The protected pick might not be that hard to obtain. This team is getting steadily worse and the FO appears to be ok with it happening. Maybe they are thinking ahead too.

Still scratching my head on the Morales thing.

They better be thinking ahead to 2015.

I said earlier I would hang tough tonight......I lied.

I said it then, and it still doesn't make sense. The only explanation is they were lying when they said they thought we could still compete. If they thought we still had a shot then Morales would've helped. Of course they didn't know that MM would get hurt the next day either. Since the Morales signing we have been awful. It's a mixture of MM's injury and the fact that they basically told the team this just isn't our year.

I'd say Wash should have a team meeting but most are on the DL.

One positive note. We have lowered ESPN Sunday Night ratings.

Outside of making a miracle happen by making the playoffs, a bright spot would be to look back at an unlucky season knowing we can sign a pitcher without losing our 1st round pick. There will be some solace in that after a disaster of a season. Just my opinion though.

But MM wasn't hitting anyway and Morales would have mostly DHd. JD offered him a peddling 3 mil he knew Morales would reject.

That was awesome how they just showed 5 balls coming out of Yu's hand at the same time. I've never seen that before. Very cool.

You don't have to preach to me. I was one of the only ones pushing for us to sign Morales. I really think JD knew we weren't going to compete.

People need to adopt the Kansas City Royal fan mindset for the rest of the year. We're going to lose and we might as well just look for minor things to enjoy that don't relate to the outcome of the game. Easier said than done..... But injuries have destroyed this team in a way we haven't seen before.

@Evan_P_Grant: FYI: Carlos Pena homered and is 2-for-2 tonight for Round Rock.

I hope the front office is ready to move on from Mitch. If he's back next year, something is wrong with this organization.

 

[Justinkm83]

Snyder is pathetic, and shouldn't be on this team.

 

[Duane1952]

Snyder needs to go back to the minors and stay there.

 

[Justinkm83]

There's no doubt he is a better hitter and 1B than Snyder.

He ended up 2-4 w/ a BB and HR. Batting .353 overall

Pena isn't going to help this team. No one player is. Sorry to say.

Need to call him up anyway, probably. Better than who we have there already.
