    Wth? Lopez looked safe. There’s 2 outs in the 8th what’s the point of not challenging?

    You know what I love to do when a closer clearly doesn’t have it and has given up back to back singles? Give them a free out to watch MAT strike out in a high leverage situation and effectively end the game. Someone needs to slit Mathenys throat. Massey bunts so MAT can strike out. It’s fucking asinine.

    Only way you can learn to hit major league pitching is in AAA

    Hey, give Dayton credit he’s sticking with Dozier and Dozier rewarded him with an 0-4.

    I've frankly given up on following/watching/listening to them. These idiots couldn't manage a Burger King, let alone a major league franchise.

    They've finally done it - they've lost me. I never thought I'd ever, ever abandon this franchise, but between the shitty play, shitty management, condescension from DM, the abortion of a TV broadcast deal, the exorbitant cost of going to a game anymore, I'm done. They've sucked the joy out of it.

    It's kind of freeing.

    I saw this morning the press release that he was having an emergency press conference. Then forgot all about it till now, pleasant little surprise. I don’t see anyway JJ, Matheny, or Eldred survive.

    do you think JJ is just taking over in the interim? it sounded pretty permanent

    Yeah, I posted that before I heard the presser. Sounds like JJ is getting 2023 to prove himself. Cal and Mike are gone though. I don’t know what to do about manager but the first 2 calls I hope he makes should be to Kyle Snyder and Brian Bannister. Two former Royals that have already proven they know how to ID and develop dominant pitching.

    Isnt there a site that tracks all of those and has each players “typical” number of HRs? (Like every ball that would of been a HR in over half the parks). I swear I’ve seen a list like that before.

    We’ve had a sub .400 winning percentage since 2018. Sorry we expect to sniff .500 once or twice a decade.

    I truly can't fathom how people (mostly pundits) think getting rid of DMGM is a bad move. In 16 seasons we were better than .500 for only 3 of them and we lost 90+ games 9 times.

    He caught lightning in a bottle for two seasons and everything else was dogshit.

    What a stupid game they play. 11 runs and they also ran into an out on the base paths in the same inning. Silly.

    Season needs to end just for Vern’s sanity. He is screaming at people on the post game show. People calling in excited about the comeback and he’s just lighting them up.

    Dang! They lead off the game with a HR? I didn't watch/listen to the game, but with that kind of start surely they put up a few crooked numbers, right?
