I can't believe people are anything but heartbroken for Alex Smith. That's one of the best dudes that has ever worn a Chiefs uniform. He repped KC with the best of them and handed the torch to Mahomes in as classy and professional of a way as possible. Devastated for him.

The Orioles and Royals were baseball’s two worst teams in 2018.

I am a Royals fan. But they're not good enough to pull off the "if we don't get our way we're out of here!" card. We don't care, John. Play at the K or take your corrupt mustache elsewhere. The town with Patrick Mahomes will be just fine without 61-101 on repeat every summer.

Dayton Moore has 3 winning seasons in 16 years and this is pacing to be his worst team yet. He can’t draft. His free agency signings suck. His trades are awful. He mismanages the roster and plays favorites based on faith and family. He’s horrendous at his job. Move on.

It's beating a dead horse at this point, but I want to know why the Royals are starting both Jorge Soler and Hunter Dozier, the AL's worst two players, in the outfield while refusing to call up Edward Olivares, who is obliterating AAA pitching. It truly doesn't make any sense.

The Royals could have traded Whit Merrifield at the midway point of 2019 and gotten a ton. He had just signed a 4 year/16 mil extension at age 30, 2x AL hit leader, 2x AL stolen base leader. Instead, they kept him to "contend" and are 72 games under .500 since, and he blows now.

You can’t pay Tyrann Mathieu. And it’s not because he’s not worthy of it. This team needs so many changes made and they can’t afford to tie down a huge batch of more cash on one player. Thank him for his three great years and, god forbid, draft a quality player to replace him.

The Royals not trading Whit Merrifield is one of the biggest mistakes of the Dayton Moore era. It never made any sense to keep him. He was a star for 90-loss team after 90-loss team. He could have instead brought you big pieces for the future.

The 2023 World Series consists of two of three worst teams in baseball from just two years ago.
When the Royals tell you it takes years and years to rebuild, don’t listen to them. It’s very possible to execute it much faster. You just need competence, which the Royals lack.

Also, Royals fans should want to see Whit Merrifield traded so he can actually play in the playoffs. There aren’t many players in baseball that deserve to play for a contender more than Whit. He deserves so much better than the Royals. Trading him is best for all parties.

Dave Eiland was with the Royals from 2011-17. Their bullpen ERA AL rankings those years: 8th, 4th, 1st, 5th, 1st, 3rd, 9th. All other years in the Dayton Moore era: 15th, 8th, 11th, 15th, 15th, 15th, 14th, 6th, 11th, 15th.

The Tigers were 47-114 in 2019. All of their young talent is coming together.

I’m sick of the radio guys saying “The Royals were never going to win this year, so fans shouldn’t be upset with every loss.” I’m so tired of this team’s incompetence being excused. Expecting improvement 5 years into a rebuild should NOT be a ridiculous ask. 18-51 is outrageous.

Justin Herbert missed Keenan Allen for what would have been a game-sealing TD. He went 3-and-out on a pivotal drive that wound up being the final 3 plays of the Chargers’ season. He’s 25-25 now in 50 career games. 0 playoff Ws. At some point, you are what your stats say you are.
