@kingdom_royals It’s Erceg that he continues to run out there to close and earlier it was Estevez. Both analytics and the eye test should tell you they can’t close games for you. Loyalty or insanity is going to get Q fired!

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@SasquatchVinnie We need to find a different pitcher to coach our hitters.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@jazayerli On a positive note: last night they lost by 2 touchdowns and tonight only 1!

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@kingdom_royals @HitStickHicks The Royals hitters regress. And the “young prospects” reach the big leagues and never live up to the hype. Not all on Zumwalt but someone has to be accountable for the lack of production the last 2 years.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@royalsreview Don’t like your role then the Best way to increase your role is to perform when given the opportunity. With last nights performance he’s going to be lucky to be signed to a mlb contract.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@kingdom_royals This is what is most concerning, that they either can’t judge ability (or lack of in the case) or that we have nothing better better options in the minors. Either way, it’s not good.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@KCBurner1738 Alarming that he can’t recognize that Falter has shown he can’t get mlb hitters out or that they have nothing better in AA or AAA. Either way, we’re in trouble.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@royalsminors One of the most concerning comments from Q last night: “Falter has good stuff and will need to get back out there.” This is a sign that they can’t recognize lack of ability to get outs or that we have nothing better to put in his place. Either way, it’s not good.

@klseaboldt You could pull anyone off of the street to manage the way Q manages. Everything by the analytics, no feel for who is hot. Lynch threw 8 pitches and is your best pitcher, leave him in over the guy who threw 32 last night and struggled!

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@royalsminors Our track record of developing/improving hitters is not good but worth a look.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@royalsminors When you anticipate him getting a chance in KC? We have several veterans with 1-2 years left, does he get here that quickly?

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@AlexGold @BrettRasdall When your struggling to score runs you can’t give away outs on the bases like the Royals do

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@kingdom_royals @HitStickHicks Maybe we should find a different pitcher to coach our hitters.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@ryan_landreth They’ll pinch hit for him his next at bat and sit him tomorrow

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@SasquatchVinnie @HitStickHicks 2 hits tonight- they will pinch hit for him next at bat and give him the day off tomorrow

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@mickshaffer If the plan is to platoon Cags, was that a bad pick at 6 overall? I can’t imagine picking someone 6th to platoon.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@LxLxFredo @SSJWHB True but I think Cags gives you the best chance to win and playing Thomas is not an upgrade. No way we’re a better team with Thomas over Cags in the lineup. If that’s the case play the young guy and give him an occasional break with Thomas.

[Mark Lyford @mlyf40]

@LxLxFredo @SSJWHB If our top draft picks are platoon players we will never win. Shouldn’t draft them that high if they are only going to play against RHP
