hope is definitely back if the top half of the lineup can get on a roll. Somewhat. I think the hole the offense dug is far too deep.
I have been pleasantly surprised with Jac's glove. Absolutely befuddled by what the Royals think is being accomplished at the plate.

Warzone is probably an apt description. They were literally going off all around us. Crazy impressive.

I just keep thinking Noah Cameron can't keep doing this... But he keeps doing it.
At what point will we be forced to admit he might be closer to the top than the middle of the rotation?
A .199 BABIP against and 84% strand rate say proceed with extreme caution. No matter how foolish he made Pittsburgh hitters look.
