Reckon I’ll ride out West, hold me up a train, get my ass all shot up, die in a creek somewhere.

God: “The Royals will go to 2 World Series in a row and win one of them in spectacular fashion, but they will be terrible again just a few years later.”

I saw it. Now you have to see it. His name is Samuel. And he…is a king.

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle Because of succession, this is the same front office going on 2 decades. Only 11 current GMs are longer tenured than JJ. He’s overseen the drafts since 2022. Not one player has made a measurable impact. Maybe he’s not going but the fact people think he needs more time is wild

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

This Royals team isn’t good but it also shouldn’t be this bad. The hitting coach needs to go. The overactive sentient pile of soggy waffles manager isn’t exempt from blame. At this point, a GM change seems necessary to truly reset.

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle Did not address the root, rearranging the chairs on the deck etc. Making changes around the source of the problem is not a change in philosophy. It’s the same thing it’s always been

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle Many (including me) have been calling for org development changes and an overhaul in hitting coaches. There were always concerns but they doubled down based on good results but never addressed the root. Thats bad leadership

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle Brian Sweeney has been phenomenal. I mostly disagree on bullpen acquisitions because it still ain’t good and last year’s closer season was a fluke. JJ is still getting nothing from the draft. I’ve thought Q is a bad process manager with no personality from the start.

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle So without saying Brian Sweeney, we got nothing. You can credit them for overachieving with the bats just enough, creating optimism but ultimately continuing a trend of piss poor player development

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RyanSublett1 Just don’t know how you keep watching this with last year’s results in mind and say there’s confidence this changes

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@RobDesselle I dunno, man.
The dugout/clubhouse needs a jolt and milQuetoast ain’t it.

Right now what does JJ have to hang his hat on in terms of draft/development? Without saying Brian Sweeney, what has JJ done right?

@tuckerdfranklin @RealMNchiefsfan Whoa pause

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@TheFattyScott yall still up? Been a long time but I might need a Royals victory shot

[Ross Martin @PCBearcat]

@ryan_landreth @BrettRasdall He’s almost 30

[Ryan Landreth @ryan_landreth]

The Royals:
15 caught stealings (t-4th)
7 pickoffs (t-5th)
19 outs on the bases (4th)

Total of 41 outs on the bases in 50 games. Yes, that leads all of baseball.

The organization pledged improvement from last year's atrocious baserunning team. Somehow, they got worse!

@corybrenneman What happen
