What A Depressing Offseason
The caveats are caveats, but they do exist. Mike Moustakas is not a superstar, for reasons that are easy enough to identify. He has mostly been a decent defender at an important position, but his defense was unexpectedly and undeniably poor last year; he is a good hitter with real power, but not an ...
Mike Moustakas Will Return To The Royals For Less Than Half Of The Qualifying Offer Value

Bearded Royals Fan Robs Homer, Umpires Uphold It
It’s getting to be about Steve Bartman time in the MLB playoffs. That infamous robbery happened in Game 6 of the NLCS, and in tonight’s ALCS Game 6, another home run theft took place.

Mike Moustakas Catches Woman's Face Instead Of Foul Ball
One of the best things about baseball is that fans sit precisely zero feet away from the field. It's not great because fans get to watch the action from up close (though that's pretty cool too), but because fans get to be part of the action. That's what happened to this poor Indians fan in Wednesday...
Mike Moustakas Demonstrates Proper Tackling Technique On Prince Fielder
Prince Fielder managed to touch first base just before Mike Moustakas could get there, but Fielder's momentum put him right in Moustakas's way, which led to a collision that reportedly shook I-70. Moustakas hung on for dear life as he tumbled, but his eventual takedown of Fielder was right out of th...
MLB Pitcher Suspensions: Embarrassing, Or Just Useless?
Benches cleared twice in Kansas City on Saturday, with Jonathan Sanchez hitting Shin-Soo Choo, and Indians starter Jeanmar Gomez leading off the next half-inning by drilling Mike Moustakas in the lower back. There was the requisite pushing and shoving and tough talking, and the Indians won in extr...
Jason Kendall Blows Up At A Reporter, Is Kind Of An Asshole
Yesterday, Nick Wright of 610 AM was interviewing Royals prospect Mike Moustakas when he asked him a wholly innocuous question about possibly starting the season in AAA to delay his arbitration clock. That's when Jason Kendall, not even part of the conversation, jumped in....
