I think---and I'm only kind of joking---the #Royals this year are just trying to make the OBP-first analytics people cry.
I'm only half-joking here, because I do think the Royals are employing the one-size-fits-all version of advanced analytics which doesn't account for the situation.
Fuck you Alex Lange. I could have hit that shitty pitch. Fucking loser. #Royals
#FireSomeone
Alex Lange is a Monarchs player who got lost and accidentally ended up with #Royals.
That 3-1 pitch to Maikel was so indicative of our problems right now. Maikel was looking for a pitch to pull and that wasn't it, so he took it. But he could have served it the other way to tie the game. #Royals
Worst bullpen in baseball. #Royals
Pasquatch officially unemployed #royals
Schreiber? Oh so we're giving UP giving up. #Royals
Fuck you Schreiber. Please demand to be traded. Fans will help you move. #ROYALS
Schreiber? Hard to be optimistic, no?
#Royals #FireSomeone,prettyPlease?
Thomas is an imbecile. These guys act like they’ve never played a baseball game before. #Royals
Erceg nibbled like a minnow. He has good stuff, but tried to be too fine. That’s coaching. #Royals
I get the 'don't blame the bullpen when the bats failed all night' feeling, but it doesn't matter if it's 1-0, 5-4, or 11-10. A one-run lead in the ninth is a one-run lead in the ninth and it's the closer's job to not give up that lead. Erceg needs to come through there. #Royals
My goodness the #Royals are horrible.
Stop nibbling please. #royals
This is so painful. Erceg choking. The entire #Royals lineup stranding runners. First base ump missing swings. Just painful.
Major league umpires are trash. #Royals should have bases loaded…again… yeah, fuck it it wouldn’t make a difference.
Was that a busted hit and run? Because Maikel was out by a mile on a mediocre throw. #Royals
The #Royals are the only team that gets worse when the bases are loaded. That takes skill.
Why run Garcia in front of Witt? Goddamn, the #Royals play incredibly stupid baseball.
Assuming the picture is legit, I can't think of anything better engineered to cause the evangelical right to rethink its support of Netanyahu.
This is up there with our troops burning the Quran in terms of dumb things to do.
The Weekend in Review is always free to everyone. I wrote a little about the games, but dove in deeper on the Salvy stuff from the weekend too. I even begrudgingly gave a #Royals player of the week.

‘How dare The Atlantic accuse me of drinking on the job. I’m gonna sue you as soon as I find some Tylenol and a couple Bloody Mary’s…’
Abortion is health care. Red states banned health care. And women suffered and died as a result.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
I’m trying to understand the new business culture in America where the needs of customers are not only held in contempt, but the main driver seems to be making every product and service worse and increasingly inefficient.
Dear Tampa Bay Lightening fans,
You have 14 Canadian players on your roster, which is the largest nationality of all players on the team.
So your USA chants during the game is really fucking stupid!
Go Habs 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
Most of America’s problems stem from it’s refusal to deal with it’s core racism and it’s promotion of income inequality. And little will be fixed until we address both.
