The Royals aren't winning a lot of baseball games with Whit Merrifield, Andrew Benintendi, Michael A Taylor, Hunter Dozier, Cam Gallagher, Josh Staumont and Scott Barlow.  But I think these guys can fetch a pretty prospect (or player?) at the trade deadline.  What can I do to get the best possible return?  In this episode, I speculate these trades, maybe reach a little bit...

As usual, things haven't gone well for the Kansas City Royals.  In this episode, I talk about someone who became a fan-favorite but has fallen onto a dark path we've all seen before.  Hopefully it doesn't continue this way, but if it does....

OK I promise I'm going somewhere with this.  There's a chicken sandwich at Arby's that has been a token of improvement in my life.  It's not an amazing sandwich and I'm not shilling for Arby's or anything.  That's just the way it is.  Since proclaiming my need to spend time away from the team, the Royals finally win baseball games, and their supposed least valuable player has started to show progress. Because -5 + 1 is progress, right?  That's what the Royals say, anyway.

I want out.  The Royals aren't giving me what I want, so I'm done.  Now, whenever they play baseball, I'm going to do something good for myself.  This is now a self-help podcast, because there's nothing new to talk about with the Royals, and even if there is it certainly isn't any good news that would be fun to talk about.  Be the change you want to see.

The Royals had a pretty OK weekend with one good game, one bad game, and one OK game that reveals a couple of things, but nothing new.  Mostly, it just reminds everyone that Cal Eldred is not qualified to be a pitching coach at any level, as Kris Bubic takes lessons learned elsewhere to find success like Jakob Junis did.  Meanwhile, Salvador Perez begins heating up in what could be a fun summer for one of the most exciting hitters in baseball!

As I type this description, having the episode already completed and ready to go, I realize I could have done something goofy like make this episode into a Survivor parody or something.  Because what I'm doing here is evaluating the Royals' front office and management, looking at five guys individually and deciding whether or not they need to leave.  Because SOMETHING has to change in that way, or else the Royals might be a last-place team forever.

Nothing's been good for Lux, but at least some things have been good for the Royals!  The offense is hitting well and Brady Singer has taken a legitimate step forward as the future of Royals pitching.  Unfortunately, the people in charge want to have it their way, which means not letting the kids play and taking the high road, salving as many wins as possible to get that 0.3% playoff chance up WOOOOOOOO!!!!

The Royals began the night with a stress-free ballgame, which is all I can ask for at this point even if they lose.  So be it!  Who cares if the Royals lose more games at this point!  Might as well!!  But then, as the night grows darker, the bullpen comes in and the tides change!  The fates of this game is about to change...!!  Okay, enough of that.  The bullpens came in and did some interesting stuff and it somehow led to a Royals win!  We'll take those.  Also, the Royals call up RHP Dylan Coleman and OF Brewer Hicklen in place of LHP Amir Garrett and OF Kyle Isbel, who are probably out with COVID for a bit.  It's not the call fans want to hear, but it's the right one for the occasion.

The Royals have lost like infinity games in a row for the eight thousandth time this season or whatever.  Who's even keeping track anymore.  Let's talk about where it all went wrong, how did the Royals get here?  Can they get out of it?  Is this even an original talking point?  I AM BECOMING ALL OF US AT THE SAME TIME!!  I guess that makes sense, given that I just went to see Everything Everywhere All At Once yesterday.  Pretty cool movie.  You know what's not cool?  THE ROYALS LOL
