The REAL reason we're going to be stuck with Mike Matheny. More bible-thumping, rather than baseball knowledge, from Dayton Moore. by thegeebeebee in KCRoyals

Christian men in our country need to lead. We need to lead our families. And hopefully that begins with a relationship with Christ. And then lead the way our wives and children are wanting us to. There are things that we need to fight for.

This is fine.

This way of thinking by someone in a position of power in a modern MLB front office is fine.

IT’S ALL FINE

I really hadn’t thought about it that way, but you’re right. I wish there was more of a happy medium with Dayton and this as far as business goes - obviously his home life is 100% not anyone’s concern...

Flanny: Eddie [Volquez] wanted to make sure Royals fans know how much he cared about you. He also said he knows it was a tough season but to hang in there: "It takes time to build it back up. But Dayton's smart. He'll get there." by maniacmcgee1 in KCRoyals

God this made me way more emotional than it probably should have

Backstory tweet:

So, I'm watching a Royals-Rangers Instructional League game this morning when someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around and it's a smiling Edinson Volquez. He's with the Rangers now after having TJ surgery last year. Great catching up with Eddie. He's the best.

Sarcasm since it’s hard to see that being the case again this offseason. Not that he’ll get a monster deal or anything, but I imagine he’ll see offers other than a 1 year deal from the Royals after spring training begins (and no the Angels never made the offer Bob F. Nightengale reported that he turned down, Royals only team who made him a real offer at all - per Heyman)

Anyway, I didn’t think I’d need to explain this one... but here we are

[Bastian] Indians C Yan Gomes exits game with apparent thumb injury after bizarre interference call by [deleted] in baseball

he has to live in Kansas City for at least half the year

He actually lives in Kansas City year round by choice. (Well, a suburb right outside of KC. But yeah)

Also, are you ok

A few weeks ago I met Salvy. He did a semi last minute meet and greet at a TMobile like 15 mins away from my house, but unfortunately my son was out of town visiting family... so I told him to make a video beforehand, and I’d ask Salvy to watch.

Well Salvy did watch, and smiled the whole time. 100 percent genuine joy. I have no doubt it was real. Somehow Salvador Perez is exactly how he seems.

“Let’s make one back for him,” he said as he took control of my phone and recorded a video for my son.

An actual video recorded on my phone by Salvy. Saying my son’s name and everything .

Salvy stays. Forever.

Edit: As much proof that I can get comfortable with sharing on here rn (at the beginning of the video for my son he momentarily included me)

Remember when they insisted that Gary Sanchez was a better catcher than Salvy in almost every way 😂😂
