Yes, and, probably 3 years too many, IMO.

I'm tired of that short bus monkey. He's an awful GM, and I think that is tough to debate otherwise.

There shouldn't be all that much rebuilding needed. All jokes about the "best farm system ever" aside, we do still have an awful lot in the low and mid minors, and our international minor league players could be really nice. If we went with a new GM after 2014 or 2015, he should have quite a bit to work with.

If they continue to tank this season and don't clean house afterward, I'm going to bite the bullet and start rooting for an NL team. It won't be the Cardinals, but I can't take any more of this shit. I was born a month after they won the series. Some of you older guys have at least experienced what it's like to cheer for a winning baseball team. I've only ever experienced loss and heartbreak...it's ****ing taxing. When defeat becomes the expected norm and it's all you've ever known, that's an abusive relationship...and it's very quickly becoming one that I have less qualms about ending.

You're more than welcome to start rooting for the Cardinals and posting in the Cards thread. Passionate baseball fans are always appreciated.

The Royals have plenty of passionate baseball fans. All we want to for our team to love us as much as we love it.

'Hamas' Jenkins 05-06-2014 02:45 PM

I have a question about the Royals' hitting approach:

What is their organizational philosophy? Do they want their hitter to be patient or attack the first hittable pitch? Also, do they want their hitters to pull the ball if it's in the middle or further in, or do they want their hitters to wait until the ball is deep into the zone to drive it the other way?

Thanks.

I'll come into the thread, grab him by the hair, and drag him back to the Royals, cave-man style.

Don't come in my neighborhood and start winking at my bitches.

I think that can be assumed given the name of this website, our presence on it, their history, and the ownership status of said team.

The problem with Dayton failing is Glass. He's a ****, but he's upped the payroll for Moore and he's done nothing with it. I can't see him giving another GM anything to work with.

Seitzer was up the middle, gap to gap.

Great approach. Perfect approach. However, he, allegedly, didn't get along with Moose and Hosmer.

Currently, I'm not aware of a guiding organizational philosophy; it's a cluster****.

The Royals are the Ike Turner of the American League.

What's the actual truth, here? I've heard that he didn't get along with Yost. Then I heard he didn't get along with Moore. Now he didn't get along with Moose and Hosmer? The **** is going on here?

The National League isn't real baseball.
