Everyone would agree with you that ventura needs to act professional. It has nothing to do with his race though. Both miggy and yordano are latino btw.

ESPNs power rankings are retarded.

Two straight weeks the Twins have been in the bottom 4 when their record is more like 20th at worst.

Not saying the Twins don't have a good chance at finishing 27 or 28th in baseball but
That's not the point of these things.

So much inconsistency if you look at it. Might be time for new baseball writers.

You gotta win a series against someone other than Cleveland or Seattle if you want to climb the ESPN power rankings.

You gotta wait till 2017 to climb mine.

Royals have been hit 19 times, have hit 5 batters. We're the bad guys, though. Seems legit.

Just because you have been hit doesn't mean the other pitcher intended on hitting you... many times its because hitters are crowding the plate. If you want to crowd the plate... pitchers will pitch inside... its been done since the beginning of the game... Why all the sudden do royals fans think that it means something other than a pitcher is trying to get back the plate? Bad guys??? Yes.. the Royals have been... they have been the ones that took stuff to the next level... every series... every fight. They have been the ones showing their immaturity. The world isn't against you guys.. actually a good percentage of the US was rooting for you.. until this year when you started acting like piles of shit.



Nobody is going to tell me the royals have been classy this season. Be excited about the team.. for the first time in decades the team is relevant... but don't act like every team is out to get you because you won a playoff series... act like you did it before... do you see teams like the cards, tigers, or giants going nuts over the stuff royals players do? I get they are trying to play with emotion... but at some point the reality of the situation has to come into play and they need to start showing a little more respect for the game.

Yeah, the bullshit the White Sox have pulled all season definitely hasn't been happening all season regardless of Ventura. I am just imagining people magically getting hit immediately after homers. I am imagining 3 Royals in the top 5 of HBP's. I am just imagining all of this. Are the Royals angels, nope. Are they instigating all of this- not really.

I can pretty much guarantee at least 5 are intentional... 4 of them by the White Sox. Anyways, I really can give not a care for the nonsense of the unwritten rules- if teams want to cry about what has been going on in reality for 2-3 years- have fun with the retaliation that comes with going after them for "showing up the game;"because the suspensions have been plenty laughable.

Does Ventura need to cool it ( and Herrera can do without being an idiot) of course, but I really doubt anything significant will change besides that. Ergo- it's pretty much the same schtick as the past 2-3 years- apparently now it's whine worthy. Like magic.
