Trade/cut them all. Loosers.
Also must be some real pricks, too. How about Whit Merrifield here. Fuck these guys.

I really have to wonder now if the organization has been held back because they are putting religious beliefs as an attribute in a prospect as more important than things like ability to draw walks, arm strength, etc.

The sad thing is I am 100% serious. 10 is such an outlier. And some of the roster moves have been so unconventional under Dayton.

I have been trying to find the tweet, but last night on twitter, someone reshared a tweet where a media member witnessed Dayton Moore racing to the TV broadcast booth to shut down the commentators for congratulating Salvy for having a child because Salvy was not married yet. Dayton said it’s something they don’t celebrate.

A lot of change should be ahead.

Ugh, I kind of blocked out the Jesus Freak stuff with Dayton. Between that and the large number of science deniers on the roster, I'm fine with blowing the whole thing up.

Also, they suck.

In a vacuum, winning a few more games and still missing the playoffs can actually be the wrong thing to do.

But, that said, we are talking about 3 winning seasons in 16 years. This is not some model regime.

New owners. New stadium location. Time for new management.

In the middle of the year, with the team actually turning it around the last few weeks and more than a third of the team is allowed to do "science." There was an article on a woman in Shawnee who, an anti-vaxxer, has lost 16 family members and friends to COVID. She posted away on FB chronicling each lost prayer warrior. This level of stupid is lethal. Pro athletes?

Sam McDowell reporting that there may be a little bit of a clubhouse rift over the 10 mouthbreathers making a "personal choice."

What a clown show of an organization.

Anti-porn, anti-vax--you can almost stomach it if the team were perennial contenders.

I was planning on using our seats several times the rest of the season to watch the young dudes, but if you were to ask me today, for myself I don't think I can show up and support this management and several of the players.

I agree CnB. There was just a post on how much better players do leaving KC the last couple of years with real management and coaching. Moore can really kill franchise value--something he isn't credited with enough. He tends to conduct pitching fire sales and bid up Santana contracts. I would be super pissed if I am ownership. Mahomes needs to crack some skulls for effect. I know he is a minority owner, but value is value. You build a good product and people come.

Note on Merrifield. That SOB. He knew this was coming and pretended to be injured so he could act like a hero ending his playing streak this week. Straight douche move.

This just gets more perfect throughout the day.

How in the hell does Cal Eldred still have a job has been a question that has been asked every single day this season.

Then you google Cal Eldred and articles about his religious faith come up.

I'm about to the point where I think journalists need to do a deep dive into the Royals hiring and signing practices.

Watched the Stormchasers beat Toronto. No Eldred was like a dream. Need to clean house thoroughly. The Royals are run like a dysfunctional company who uses religious tests for hiring. E.g. last place.

Watched tonight too--but the Bluejays were hitting juiced balls. Royals dead balls. Pasquintino hit three monster shots that were all outs. Weird ballistics too. Pratto absolutely crushed one in the ninth that became a double. Just died. Hmmm. Been that way all year--kind of random, but has really impacted power hitters on KC. Bluejays flicking the wrist for upper deckers tonight.

Yep, trade/cut his dumb ass.
Trade him to Toronto. I would bet he gets the vaccine the next day rather than retire and get a real job.

Royals get Gavin Cross, outfielder from VTech and Cayden Wallace, 3B from Arkansas in the draft.
