Blessed in more ways than I can count or mention. Grateful to be a husband to Lisa, a dad to Noah, an employee of AE and saved by Christ.

@Ernie_Webb_3 Starters are solid, no doubt. Also have three or four exceptional fielders. That’s it. Bullpen sucks. Base running sucks. Situational hitting sucks. Clutch hitting sucks. Manager sucks. Coaches suck. That doesn’t equate to .500 to me, but maybe a new staff could change fortunes.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Pulling Cameron after seven innings and 87 pitches was the first head-scratcher. Why use this awful bullpen more than necessary?

Sending Erceg out for the ninth was foolish and cruel.

The Royals are terrible. Their manager might be worse.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

@Ernie_Webb_3 Talent is average at best. Bobby is elite. The rest? All have issues offensively — too young, too old or just too overmatched or inconsistent.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

I hope everyone has someone in their life as loyal as Matt Quatraro is to Lucas Erceg.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Who could have possibly seen that coming?

God bless Rex Hudler. He just perfectly summed up the #Royals’ latest loss in one word:

“Uncle.”

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Well, I suppose the Royals at least cut last night’s losing deficit in half. Not exactly progress, but that’s all I’ve got.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Somehow, the Red Sox and Giants have worse offenses than the Royals. Hard to fathom.

JV not doing too good against the varsity tonight. #Royalsblow

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

What could Sweeney possibly have said during that last mound visit? “Start by chucking a fastball right down the middle to this dude?”

Once again, the Royals just aren’t good enough, in large part because Vinnie and Salvy suck with RISP.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Pathetic at-bats from Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Looked like they’d never seen Hicks.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

There can’t be a worse base-running team in all of MLB. What a clown show.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

As good as he is defensively, Isbel should play against righties and lefties.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Vinnie sucks with runners in scoring position. There’s no doubt about that.

But Quatraro owns this, too. How long will he continue pencilling Vinnie into the No. 3 slot without giving it a second thought?

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Jensen is a problem defensively. Might be becoming a problem offensively, too.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Shouldn’t Matt Quatraro experiment with the batting order? It’s probably moving deck chairs on the Titanic, but how long can you keep hitting Vinnie No. 3? Move up Jensen. Move up Cags. Try Bobby, Jensen, Garcia and Cags in the 1-4 spots. Try something. Anything.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Wondered the same thing.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Apparently, Lynch was doing too good. Q can’t have that. Schreiber should be able to blow this.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Did the Royals get screwed on Alonzo’s at-bat. Probably.

But if you strand a thousand runners and your closer can’t or won’t throw strikes, you don’t deserve success.

[Tim Bisel @timbisel]

Erceg struck out Alonzo twice even though he can’t throw strikes.
