There are ways to ask that like a pro. “Mike, is there something Olivares needs to show to earn more playing time? How is he adjusting to the majors? Etc.” Hacks like Petro can approach it like the above, though. They aren’t real journalists and don’t have to be accountable to the managers and players every day.

I do agree that the beat writers that are assigned to the Royals have really lobbed softball questions at both Matheny and GMDM all year long. We're on pace for yet another 90 to 100 loss season, and that is just not acceptable. I will never EVER tolerate being a bottom feeder. Royals have been doormats too many times in their team history. Get up off the mat and get back to respectability. The press needs to ask those hard questions about the "long term plan" and ask them often.

They sure don't mind nagging Andy Reid about back flips or why certain players missed voluntary camps. Idk why they don't have a problem asking a HOF coach and maybe the best ever some tough questions, but when it comes to a shit franchise like the Royals they completely avoid anything that refuse to ask those kinds of questions. |

I want them to ask why is Olivares not in the lineup everyday and having his ABs taken away for Ryan O'Hearn and other broke dicks.

I agree with that. What else do you want to ask them?

Is it just me, or is Terry Bradshaw a shitty hitting coach? Our approach at the plate when Dale Sveum was the hitting coach seemed to be a lot different.
I could just be completely wrong, but we seem to strike out on pitches out of the strike zone more than any time I can ever remember. Yes, our home runs and slugging percentage is better now, but that could be due to having better power hitters than ever before. I get sick of watching our right handed hitters weakly whiffing at pitches low and outside. Except for Salvy, he strikes out on those same pitches, but he swings hard.

Dozier can't hit a breaking ball to save his ass. Nobody should throw him a fastball or change EVER. Nothing but sliders and curveballs. He'd be out of baseball in six months.

In his last 15 games Soler is hitting over .300, so you have to wonder why he was sucking so bad for the first half of the year under Bradshaw's watch?

Soler has notoriously not hit well until the temperatures increase. He has always started slow and hit well in the summer months.

He was on fire before the trade, it would also take a hitting coach a little more time with a player to make that big of a difference.
