Absolutely they do and I won’t apologize for the Royals beating the shit out of their team.

It’s beyond pathetic, but like lewdog and WilliamtheIrish, they’ve gotta own it. How fucked in the head is Crochet? Making demands? He’d rather continue pitching for the worst team in the league than perhaps not have his own ideal role with a contender? What a queer. He’ll be moved in the offseason demands be damned. What a jackass. I do feel bad for Pedro Grifol, but it was his decision to jump ship to that south side shitshow. There isn’t a manager dead or alive that could do much better with that roster.

Didn’t they have one of the best farms in baseball a couple of years ago? What happened since then?
[Reply]

Lol so glad that KC said no thanks to Pedro Grifol. Chris Getz also looks like a fucking clown running that organization.

No matter what happens from here, I have to hand it to the Royals. They keep me interested to the start of Chiefs preseason.

I would like to thank them for that. Normally a dead period in sports for me when March Madness is over. The Royals filled that for the first time since what, 2016?

Yeah it’s been very very nice to be able to turn on the TV every night and actually give a shit about the game. Didn’t have optimism at all to start the year we’d get this.

I’d certainly love a dominant team but just have a solid good team to follow is such a big deal for these hot don’t want to go outside just want to watch TV months

I see he isn't the starter Tuesday, but can anyone tell if Noah Cameron is the likely starter for Wednesday?
[Reply]

Should be Cole Ragens on Wednesday

They have it set up perfectly so Singer/Lugo/Ragans face Boston this week then Minnesota next week. Have to think they stick to that since they're both huge series.
[Reply]

Sorry I meant up in Omaha
[Reply]

Good. I was like “shit, did something happen to Ragans?”

Depends on what site you go to, but they still have a fertile group down on the farm. The major league team went into tank mode before the season began, while also getting hit hard by injuries and underperformance. They’ll be back to being a pain in the ass within a couple years.

Definitely have the pitching matchups that we want. Just gotta take care of business. Take 2 from the BoSox and rail those queers from Saint Lou for a nice 4-1 homestand before hopefully figuring out how to beat those fuckers from Minnesota. For whatever reason, they’ve had our number all year.

Thank you.

Eh - hard not to put some of that on a manager.

Oh sure, they were always going to lose 100. 105 may have been a foregone conclusion.

But when you have 2 guys in Crochet and Fedde who were pitching their asses off for you, that alone should keep you from being historically bad.

I mean if every player you have is fairly young and still underperforming their norms, that's a manager and organization issue as well. It ain't like Robert was hurt - he was just shitty. Lopez should've had good defensive value at least - hasn't. Benintendi has a long track record of being average to slightly above - he's been one of the worst players in baseball this year at an age that he just shouldn't be. Vaughn regresed for the 2nd straight year.

The White Sox should've been bad. But they shouldn't be THIS bad. They have a more talented roster than this. I mean somthing like 60-102 should've been a reasonable floor for them. And that's BEFORE they got a breakout from Crochet and career season from Fedde.
