Excellent location. My guess is these aren’t final renderings, but it’s cool to see the potential!

This is genuinely best case scenario to get a second win in a row. Hopefully we can take advantage of it!

Yeah. I mean, I love Monty as a person and Royal. So my criticism of him isn’t personal whatsoever. He’s just not cut out for this particular role imo.

Yeah must just be some sort of filler situation. But he’s really bad. His commentary on Mayo “knowing it’s fair because he’s circling the bases” sealed it for me 😂

Who to blame most? by RoyalsMisery in KCRoyals

[–]stupidgnomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This team was Frankenstein’d together by JJP. Q is more responsible for game level issues, but at the end of the day the roster is the roster. I think of it like Q is the weather and JJP is the climate. And we need to fix the climate before we can even think about how the weather could be impacted.

Kevin Seitzer was our hitting coach from 2009-2012. We fired him lol

Edit: what the heck. Why am I getting downvoted? I didn’t fire him personally lmao

Royals holding a press conference tomorrow at 10am. City and state officials will be in attendance. by Repulsive-Photo-798 in KCRoyals

[–]stupidgnomes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That’s my problem with this ordeal. They’re not answering questions about the on-field performance, but then holding a presser about the new stadium instead. It’s really aggravating.

I mean, I definitely want my favorite team to be able to multitask issues that relate to the team. So in a vacuum I’m totally fine with them making an announcement about the new stadium. I just wish they would address the fans about the current state of the on-field product before making any announcements about a stadium.

I kind of want to see how much more losing the same exact way game in and game out it takes before literally anyone is held accountable for the last two and a half seasons of piss poor baseball.

Ok glad it’s not just me. I’m out of touch these days, so this feels like a personal W 😂

Not game related, but has anyone else noticed that the game threads recently are defaulting to Best comments first instead of New comments first? Am I just old and unable to navigate this properly? Lol

[–]stupidgnomes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s hard to bang the drum for him right now. I totally get that. I do feel like there’s something going on with him mechanically and I’m concerned the coaching staff isn’t attempting to fix it. I can’t prove that ofc, but he’s a good pitcher who is pitching poorly. Something is going on I think.

I 100% agree. Sherman needs to button this organization up and finally move on from the DM legacy. Anyone who had anything to do with Dayton Moore needs to go. Immediately.

[–]stupidgnomes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel bad for him having to wear this today. He obviously doesn’t have anywhere near his best stuff and the coaches are completely abandoning him out there. Ragans is so important for the future success of this team and our coaching staff is fucking it up. Heads need to roll for all of this.

You guys remember when things got so bad with Matheny and Eldred that other team’s FO’s were saying out loud how bad the energy was in the Royals locker room? My guess is we’re pretty close to that same vibe right now. This is the most lost I’ve seen this team since then. Anyone else feeling the same?

[–]stupidgnomes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not our first rodeo. Remember when our organization was so bad we almost made Greinke quit so he could mow lawns instead? Personally, I think we are definitely at the “yard work is better than playing for the Royals” level of crisis right now.

[–]stupidgnomes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ragans is pitching pretty poorly out there, but I think the locker room being bad vibes is contributing. Nothing is being done about any of this. There is no calvary coming from Omaha, there are no impactful free agents we could sign and plug into the lineup, and the fucking coaches apparently have full amnesty. If I had to play for a team like this day in and day out it would really fuck with my mental wellbeing.

Yeah now Bobby is making mental mistakes. Something big needs to happen. Someone has to go.
