ugly ugly weekend...i was happy to see that the Royals were on the FS1 game of the week on Sat, my happiness lasted about 10 mins. I live in NM so i don't get to see them much. They have to shake up this team. With Soler and Dozier back to back in the lineup it's 2 outs. Hell i would put Lopez in front of them. Bring up Whit, totally agree with your ideas with Soler and Dozier (it is time). I really like your writing. With the short season last year and our record this year, can you combine the numbers on some of players (pitchers and hitters) and see where they stand.

Yes, something is wrong in Denmark. Something stinks. A key time in the history of the Royals, as to whether this next wave will eventually work. This current configuration of the major league roster and the coaching, and pitching and hitting coaching at at least the major league level, has been found wanting. The handwriting is on the wall. The key now, for Dayton and his most trusted aides, is to figure out what changes need to be made, the sooner the better, to give us the best chance to be competitive in 2022 or 2023. Who do we hope have the best chance to be our our major league roster then, and what can we do to best get them ready. Like the year that we brought up Hosmer and Moose, knowing it would take them some time to adjust to success at the major league level, but wanting to start that process, to start the year or two it would take to get from there to playoffs. Big, important questions. Finding the best answers will determine whether we blow this next wave of good pitchers and hitters. Please help us Lord!

I have been advocating these same moves for weeks. Putting Soler in the 2hole is just for showcasing. I still don't think he brings anything in a trade. Dozier is lost and.needs a season break. Maybe he can be salvaged for the future.

All good thoughts - and can we fire Terry Bradshaw while we're at it please.

What are your thoughts on Dayton Moore? I see a lot of people complain about him but I feel he has given us a World Series, great farm system, talent that has not lived up to expectation this season but that is not his fault. Do you think he is a problem or no?
