2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

Daniel Lynch (rotator cuff strain) was scheduled for a bullpen today in AAA. #Royals have TBA listed as Sunday's starter in KC. Seems like Lynch is lined up for that spot.
Brad Keller (shoulder soreness) is scheduled for a bullpen tomorrow. No return timeline for him yet.
Fucking Jordan Lyles is such absolute trash it's ridiculous. 11 starts 0-8 7.30 ERA, he has to be DFA'd for Lynch, right? They cant continue running a dude out there that has a 7.3 ERA. In his 11 starts, starting with the most recent (tonight) he's allowed 5, 4, 7, 4, 6, 7, 4, 3, 4, 5, and 1 earned run. That's fucking pathetic.
I'd rather literally anyone in the minors be up pitching instead of this hunk of shit. How in the fuck has this guy been in the majors for 13 years.
Why in the ever living fuck did we give this shit stain a 2 year $17 million deal. That shit is ridiculous. [Reply]

The guy simply must have the best agent ever. Hes always sucked. His entire life. And hes made 51 million. Just amazing. Good for him.
It's unbelievable and KC gave him his biggest contract ever at 32.5 years old and he's rewarding with -0.8 WAR as well as being one of the worst pitchers in the league! Yay! [Reply]
A big frustration this year is that our pitchers seem incapable of stringing together a 1-2-3 inning the half inning after our offense comes alive. [Reply]
As one of the unfortunate few souls out there that is both a Royals and Nats fan (I still watch at least a little of each game of both teams because apparently I hate myself), I am at least enjoying this ridiculous scoring game. [Reply]
