Almost every Top 30 org prospect having a bad start

Dayton Moore drafted a bunch of shitholes and put them in a poor organization for development. After he was fired his under study was promoted and most of the organization was kept in tact..

I can't imagine why this isn't going well..keepi.g Piccolo basically kills optimism because it's not viewed as starting over.

And if you go look at Bobby Witt Jrs career projection for what he's done so far in his career you get...Omar Infante...no joke.

I think I’m catching Royals fever!

It’s terminal!

Here's some good news!

Thank you for the good news :)

This was a long battle.

This ^^^

Pure luck from a career AAAA guy. And not a single person on here was bitching about him getting cut at that time.

So? We aren’t paid to make these decisions

And I’m positive not one person here wanted ROH protected

It's 99% luck 100% but that doesn't change that the Royals make bad decision after bad decision.

Wish we could get lucky once

Luck is when opportunity meets preparation, what do the Royals do that make you think they are prepared or opportunistic?

Nothing

I wonder why we let go of Richard Lovelady

Edit: Ah, maybe he's just as much ass as everyone else in our pen.

To their credit, even with all the failures it was only like 3 years ago they turned Soler into a HR champ and future WS MVP.

And trades him at his absolute lowest value..which is likely what will also happen with Barlow, it's just dumb shit like that..

Or that Jackson Kowar is basically not a MLB worthy player..or that Asa Lacey is pure shit or Gavin Cross being off to a crap ass start.

Ive compared his offense and athletic ability to Jeff Francoer. Very similar. He seems to have more power than Infante, Strikeout way more than him, and BWJ is worse at defense but I see the similarities as far as production.

It’s not a fever. It’s AIDS…

7-23

The state of Missouri combined may struggle to put up 100 wins this season...

The A's are worse, so there's that. But the A's might be sucking (thinking "Major League" movie) in order to get their moved to Vegas approved..

On Memorial Day a Missouri team will win

On track for 37 wins. At least they will get a good draft pick to misuse.

Vinnies .863 OPS is 40th in the AL.

Ronald Acuna Jr leads the AL in WAR. And fun fact, Maikel Garcia is his cousin.

OPS+

Schitt Jr 80
Lil Nicky 78


Woof!

So is Alcides Escobar and Acuna was at Royals spring training when he was 16.

Swapping out the linens on the Hindenburg

44 pitches with 5 scoreless innings and Greinke is done?

Heating up

Jeez. Bats were ****ing hot that inning.

Our best lineup is scoring runs. Has done it two nights in a row now

Royals did not strike out

1:59 game time tonight.

I'm really glad I bought up a bunch of Vinnie baseball cards.

It would be like Greinke to come back after 5 scoreless on a Wednesday start and be like “welp, I’m retired.”

Not saying that happened. But I could see it someday.

Add that to the legend of Zack Greinke. He will one day have a plaque in Cooperstown.

Now we have even less to do around the stadium. I guess now its Taco Bell!

Did The Shermanator order the code red?

It's ok. Once the Royals move downtown, the Chiefs will build plenty around there and collect all the revenue in the process.

Buildings just spontaneously combust out there. Another check in the downtown stadium column.

We’ll be watching 60 win baseball with a helluva backdrop soon enough!

Jordan Lyles received a TWO-YEAR contract

Royals catchers with two homers in that inning

AUSTIN COX IS A STUD!!

Royals have tied the game after being down 8-1.

****!! Isbel hurt, looks like he pulled something

And the Royals take the lead

Ooof, Vinnie.

Great comeback, though!

Chapman is trying to blow it up

and he does

Chapman poops 'em

3 SB in the inning, only 1 out

Royals score 10 and lose, two of their best relievers imploded in the 8th and 9th. Bullpen walked 6 over last two innings, Chapman gave up 4 SBs.

It was another gut punch. Came back from being down 8-1 to take the lead. The young kids are hitting. And then Chapman and Garrett cough it up.

I still love em though.

"If we don't love em now, we didn't deserve em in 15." Isn't that the saying?!

The kids ain’t quitting. That’s what I’m telling myself. Or trying to.

Because this is pain.

The "BATTLE FOR THE BOTTOM" begins this weekend, Oakland (6-26) vs KC (8-24) :hmmm:

Yes. Both teams seasons are already over.

Don't think anyone's going to show, especially the product on the field at the moment....

Terrible effort by the Royals management of all levels.

Terrible.

LMAO Getting shellacked by a team actively trying to be terrible

Jesus, this team is just ****ing atrocious. Just a god damn dumpster fire.

Continuing to watch the royals right now is a form of mental illness.

Just disgusting

The crowd for Cain's day was lame as hell.

Or maybe it is tomorrow and more people will show.

This team is a ****ing dumpster fire. Currently they are playing the team that many would consider the worst team in MLB this year and possibly the worst MLB team ever fielded in 10+ years. The A's STAR player is Brent Rooker, a player that about 24 teams would DFA if they found him on their roster. Their starting pitcher this evening, Kyle Muller, might be the worst starting pitcher I've ever seen pitch, the way he just lobs 88 mph fastballs down the middle and hopes for the best. I've seen all his starts coming into this game and I really believed the guy just isn't capable of getting MLB hitters out. He's that bad. His ERA coming into this game was 6.28 and that reflects good luck cause his xERA was 7.48. He was WALKING 4.71 batters per 9 which is insanely bad. It would take me a long time to even find a pitcher that walks more batters. His K/9 was under 6.50 ffs.

So I held my nose and paid the -150 to bet big on KC. They were at home and at least Keller has proven that he belongs in the MLB, if nothing more than that. They have real talent in their lineup unlike the Jesus Aguilars of the A's.

I get home from a long shift at McD's, my till was short somehow so I got written up, and all I wanted to do was watch this major bet I made. The game had already started by the time I got it loaded and it was already 5-0 A's. Muller is totally unhittable for KC. Not a hitter in their lineup even has a chance against this ACE.

I'm pissed. This Royals team has proven they are actually far worse than the A's, making THEM the worst MLB team of the last 10+ years.

Forget the new stadium. Contract this whole organization!

LMAO

Pratto dong...yessir

Thought he was known to be really good defensively. Then I see a routine 74mph exit velocity groundball get hit right to him and he decides he'll backhand it for no reason. The ball bounces off his wrist and launches into RF, where MJ Melendez was just casually jogging in to back the play up, so the A's hitter took 2nd.

I'd bench both Pratto and Melendez for their poor effort on that play. Who do they think they are? First ballot hall of famers? Pratto is a AAAA bust in the making with his 40% K-rate and Melendez is a .160 hitter this season that is doing his best to prove that he's also a AAAA player. Yet both just can't be bothered to make even a decent effort on defense. I'd bench them both for a week. I'd send them both down since they have options. You can't have players just not trying.

I'm a huge Pratto hater now, for life, and no solo home run erases that error that he didn't bother even trying on.

Just need Vinnie, Witt Jr, and Garcia to play like studs, so I can offload some of these cards and make a ton.

LMAO Yeesh. Dude probably got himself fired for this one.

That's Dallas Braden.
