So ****ing tired of hearing the Royals announcers make excuses for this brutal play.

weak..****ing weak....we had chances and choked them away

Very fitting Perez made the final out...

Why can't we have a Kyle Gibson?

They're gonna have to make a decision on Rios in the next couple weeks. Out of 390 hitters over 100 PA, he's 10th worst in wRC+. Cannot have that at RF in the American league.

As I posted earlier in this thread, this is the only game thread I'll start for this series, I'll be way too busy to start any of the others. So someone else can feel free to post something at 12:01 am so that we can forget about this shitty game.

Because if we had someone like him he wouldn't develop into the player he currently is. We can't develop pitchers. Likewise, we can't develop patient hitters who take walks. I believe our minors are often towards the bottom in walks in all of baseball? It's not a surprise then when the major league team is full of reeruns who hack away at anything thrown their way.

According to David Lesky John Lamb is no longer listed as the starter in Omaha for tomorrow night.

Watching the Ned post game is awful.... he refuses to say anything bad about the Royals players...

It's hard to judge a pitcher's quality against this offense. Terrible hitters are these guys.

Glad I didn't waste my money going to the game.

All too frequent these days.

Is there a manager that will? Do you need a manager dogging on them when they all seem to be slumping and pressing. Just gotta work through it.

The organizational philosophy is always make contact. It kind of goes against the way the game has changed this century, but it was also why they were so successful in the playoffs. They had like 100 less strikeouts than the next fewest team last year. Put the ball in play and make the defense work.

This year it might be even bigger, they're again dead last in strikeouts and almost 80 behind the next team. The difference between the 15 and 29th ranked team is almost as big as 29th to 30th. That's kind of impressive.

Just don't act like no one has ever seen how good efficient offenses work.

Looks like the 44 wins we had had so far this year. Just gotta work through a slump. No if the team is dogging out then sure the manager should give them hell just not in front of the press.
