Same type of manager, different name but HOF credentials for 2 years.

As much as I disliked RR he may have been a good fit for the time and possibly got better as a manager. Tony not so. Odd for a HOF manager to walk a player with 1-2 count. You'd think some of the things he did was from dimentia. Maybe the Yermin incident did more harm than thought. I don;t ever recall a manger ever doing that.

That is insulting mediocrity.

Maybe it's because he has the least amount of influence under Katz.

False hopes that a AAA buy is going to bring lightning in a bottle. He needed more time after being hurt before being called up.

They'll be needing a team in Oakland. Ut will be like they never left.

He's been quite and not the center of attention. He's been the best pitcher so far. I'm surprised he hasn't been picked up unless there are hidden words among GMs.

The reality is good scouts are not let go. You even have to play free agency in that. His comment was another dumpster dive. Plus your organization has to be attractive to scouts. Basically I interpret it as getting more failed orgznization people from the Royals.

Nice that they are not throwing in the towel. I was hoping the Reds would chance getting a pitcher.

It's sad when you heard less bullshit in political debates.

I'm done. I'll try not to let this organization ruin my love for the game. Anyone but the White Sox. I've actually watched some of the Cubs. Something I would have never done 40 years ago. I don't live in IL. Shopping for a new team. The owner has a serious disconnect to the fans. I'd rather they move out of state and not be the White Sox. Then an expansion team could claim the name.

For as fewer starts he was the best starter.

This team ends up giving up only 4 runs to the O's consider it a small victory.

rAY cHARELS AND sTEVIE Wonder would be the only ones I could think of that would agree. Kopech can show some rare brilliance but Grifol, no,

If he did how many of them would regress? There's definitely something not right.

LOL! I'm speaking of the loser mentallity fanbase brought to you by Jerry Reinsdorf. Was it really an different when Veeck owned the team? I wonder of Dodger fans have the trade everyone syndrome when the fail to make it to the World Series. The reality is this team will never be competitive because of the one sitting at the top. Trade, trade, trade. It's vague. Getting a haul can be exchanged with the word fleeced with this organization. There is no way out unless change is at the top. Everything else will be meaningless until luck steps in. So far Sox anf luck are extremes. These are some of the reasons why divorcing myself from this team is becoming more of a reality. A large market team organization adopting something not much different than the A's. This is really bad for baseball. Sports are filled with fans of a team more than the sport. I fear being one of them. I live in the area of the Cactus League and spring training facilities. I fear this organization is destroying my love of baseball.

You fit the profile. I'm not as diseased as other fans. We assume he will leave and get a big contract. Baseball is not predictable. See competitive window. Look how Reinsdorf treated the competitive window. Only cure is root for another team unlike this one.

Statement fits the profile of small market habitually losing fanbase. You assume baseball is so predictable. Let me introduce to 2023 Padres, Mets, Yankees, and the surprise 2023 Cubs. You can always worship the Royals model. Oh wait we are almost 110% there.

It is my conspiracy theory that this was allowed in order to move the team.

Fans like to throw around the word trade but trade for what? Would they end up with someone better? This is always the mindset of fans of small market habitually losing organizations. Poor scouting just creates that vicious circle. Screaming trade is more emotional than rational with fans.

Maybe the artists backed out since careers often go south on the Southside.

Along with the rest of the staff. I'm sure they will scour the Royals organization for someone worse.

That was an assumption. Just more fodder to give fans false hope.

Hard to believe that in 2006, 90 wins came in 3rd and 100 came in 2nd.

Just what this teams needs, more Royals.
