Frazier leading off?

https://gifdb.com/images/high/ryan-r...ejgpp14ew.webp

I continue to not understand the importance of Frazier and Hampson. A waste of money. Instead of getting one good player they got two shitty ones instead that kinda do the same thing.

Bob getting things started with a double

A 32 year old ‘has been’ leading off? Hard to call him a ‘has been’ when he never was. Just sad.

Offense still ass

Welp, this game is probably over already.

So which three batters should we add next year?

Both ****ing homers exact same spot, exact same pitch

Welp it was a good run

Singer is so soft mentally.

That's why they went after Chapman this offseason

Royals are cooked. They MAY back into the playoffs but it has 2-game scoreless sweep all over it. But odds are at this point they won’t make it anyway. I’ll be at 1-2 of the DC games this week to give my best efforts since I am here and those games are highly consequential, but man they just ran out of gas.

Was about to switch over but nah...

Watched KU football's season end already today, don't need to double up with this squad

I wouldn’t miss a game all year and the last two nights I’ve just given up after the first inning when the other team scored because I know we can’t score a single run.

The most fragile SP in the league.

It's insane but he has some stuff to be a really, really good pitcher.

This team couldn't beat its way out of a wet paper bag. Bobby Witt and a bunch of shit.

Bobby has to be kicking himself for signing that deal with this garbage franchise.

Can’t believe Frazier hasn’t worked out in the lead off spot. All stats would tell you he should succeed. Truly a mystery.

Awful

Who cares if they end up backing into time playoffs anyway. I highly doubt they even score a run in 2 games.

I miss scoring runs

we'll probably get one in the either or ninth just so we don't get shut out.

That's extremely optimistic.

Massey’s body language trotting to first on the groundout… these guys need to wake the f up. Someone send them all a pager message.

MJ "Cement Shoes" Melendez

Welp.

RIP

Epic choke job. They are completely gassed. They have no energy and no answers.

Hey, is Stratton off the Il yet? If so, let's put him in too.

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

Not laughing. Crying maybe.

This team is DONE.

Will finish getting swept tomorrow by Snell.

Maybe get one out of three against Nats on the road.

And then get swept by Atlanta to finish the season since they’ll still be fighting for a playoff spot.

I don’t know if they’re soft and they have just given up or they’re just tired and worn down and don’t have anything left to give?

Whatever it is, they’re done this season. Time to close the book on 2024.

Some significant (and obvious) areas to address this offseason.

Hopefully Sherm is willing to open the checkbook since he wants his new stadium.

Just a pathetic ass performance

May be the biggest choke job in MLB history

Well, slap my ass and call me Charlie.

Just remember that the Royals will have to face Chris Sale and Max Fried in Atlanta

I know they care, they just suck other than Bobby. Sal looks old. Only a very few others should even be on a major league roster.

Fans abandoning them this easily? Look up the 2006 Cardinals. They'd be far from the first mediocre team to get in and go on a run.

I mean, I know losing Vinnie was a big blow to this team and lineup, but if they’re THIS bad without him, we’ve got a LOT bigger problems than Vinnie.

Didn’t realize how devoid of leadership this team was without Vinnie. No one there to take on his role and motivate the guys.

Anyone know what Raul Ibanez is doing these days??

the clay curse lives on

Bases loaded no out down 2 ninth inning. Let's go Orioles!

This team has lost 6 in a row with a playoff spot on the line to close the season. They’ve scored 4 runs in 37 innings now, not for a lack of opportunities.

This team has ZERO chance of getting in and going on a run. ZERO

Henderson single! Tie game!

The Tigers are just as bad as the Royals and just choked the game away to the Orioles. It's exceedingly likely that KC is still making it; they may not even have to win more than a game or two to do it.

Orioles just tied the game!! Runner on second and third with no outs!!

come on baltimore salvage this shitty sports day for me...

Cuck night at the K sealed the deal

COME ON O’S… THESE O’S ARE LOYAL!!

Jackson holiday terrible base running blows this. Should have easily scored and he wasn't paying attention.

Detroit is the hottest team in the AL since the ASB and have won 10 of their last 13. They’re on another level than the Royals right now. They also close with three at home against the White Sox.

They’re making it.

Tigers are going to win. Orioles falling apart.

of course detroit is still going to win. GD Baltimore runner at second and third nobody out and you can't score him.

Sounds like another team out there, but I can't quite put my finger on who it might be.

Umm, check again.

The Tigers are up 6-4 on the Orioles in the 10th.

Don't worry guys. Blake Snell going tomorrow for the Giants.

This will have to be one of the biggest collapses in MLB history.

They did choke the game away before that in the 9th, but the Orioles didn't tag up for no good reason.

Either way, the Tigers are not a very good team and two of these AL Central mediocre teams have to end up making it given how bad the AL is. The Royals are still the odds-on favorite to do so right now despite you abandoning them.

Actually I think its one of the biggest turnarounds in MLB history, but yeah, I get the disappointment in squandering this starting pitching and a Bobby MVP caliber season...

...but as a reminder we lost 106 games last season

Not even close even if it happened.

The 1987 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's 11th season of Major League Baseball. It resulted in the Blue Jays finishing second in the American League East with a record of 96 wins and 66 losses. They had been in first place by 3½ games over the Detroit Tigers with a week left to play, but they dropped their next seven games in a row, capped off by a sweep at the hands of Detroit at Tiger Stadium on the last weekend of the season, and lost the division by two games.

We get Chris Sale and Max Fried in Atalanta too!

Meh, we're not out of it yet. 7 games left.

You abandoned your ass team 2 months into the season after they got embarrassed by the Royals.

WTF are you to be in here slinging shit?

The Jays were even worse than this mediocre Royals team and that was evident by May.

And slinging shit? I'm telling you the odds are in their favor and you're ignoring them for no good reason. You remind me of the people who wrote off the Chiefs after the Raiders loss last year. None of this matters as long as they get in the playoffs.

The only saving grace is that the royals do better against good pitchers

Yes, the overall season is a BIG turnaround and huge improvement, but the collapse is pretty all time bad.

Just six days ago they were 6 up for a playoff spot and almost ready to clinch. Now they’re 1 up and Detroit and Minny are likely to go flying right on by.

If they can’t beat a below average SF team at home, I fail to see how they’re gonna win even 2-3 games on the road vs. Wash. and Atlanta.

It MIGHT be over

If they get in, great.
If they don't, whatever.

If they get in, they’re winning it all.

If they don’t, fire everyone.

Best part of baseball - game in less than 24 hours.

We have to watch another one of these tomorrow!?!

i purposely didnt watch or check scores today, thought that might help.

Made it worse apparently.

My god........this is excrutiating.

Some of you guys may not know much baseball history (and that’s ok). This won’t even be close to an all time collapse.

Still sucks and brings a fun season to an “out like a lamb” type finish but no one wil think much of it again after next week.

Nope. Let's do this shit.

In OVERALL baseball history? No.

For the Royals? Absolutely.

This time a week ago we were 6 games up on a playoff spot going for a sweep of the Pirates. Now? Yikes

If they don’t end up making the playoffs (and that’s probably pretty damn likely at this point), then yeah, it’s a pretty ****ing big all time collapse for the Boys in Blue.

Embarrassing.
