This is the gooch.

This is what has me scratching my head at people calling for Q to be fired. Does he make headscratching decisions? Yeah he does, but so did Ned, and there were people here that wanted to move from him too. The grass isn't always greener.

The future is exciting for baseball in KC!

So if we clinch tonight, who are the sacrificial lambs that eat all the innings this weekend?

Good morning! This is gonna be a great day!

Everybody has their own expectations out of a manager. I think baseball lends itself more than other sports to the armchair guy. Every manager is hired only to get fired unless they have sustained success, which is typically out of their hands.

Joe Torre couldn’t do dick in Atlanta or St. Louis, and he became a HOF manager after he got to manage legit HOFers and borderline HOFers. And the whole world was in awe! How does this guy manage this supernatural team every year!?! Oh, he finally came into his own as a manager….

Q is not perfect…. His bullpen was SHIT for most of the season. Players got hurt, not anyone in the system to play that could keep things going…. Yet, they did just keep winning. Garcia sucks, Frazier sucks, Hampson sucks, Renfroe, MJ, Nelson, and all the blah, blah….

This team won 56 games last year. We’re on the brink of the playoffs, but no guarantee. But what a year it’s been!

Hampson.

The only complaints that I have are:

1) He doesn't use the bunt more to move runners over into scoring positions

2) H continues to put guys out there that are just not cutting it (Melendez, pick a name from the bullpen, etc)

I am happy he has guided the team to where they are now, but sometimes I wish I had a teleporter so I could get into the dugout and smack him upside the head.

bruh

nice to wake up to a twins loss man

today should be a fun game

After watching Andy Reid for a decade, you would think Chiefs fans would apply the lessons with him to every other team they watch. Does he do stupid things? Yes. Does he learn from many of those things? Sometimes! Can you usually point out 2-3 times in a game where you scratch your head and wonder what is running through his mind? Absolutely. But we have 3 super bowls in 5 years and after watching other teams it could absolutely be much worse on the coaching front.

At the end of the day you have to evaluate a coach on some basic things. Do they get the most out of the talent they have? Is there little drama in the locker room? Do you believe the team achieved expectations or exceeded them for what talent they had? Did they generally come to play every game and represent the city and team well? If the answer is yes to all of these questions, and it is for Reid, then you have to just accept that this is as good as you can get and every coach is going to have some strategic mistakes at some point. Nobody is perfect. Q falls into this category so far. Is he perfect? No. But you can’t deny he checks off all the big boxes that are needed to be successful so far.

LMAO

It was an “incredible” game

Can't wait for playoff baseball again (especially since I've hardly seen any games this year due to the shitty TV contract).

Looks like it's pretty much done raining in Atlanta. We're popping champagne tonight
