Well, once you consider that we are also one of the worst teams in baseball, the fact you presented isn't as big a deal as it would originally seem. So we've got that going for us, which is nice. [Reply]

I'm ( most Royals fans are too ) equally frustrated about losing as you are, but to act like an ass about it is just not the way to go.
Like you, I do not like Matheny as our MGR! But FO is not going to let him go until it becomes apparent he is not capable of taking the team any farther. With the young talent in the Minor's around the corner, GMDM is going to be patient to let that talent develop.
Face it George, this team wasn't going to contend this year! Next year is a possibility, but this team has to learn how to win and let the younger guys develop in the process.
Matheny was the wrong type of coach for the Royals. He was the absolute worst in developing and managing young talent. Ruin so many players. His my way or the highway approach was toxic. Maybe he changed, but doesn’t sound like it. Sorry you guys have to deal with him. Wouldn’t wish him on anyone. [Reply]

He was, literally I know of NO ROYALS fan that wanted that pick for our MGR. [Reply]

Maybe let him pitch more than 2 innings in his career before writing him off? [Reply]
