Its NOT good he felt like McConnell. That's Jerry saying he has no idea what he's doing.

Sounds like this is even more of a disaster than I thought it would be.

Good for them. Can't wait to see Gio regain 4 mph on his fastball and improve his command.

We're absolutely getting The Royals Way™. I can't wait for the s%*# show press conference. I wonder if someone is gonna get shot at it because someone smuggled a gun in between their butt cheeks.

OK well they won. Good recovery by Santos.

Super interested to hear Getz's philosophy and how he's going to run the org. If it's all Royals retread based and "culture" and "'14/'15 Royals" as I expect I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

Sosa has been better lately but his swing is SO LONG

I think they can fix the GB rate (well, SOMEONE can... who knows if these bozos can), so I'm cautiously optimistic with him.

Yeah I noticed that too. Awkward swings on the outer third against lefties - even if he makes contact it'd be a soft grounder or popup somewhere.

Colas with no chance there. He needs to figure out how to be effective against tougher lefties.

It'd be nice if the Sox showed up for more than once every three games. It's a bonus if the opposing starter throws 90 over the center of the plate all the time as well.

Without that miserable first inning Cease wasn't bad today. Hopefully something clicked from the second inning on.

Robert says "don't forget about me!" Feel bad for Gibson, getting slammed by this team.

None of us were shot by the Fupa Assassin.

I like sixdegreesofcaulfield.com more.

They can't cut Colas unless they're going to spend in RF.

For 1, I think we covered it already - Jerry got sold on the '14-'15 Royals, who were built cheaply with a dynamite bullpen and lots of prospect luck. They also played the game "hard" or "the right way" or whatever. This of course ignores the 30 years of ineptitude surrounding those successful years.

Jerry's bought into the 2014/2015 Royals run 100%. They fit how he wants to run the org perfectly, so he's ignoring the 30 years of ineptitude surrounding that 2 year run.

Offense carried over a lot from the last two games I see

This is the kind of start Cease should’ve had

They can show up for one game a series I guess

Sox are the worst team in the AL now

Sox have an absolutely pathetic pitching staff. They've got a LONG road to go to get an MLB caliber rotation and bullpen.
