I think Renfroe has just hit the wall physically. He’s a percentage point or two less than what he was, and that’s enough to make him look bad.

Looks like Bubic is likely done based on the scene in the dugout...

But back to Renfroe... I know this isn't the best example at all... but I clearly remember Mike Schmidt tearfully announcing his retirement in early May of 1989 because he felt like he wasn't performing up to his own expectations and was turning into a liability for the team. His numbers weren't good, especially for him, though he was 39 years old. But his numbers upon his retirement ****ing blow Renfroe's away. He had 6 homers, 7 doubles, 28 RBI and an OPS+ OF 91.

Hang em up Hunter, I might actually gain some respect for you.

Damn man. I think Vinnie has to sit for a few games or something. His homer per 8 games or whatever is not worth the almost automatic outs the rest of the time.

Or how about the Royals make the move because it's painfully obvious? If I were a Renfroe I'd probably hang on as long as I could. It's not his job to cut himself.

He should join Massey for a month long trip to Omaha. His approach is just completely ****ed from what he was a couple of years ago.

Just to play “devil’s advocate” (not disagreeing with you because I don’t disagree) but Schmidt was beloved in PA and a shoo in HOFer. Renfroe is a journeyman who will be forgotten almost immediately after he retires. Maybe he can’t yet face that reality.

I think there's a fair chance that happens pretty soon considering Dairon Blanco just began his rehab assignment.

Yeah, I can't disagree, and as I already stated, Schmidt is far from the best example. But how about one a little more recent involving a Royal: Gil Meche. He isn't remembered by many, but I bet a lot of people remember him for his impromptu retirement with a year left of his contract. He realized he likely was never gonna be the same pitcher again, and rather than **** around and find out, he hung em with some dignity.

Good. Give me Dairon Blanco, Dannon yogurt, Darren Daulton, anyone other than Renfroe

Great example. He left a shitload of $ on the bone as well. I’m sure Meche was good with taking his $, traveling the world, raising kids, etc.

Guess Renfroe isn’t comfortable enough with his future yet.


Or some shit. Why else would you continue to be embarrassed daily? Other than lots of $, of course.

Looked like Massey could've made that stop.

"Ummm, Darren Daulton is dead sir."

"Well, cross him off then!"

Oh that strikeout was NASTY! Great job, Lynch.

Massey sucks, the sooner the ROYALS Front office realize this, the better

Eat shit O'Hearn, you mother****ing mother****er no good rotten son of a mother****er.
