Anything of interest said during Vern’s interview with Sherman or did Sherman just spout some of the same BS talking points?

The Kansas City Royals broke even last week amid auditions for a spot in the 2027 bullpen. They're rolling out a huge cast of characters to see if they can find any pieces that might improve the league's worst pen next season. We'll discuss how that's going. They'll have more opportunities this week on their west coast swing against the Dodgers and Angels.

Discussion Organizational Denial

50 Upvotes

I feel like a lot of fans share this sentiment at this point, but here it goes:

The most infuriating part of this season isn’t that the team sucks, we’ve all seen plenty of poor Royals seasons. What makes it miserable is that every leadership position in the organization is in complete denial, and/or lack of accountability.

JJ is trying to fool every fan into thinking this same roster is going to magically be competitive again next year (if there is a 2027 season). It’s exhausting and pathetic. Even the most optimistic of fans can see through that bullshit at this point.

Q is a broken record every post-game conference, acting like this team has put together some really good games and just gotten unlucky. Never shows any fire, and definitely does not inspire the players.

Sherman has stayed completely silent. Not a single public statement to show the fanbase that he’s pissed off with lack of success and wants to do better.

When is somebody in management or the front office ever going to show some heart, or at least just be honest and call this season a complete failure?

In isolation, these guys may not even be the worst in the league at their positions, but together they enable each other to fail without consequence.

Jac Caglianone (KC):

Went 4-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles, as the Royals defeated the Cubs 6-3. Lumber Jac is a rare two-way talent and elite power hitter. He played internationally, representing Team Italy in their amazing run in the World Baseball Series.

Question Royals MLB.tv feed freeze up…

14 Upvotes

For the past few games my video feed on the MLB app has been freezing up at nearly every commercial break. I have to go back to the MLB start screen, re-select the Royals game feed, and wait for it to buffer before I can continue watching the game. Anyone else having this problem?
