I'm not getting bent out of shape over this franchise anymore. That feeling has passed like a bad kidney stone.

I guess I'll point this out. Really? Are you this dumb?

To be fair, he has owned the team technically for 14 years... however, after Mr. Kauffman passed he was the leader of the Board that ran the club as interim owners until he sold to himself....

At this point, is it honestly a reach to say that the Omaha lineup could be any worse than the KC lineup?

Yes, cause Moustakas is in the Omaha lineup.

Well, come on. He's somewhat right. He's been the Chairman and CEO since 1993. He became sole owner in 2000, but this team has been under his leadership since then (over 20 years). So, let's not act like what he said is just monumentally reeruned.

This is what happens when a Team ignores the tend in baseball towards valuing ops and obp. Gmdm either refuses or isn't smart enough to make the change to modern baseball analytics thereby overvaluing his sense of a players "skills" through the eye test, stats of yesteryear, or grit.

This has been pointed out by Rany for years now. I'd rather have the dermatologist extraordinaire running this team through science and numbers than GMDM and his crew of outdated clowns.

Adding to that, I think if these guys had come up through a system that stressed strike zone management, they'd be much better hitters.

Nelson Cruz vs the Royals......Who hits more HR's this season?

Current Tally:
Nelson Cruz: 17

KC Bitch Tits: 20

Should be a battle to the end.

I believe it's been a week and a half since our last homer, correct?

That's pretty pathetic.

At some point you have to make a change, and the manager is always the first to fall on the sword. You can't fire all the players, and GMDM will make a decision at some point to try to save his own job.

Hey now, don't be dissing my Stros. We sometimes have 3 legitimate MLB STARTERS! LMAO
