Apparently the front office seems to think that telling the hitters stories about pooping in one's pants will cure what ails them.
Colon was an awful pick (even at the time) but Sale and his elbow are a ticking time bomb...
You can say the same for most starters. But most starters aren't aces. And when Sale has Tommy John, nowadays chances are he'll come back just as good as before.
Thank God. Maloof's comments yesterday were the dumbest, most illogical things ever written. Anyone who says things that stupid and counterintuitive needs to be let go. God forebid he is actually teaching players that crap he said (We can't hit homeruns here because of our stadium, but other teams can because they ignore our stadium, etc.).
This is one of the best paragraphs I've read in a long, long time. It's from Joe Posnaski's blog.

Yup; they've changed plenty coaches in the past and still get the same results

OK, when I read his comments last night I was blown away. I'd never seen anything dumber in my life. I think we all were in shock that this moron was our hitting coach.... especially in light of the fact that one of the stated reasons for firing Seitzer was to get into the mindset and swing of hitting more homeruns. At least, for once, the Royals did something midly intelligent and fire this dude. Even Ned Yost and Dayton Moore had to be blown away when they read those ridiculous comments.
This organization is doomed as long as the Glass family is running things. They have bought into the anti-sabermetric approach of the current KC front office (really, KC is pretty much the only MLB team that refuses to take advantage of analytics), which is really stupid since most of those people will tell you a team like KC needs strong scouting and drafts.
i wasnt going to comment till they won, but it took a Jeff Francouer homerun off of a guy with a 10+ era in the 9th to tie a game to get us a win.
George Brett is a world class ******* but if they hit a little for him then so be it. The pitching has stayed good through this stretch so there is hope. Ned Yost is a idiot. and the following sentence hurts to say and I cannot believe i'm writing it, but:
I never thought the Royals would miss Jarod Dyson as much as they have.
Ouch, that hurt.

sure you can if they are OBPing in the mid 300's and higher. None of those guys walk at all either, which is mostly the problem. The Royals are the last team to take on any sort of sabermetric principles. Its because Dayton is a "scouts, scout" and refuses to acknowledge, "those pencil neck nerds that have never played the game"

This was in response to you can't have a bunch of guys hitting under 270 in your lineup

Right when that pitcher came in, my Cardinals-fan buddy immediately said he was going to lose them the game. Gave me a good chuckle :biglaugh:
how would you like to be Mitchel Boggs knowing that Francouer took you deep. Might as well go be a high school baseball coach after that.
If you want to put just how bad the Royals lineup has been in perspective:
