You’ve cherry picked a few examples to go scorched earth on.

You’re no better as a scout than me, or pretty much anyone here. If I’m wrong, this is when you give us your resume. Ten years ago, there were fans like you railing the Royals for giving up on Tony Bats. 30 years ago, fans shit themselves because we gave up on Cecil Fielder.
I’ve got news for you. It’s an inexact science, and you can yell at the sky all night if you want, but it won’t change anything except for your blood pressure.
Yeah, the Royals sign guys who could probably be replaced by guys who don’t get paid shit, but if they all suck, what’s the difference? You’re not paying the salaries, so why give a shit? Does it make it better to have Loftin being Frazier? I guarantee if that happened, you’d be bitching about bringing in a veteran. It’s a no win, no lose thing.
You know what really sucks? We just lost our starting first baseman for the year who was having a very good year. We’ve got nobody who can replace Vinnie right now. We also lost Lorenzen for the next several weeks. That sucks, because he was doing great, and it’s a crapshoot about how he’s gonna get filled in.
And generally speaking, you don’t show up much to be happy or show joy in what has been a pretty amazing season all things considered. You show up to complain about why this happened, why this didn’t happen. Blah, blah, blah…. Maybe that’s how you roll, but I think it must be exhausting.
But I do get it. I’m still pissed about Covid for so many reasons and the pettiest is because my Jayhawks didn’t get a chance at the NCAA tourney, in a year when they were probably at worst a Final Four team.
But dude, seriously, try to lighten up…
