The Royals

[bucket]

it's a bit astounding how bad the royals are.

Royals Twitter was down bad tonight.

What's the new marketing campaign for the Royals- Welcome to the City?

Hard to figure their angle on that one . . . LMAO.

Yeah, i had a chuckle on that one too. Gonna blame Smellinger for it.

Sounds like they're getting people ready for downtown baseball

someday i'll tune into a royals game in the third inning and they'll have a lead. but that day is not this day year.

I just signed up for a class action lawsuit against
MLB.com. I’ll be sure to split any settlement with you.

The Royals are on pace for 32 wins.  I might wait for at least one of those 18 game pods to pass before completely dismissing the season.

Welp

Welp

The pace has been upped to 36 wins.

They don't hit well but they also don't pitch well

I noticed that too but that's not quite enough to entice me.

This would have been punchier in a Thursday's Howevers (TM) format.

is it possible that 2014-15 actually hurt the Royals in the long run? i have to imagine i would be more pissed off / care more right now if i hadn't experienced those two years. like i know it will probably never be that good again, so why care?

No, we had plenty of awful years before 2014-15, and I never was all that pissed off. Just stopped watching in May.

So what’s the deal with generational talent Bobby Witt Jr?  I thought the wholesale coaching change was about player development.

[mocat]

let's check and see how the royals are doing in terms of 9-game pods

pod 1: 3-6 L
pod 2: 1-8 L

the royals are 0-2 so far in 9-game pods.

this has been pod check with mocat

[cfbandyman]

They are pretty crappy, especially at scoring runs.

[wetwillie]

How many more pods we need to see before we decide that Vinnie is p good?  I’m starting to think he might be.

[sys]

it's astonishing how bad the royals are.  i can't wrap my brain around it.

Bring back Matheny

I mean you might as well.

I would love to.  LoCain was my favorite player on those Royals teams of the mid teens.  Little Schred's first communion threw a wrench in those plans though.
