If it wasn’t for 2 seasons we would be the worst team in the 4 major sports. Pathetic franchise

Around the League: There are no other games!

Taken 12 years ago before I headed off to the game. Still gives me chills.

Source 1 – Jeremy Greco (Hokius on Royals Review):

The Royals demoted their mental performance coach Melissa Lambert. They also fired members of the training staff, including head athletic trainer Kyle Turner.

Picollo is blaming the World Baseball Classic for the Royals' slow start.

Picollo conceded that the Royals don't really have a potential closer right now.

Picollo said that his intended roster, for 2027, has Vinnie Pasquantino at 1st base and Jac Caglianone playing right field. The Royals want to improve at left field and center field this offseason.

Picollo said that the Royals are open to making difficult trades. They will be seeking players who can help now, not prospects. Picollo specifically noted that no one is necessarily off the table in trade discussions.

RHP Tony Gonsolin is likely to remain with the Royals next year.

Picollo said that Alec Zumwalt wasn't removed as hitting coach because they were dissatisfied with his job; it was always part of their plan to move him back to the front office eventually.

The Royals were happy enough with Marcus Thames and Connor Dawson to make them the lead hitting coaches for 2027.

I read about the firings of the Athletic Training staff due to "too many injuries and slow rehabs" and thought to myself: why are athletic trainers even handling these duties? They certainly aren't rehab specialists and aren't even close to as qualified to assess underlying biomechanical issues and kinestetic movement patters when compared to a Dr. of Physical Therapy. We are talking the difference between an undergraduate degree (2 years of actual study in the field) vs. a Doctorates and 1-2 years of working the equivalent of a medical resident (usually as a tech), which is an additional 4.5 years of classroom work, and much more relevant clinic work once practicing.

For example, athletic trainers are not allowed to recieve medical full certification with Titlelist's golf performance institute due to their incomplete knowledge of how the body works and the chances that they'll introduce injury to a golfer by making them do a movement they can't do.

Yet, an MLB team with it's vast resources can't hire a qualified medical staff? It makes no sense.

I colored the wins in green and losses in red during this season.

Pitching is dead last in WAR

Nice
