***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread*** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=346775)

So, wife says “Happy Father’s Day early” I’m going to get you Royals tickets at Orioles for today. I thought about it, and said let’s skip spending 2 hours in the car and 3 more hours watching shitty baseball. I’ll work on trimming trees instead. It was a good decision.

Pratto has stepped up. Which is good to see. I think Vinny's been hurt longer than he has let on with him going on the DL today it makes sense. MJ has been a disappointment for sure. Massey is meh. He makes it, we scored if not no lose. Garcia is a rookie.

I still think some of the bats will come around. Hell they are all 23 and 24. It's not like Gordon, Moose, Salvy, Hosmer and all of them just came out of the gate as bad asses at that age either. And the team's timeline of 2025 seems reasonable just knowing the average age of hitting your prime is 26.

But Pratto is striking out 35 percent of the time, same as last year. Unsustainable BABIP.

More liners, though. But yeah I share your sentiment generally.

Dairon Blanco is seriously on pace to make a run at 100 SB. Tonight is Omaha's 60th game of the year.

This is fun. Getting picked apart by Ryan O'Hearn. 6 plate appearances and he's been on base 6 times in the series.

another great outing for the Nando Mayer two headed monster

This team needs a Charlie Lau....

Caught a couple innings

Waters takes a bad angle on a short fly ball allowing a runner to tag

Oliveras slides wide on a stolen base attempt and gets punched out on a tag to his back foot...right before Garcia singles to left a pitch or 2 later

These guys just really suck at everything

And Ryan O'Hearn homers....

O’Hearn already planning his tweet to Royals twitter after the game.

Getting dumped by the Royals is the best thing that ever happened to him.

I was literally about to post the only thing that'd be more fitting is O'Hearn ends this one by hitting one out into the street and he basically did it except for that fence post that stopped the ball. I know it's a limited sample size but he just looks like a different player. He's in no way a star but he looks like a functional bench player.

Just way too much sloppiness and bad baseball right now.

This franchise is just absolutely pathetic.
