AAAA Royals vs. AAAA Mariners 8/6

[Sure-Oz]

Zack pitching like he dont give a fugg..cmon man

[Mecca]

If Kila could actually develop into a hitter then Hosmer could end up in the OF, hes actually capable defensively.

[Sure-Oz]

So according to Ryan and Frank, zack is hurting david and daytons feelings?

that said maybe zack shouldn't have said shit but who knows

[Mecca]

I'm sure Zack really cares about the feelings of the guys who he basically railed for not putting together a better team.

That said, they did coddle the **** out of him too, even when he 'quit'...but sometimes shit like this needs to be public but i bet his teammates even if they suck dont appreciate it.

he is what he is. I might wonder about it with other players, but this isn't Zack finally getting annoyed enough to tactlessly gripe.

There are two things that have always been true about him. 1) he hates interviews and will try to avoid them. 2) When he does decide to talk to the press, he has no filter. You ask him a question, you don't get a cliche, you get the honest truth out of him whether you are ready to hear it or not.

I dont think he's sending a message. He decided to talk to a reporter, the reporter asked a question, he answered it.

Greinke is joining their suck parade tonight.

Yeah, except for the part where some people would've told Zack to take a hike when he quit and let him rot into "never was" oblivion... this organization has done nothing for him.

It's the Royals and at that time they had even less to be excited about than they do now, it's not like they were the Yankees that could go yea we'll replace you for being a ****up now get out.

It's always negative with you. Everything that goes well is some offshoot of some other negative. I think some teams would've handled it well, some wouldn't. There are a lot of hardasses out there who don't like quitters... Mike Shanahan types, if you will. It doesn't always work out. It's not like anybody coddled Roscoe Crosby when he threw his career away.

heh, he's not that negative.

Maybe on this board, but on other Royals boards there are some pricks who ostensibly are Royals fans, but either for laughs or because of emotional baseball scarring in early Royal fan-dom, they are so aggressively negative that its almost a parody.

Yeah, I would be angry most of the time if I was forced to post over at Royals Corner. But at least they could tell me the lower intestinal UZR of the pancakes I had for breakfast while torturing Emil Brown with bees Wicker Man style as all the women wore Aaron Guiel masks.

[Sure-Oz]

Given his natural ability, most, if not all, ML teams would have held his hand, too.
