Beyond fucking pumped. He's been pummeling pitching all year.

Give the keys to the fucking kids and let them drive!

So we got two pitchers Wyatt Mills and William Fleming for Santana.

Getting anything for Santana blows me away. The team looking ready to make a run next year. Pratto still waiting the call. Vinnie reminds me of Butler quite a bit.

Going to be interesting to see what they get for Benintendi

After changing baseball in 2014/15, Moore has completely neglected the pen. He has been completely ineffective obtaining talent there. Yesterday, the Royals blew another big lead courtesy of Moore's big off season signing. Garrett has been abysmal. With starters going four innings, either the Royals stop pitch counting or concentrate on getting 10 new arms.

Matheny blew two challenges. Didn't use them on clear mistakes and nearly ruined tonight's game. He needs to go yesterday. Team won in spite of the manager. Including trying to bunt with two strikes.

Benintendi our All Star.
Don't think he will be a Royal much longer.
I fear he'll soon be in pinstripes.

I say keep him and pay him. What Moore will do is spin the washed out arms and cash deal as a "win-win." They have zero credibility with me after 2017. Any idiot can recreate the 2005 Royals.

This is a unique trade. And not horrible. Get a guy who has got a better chance of getting to majors compared to the 35th pick.

I think we all tire of good players as trade value only.

Salvy, Moose, Gordo, Hosmer, LoCain, Esky, Zobrist, Wade, Herrera, Holland, Vargas, Ventura, Cueto.
( though, man, trading Wade Davis was a preemptive fail move )

Our team blows.
And we aren't going to spend 250 million on payroll.

Beyond Matheny, who I believe can lose 20 games on his own, this team has the makings of a great one. The Royals need pen help in an era of strict pitch counts. Sunday's four inning relief job is the way of things. But Isbel and Vinnie coming on, along with Melendez and Witt can form a really solid core. DH Salvy. Platoon Dozier and O'Hearn, keep Bennie. The starters in the field are solid. Pitching to contact and strengthening the pen would get them close to.500 this year. Need a solid manager though. And no fire sale.
Tired of cheap ownership.

We have a -103 run differential.
We are 27th in runs scored.
27th in team ERA.
28th in Batting Average Against.

Not buying what you are selling.

Youth movement has begun. And some winning has happened. Something like 4 games over .500 in last 25 games.

Royals need to get over trying to get veteran guys. Just let the kids play.

I think it's better to trade Benintendi than to sign him to a 5-6 year deal at ~$20-25M per.

At this point, it definitely is.

Working from home. Royals are on here on MLB. Sweet. That never happens.

And we're up on Detroit.

Also, does this Mills dude think he's Quisenberry?

Losers on and off the field.
