    Based on what I've seen I don't understand how the royals aren't in playoff contention lol

    Maton is kind of a joke....Baker's choice of pitching, combined with LOB has killed us.

    nothing has been improved since the trade deadline. if anything, the team got worse.

    Start playing like the better team against these bad record franchises. It's no longer cute.

    Dusty's Reds went on a late season collapse while Dusty continually claimed there was no need for concern. Dusty was fired later.

    Knot in stomach when I see Taylor, Raley and even Stanek (annoying watching him stroke is long hair after every pitc,concentrate on pitching).

    We've been very lucky to still have a lead with a 18-16 record since All-Star break. The A's with 18 wins and around 15, or 16 losses. Except we played Twins, Royals 2x in series and the A's played playoff contenders. I don't know how Toothpick keeps putting the same lineup over and over again. Their pitchers just studies the lineup knowing what we going to bring. Can't you put Correa sometimes 2nd at-bat, or put Yordan 2nd at-bat, or even put J.Meyer batting 2nd. Way too many 4+ ERA opposing pitchers pitch like Cy Young candidates. It is like the Kubiak playbook.
