@NickPriceKC The lesson to be learned. Let the player experience failure in the minors when pitchers adjust to him. Once he overcomes that adjustment he is more prepared to have a successful big league start.

@DaveSin94685521 @royalsreview Thomas leads the team in OBP. He should have value.

@blazesports10 Name your rotation if Lugo, Wacha, or both are traded. It typically takes at least 8 starters to make it through a season.

[Trey & Lea's Stronger Marriages @StrongMarriage5]

Long healthy marriages don't happen because of luck, they are made by compromise, patience, forgiveness and not giving up.

Love has never been a matter of luck, but hard work.

@FlannyMLB @Drizzy_Dru29 I miss your thorough in depth coverage and the questions you asked which resulted in thought provoking answers.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@FlannyMLB Congratulations on your 18 month journey. Also, prayers your way. I hope you have great medical care. It's another tough battle but you'll beat the cancer. Cheers.

@ryancrist86 Collins .335 OBP would have been 3rd among Royal regulars in 2025 and is 3rd this year behind Witt and Cags.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@Koreanfan_KC Me too!

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@OMAStormChasers He Slshould be in KC.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@DontFireSpags And, at the time, he was considered for the second best of the 2 pitchers we acquired.

@rock_climber02 @rationalyankee Do players want to include money they make outside of actual games? T V commercials, brand endorsements, etc.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@rationalyankee And athletes do commercials and make money in a variety of ways.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@royalsminors @Drizzy_Dru29 Most MLB teams want to see how a player adjusts over a full season. Hitters will adjust to him. Royals may want to see how he reacts to those adjustments.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@royalsminors Also hits right handed. Royals don't have many RH hitting OFers.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@rock_climber02 @Ben_Yoel Amen.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@SasquatchVinnie @TJStats Only 2 in the top 12. Sigh.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@SportsRadio810 Great interview, as always, with Les Norman. I'd love him to weigh in on something John Schuerholz used to say about failure in the minors. He said it was important to overcome failure in the minors. Pitchers adjust to good hitters. He wanted to see how hitters reacted to those adjustments.

[Tomi Lahren @TomiLahren]

If everyone in the world wrote down their problems, would you risk drawing someone else’s or keep your own?

Gratitude.

[Mike Taylor @85royal]

@Swoleup2 @Drizzy_Dru29 You missed the sarcasm.
