@RobCollinsTV Fortunately, there are no great teams in this division. Just several pretty good teams.

Despite the early consternation, the #Royals are only 2.5 games out in the AL Central.

@NoPepperGames @royalsreview Once healthy, Bergert will take Bubic's spot in the rotation when he is traded. Falter (ironic name) has talent, but seems to make unforced errors every time out. He may be one of these guys that just can't be a swing man. He may have to have a clearly defined role.

@hushpook @royalsreview Your Bailey Falter counterpoint is a real checkmate. What do you predict they’ll do?

How the Royals move on from Jonathan India royalsreview.com/kansas-city-ro…

@royalsreview The bigger question is....why did the Royals tender him at all? Replacing his production will be pretty easy, because there wasn't much.

@NoPepperGames @royalsreview If they lack creativity, explain how they got Cole Ragans for a bullpen rental player? Explain how they got Ryan Bergert & Bailey Falter for a part time catcher?

@royalsreview What they should to is make a move for one of Phillies’ 2B, or give the Marlins a call - they seem to always have a middle infielder surplus. What they will do is give Adam Frazier another try, because they’re the least creative front office of all time.

@royalsclubhouse Aggressive baseball is a good thing. But it must be prudent. The team has obviously given the players the green light on this.

These guys just can’t stop running into outs on the bases. It’s nightly - and it’s bad baseball.

@Gialde @royalsclubhouse The theory behind the trade made complete sense.... address the atrocious OBP from the lead off spot in 2024. It's not the GM's fault the player failed to deliver. It is, however, the GM's fault for tendering India a ridiculous contract for this season.

@royalsclubhouse Was a terrible trade the day they made it.

Likely end to the Jonathan India era. Never should have brought him back for $8 million this year and that’s not revisionist history. Plenty of tweets before it happened and after. That was a huge chunk of change for this past offseason. Hope he heals up well, though.

@jazayerli Repeating High A isn't a good sign.

This homer raises Blake Mitchell's average all the way to .200...and his OPS to .953. He has 10 hits all year - but 5 are homers. And he has 23 walks. And he's a catcher. The Royals haven't had a prospect quite like him in a while. I just don't know if that makes him a good one.

@broadwaybabyto @OreoExpress If she hadn't taken a deadly weapon...her car...to a violent anti-police rally, had obeyed lawful police orders, and not driven her deadly weapon so close to police....she'd be alive today. She decided to leave her kids as orphans for a bunch of criminal illegals. That's on her

@OreoExpress First of all, she didn’t try and kill him. Watch the video. Her wheels were pointing away from him. Second, he chose to stand in front of her vehicle. Law enforcement are trained to never do that. Third, there’s no excuse for debasing someone that way.

He murdered Renee Nicole Good. Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”. Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”. He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state. No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

@royalsclubhouse I believe it was a risk worth taking. The Royals had horrid OBP from the lead off-spot in 2024, and India looked like a good candidate to correct that. You gave up a pitcher in Singer that likely wouldn't even be starting for this squad. But tendering that contract was unwise.

@bamafan7 @anne__rogers @McKenzieMNelson It's not like Singer has been a great pitcher for Cincy. He likely wouldn't even be starting here.

@anne__rogers @McKenzieMNelson Should’ve kept Brady Singer

Jonathan India had labral repair surgery today. He’ll be out for the rest of the season. #Royals

@taylor1_kevan @anne__rogers Great? He likely wouldn't even be starting here. ERA+ of 89, WHIP of 1.6, less than 6Ks per 9 innings? All weak numbers.

@anne__rogers Why did JJ trade for this guy he was terrible! We lost a great starting pitcher for nothing!

@aMarcPearson @anne__rogers Oh give me a break. They had to address their horrid OBP from the lead off spot in 2024, and India was a good candidate. And it's not like Singer has been a revelation for the Reds. The trade was worth the risk. Don't understand talent recognition? How'd they get Ragans?

lol What a huge fail by the org. Embarrassing trade, and not a single member of our media said squat. They don't understand talent recognition either. Anyone with an ounce of baseball knowledge knew it was a horrible trade. I'd LOVE to debate anyone on this. Please. Someone needs to be fired for this debacle. And I mean EVERYONE! Can we get one decent writer? Is that too much to ask?

@RoyalsData It looked miserable the day it happened. But it likely means Nick Loftin gets regular at bats in KC. That is a good thing. IMO he's got a chance to be a pretty good player.

WOOF. Tendering that contract looks miserable in hindsight. Michael Massey SZN.

@klseaboldt Can we safely say the Royals have turned a corner?

Nice line by the 5 relievers tonight. 5 4 0 0 2 5 Picked up Bubic AND the offense until Bob could do his thing.

@KcChief9 Mizzou has a really good recruiting class. Surprisingly good. But when you land the dude that is generally regarded as the best recruit in the land ...and has been the best recruit in the land for a full year...it kind of trumps what Mizzou has done.

Mizzou has a better recruiting class 🤣😂 #MIZ 🏀

@royalsreview Not a head scratcher at all. It was the right move. Witt did what he's paid handsomely to do ...get big hits.

Bobby bailed them out, but that was head-scratching. Take the bat out of the hands out of one of your best hitters, and even if he gets it down, it likely sets up an intentional walk to Bobby.

@CashiousM @royalsreview It's a good strategy. It was poor execution. Execution is 100% the players responsibility.

@royalsreview Why in the world is Garcia bunting?

Kyle Isbel is the straw that stirs the drink

@bturner23 On paper, the Chiefs had among their deepest receiver rooms of the Mahomes era last season. We know how things went. They have expended significant draft capital over the last 3 years to get WR talent. How about letting that talent blossom?

I’m nervous about the targets we’ve surrounded Mahomes with at this point. I’m excited about K9 and the potential of the ground game but outside of that it’s just meh

@MahomeSZN Your single biggest need is CB. The best CB in this draft...by a wide margin...is sitting there at 6. How do you not move up 3 spots to guarantee you get him?

For those saying they should’ve gone EDGE / WR I hear you. I think that can be true while also acknowledging they drafted two very good players. Delane was CB1 and Woods is a game wrecker inside. There’s still time to address the other needs.

@SethWalder Let me guess... Draft Day Predictor was created by a bunch of pencil necked geeks who were never allowed to play a day of organized football.

At the time of pick No. 6, there was a 90% chance Mansoor Delane would make it to pick No. 9, per the Draft Day Predictor. Even if that number is a little high, that's the hidden cost of trade-ups: there's a substantial chance the Chiefs gave up a 3 and a 5 for nothing!
