It would be awesome if 2 of those 3 would find their way out of our Organization...sooner rather than later.

Singer is frustrating to watch. A couple of times today (his last at-bat against Gallo comes to mind), it was clear he just didn't have the stuff to even challenge Joey and ended up conceding a walk to him after being ahead 0-2. Now the Yankees are completely on his fastball and slider (as per usual in his 3rd time through the order) and he has nothing to counter it with. Add in the fact that he is just ignoring runners on the basepaths and it just seems like he's a guy who could benefit from extended time in Omaha where he can throw his change and bounce back mentally until he's comfortable competing at this level.

If he stops being so stubborn and starts taking advantage of what the staff can do to help him develop a third pitch (changeup, cutter, splitter, don't care) he can be a really good major leaguer.

Singer just looks awful. I was excited to see him after the promise he showed last year. What a disappointment.

Ventura's death is still a gutpunch for me to think about. 2017 just had a pall over it from that point forward . Last edited by Chiefspants; 08-11-2021 at 07:36 PM.. |

He does not seem to be aspiring to be a virtuous person with integrity. Not sure why it hurt your feelings worse than it hurt his. If the asshole says he has no interest in the Royals organization until Moore and Matheny are "shit-canned", he might take a break from tossing turds in the Royals thread punch bowls, if he had integrity. Maybe we could start a thread on the Royals for the scrubs that have not accomplished 1/100th of what Dayton Moore has accomplished and they can congratulate each other on how much better a job they would have done if they somehow had the job they did nothing to earn.

It can be true that Dayton Moore did an amazing job in his first decade as the Royals GM and also that he did not do an amazing job at the things he needed to starting about 1/2 through that first decade, leading to under performance in years 11-15.
The Royals were a JOKE when he took the job. Their scouting department was small and pathetic and poorly organized. They had no presence in Latin America. No FA with options wanted a part of Kc unless overpaid by significant amounts. Then he spent five years building the thing from the ground up and turning it into an elite farm system, ranked by many prospect orgs at the time as the deepest system they’d ever seen and best they’d ever seen. And then he cashed that in for 2 pennants and a World Series title. Meanwhile, teams undergoing similar rebuilds in places like Pittsburgh or Seattle ended up with nada. And then he and his staff did a bad job adjusting to the changes in the draft system. They could no longer throw enough money at guys in later rounds to build the depth they needed to make the HS prospect approach work any more. But they realized they were of course and have worked hard to correct since 2016. I’m still not a fan of the approach they took in the draft this year, but the 17, 18, 19, and 20 drafts were nice changes. The 16 draft was pretty meh, but Nicky Lopez looks like an everyday player, Richard Lovelady should be a good bullpen piece, and they flipped Khalil Lee for 2 years of Andrew Benintendi (that may turn into more via extension). Those drafts and changes in approach with pitching and hitting development built up a lot of good will with me. I’m excited about the state of the farm. But the staff of dumbasses and the 21 draft class burn most of that good will off.

I've never seen someone so triggered over criticism of a shitty GM and shitty manager. Are you Dayton Moore or a relative of his? The amount of emotion spilling out from your responses has me thinking that you may have actually cried while reading my posts or while you were writing yours, hell maybe both. Obviously I give a shit about the team. I sure as hell wouldn't be bitching every single night about how terribly ran they are. At the moment there is only one ****ing dude that I despise and his name is Ryan O'Hearn. This clown has a .653 OPS and -2.8 WAR between 2019 and today. Does this stop the Royals from playing him in RF instead of Edward Olivares, a guy that has a .739 OPS in 20 games this season. He's done everything he can, but is treated like a piece of trash. |
