Bobby Witt Jr is at risk of losing his 20/20 streak...

In each of Bob's first 4 years as a pro he's hit at least 20 home runs and stolen at least 20 bases:

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐: 𝟐𝟎/πŸ‘πŸŽ
πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ‘: πŸ‘πŸŽ/πŸ’πŸ—
πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ’: πŸ‘πŸ/πŸ‘πŸ
πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ“: πŸπŸ‘/πŸ‘πŸ–

He's one of the only players in history to have done so.

This year Bobby has 39 stolen bases but only 17 home runs. He has 16 games to hit 3 more. He would become the second player ever in MLB history to accomplish such a feat (Julio Rodriguez accomplished this literally 6 days ago to become the first ever).

Does he do it?

Now that the Royals are *essentially* eliminated from the playoffs... what would you most like to see happen during the rest of the season?

1. Salvador Perez stays hot and finishes with an OPS over .700 giving us hope for how he'll play next year (especially if he DHs more next year).

2. Jac & Carter both hit 25 home runs (currently at 23 & 22)

3. Bobby keeps his streak alive by going 20/20 (HR/SB) for 5th straight year and every year he's been in the league so far (currently at 17 Home runs & 39 Stolen Bases)

4. I don't care... Just no more injuries please πŸ™πŸ˜­

Jac Caglianone *might* be available off the bench tonight...

Today the numbers listed are all fWAR. If you want to rate our players more favorably, you should probably use bWAR πŸ˜‚

After beloved former KC Current coach Vlatko Andonovski parted ways with the Current a few days ago, publications are starting to pick up on the idea that there's more here than meets the eye.

Jeff Kassouf of ESPN pointed out that the statement the Current released was "strangely short" and stated "I don't think we have to read between too many lines to see that they're not [probably] thrilled about this. Both the action itself and [maybe] the way it was announced and handled".

Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star very poignantly stated the obvious issue: "On Tuesday, the Kansas City Current made more than 20 posts across its social media accounts. None of the posts included the team’s news release announcing sporting director Vlatko Andonovski’s departure by β€œmutual agreement.""

But Sperry went on to talk about something that we'd like to focus on and that's the fact that the Kansas City Current have had five different general managers in five seasons.

It is growing increasingly clear that the Long's have had quite the tough time getting along with - or if we're being more charitable - finding the right fit for the general manager position. This raises questions as to just how much say they want the general manager to have. And in a year where you let Claire Hutton go in the offseason and proceed to bleed without a #6 and make a change at head coach by hiring your close friends college roommate... well, feel free to draw your own conclusions there.

At the end of the day, ownership needs to ask themselves what's important. Is it your $1.4 billion luxury "culinary hub" or is it winning?

Because without any say, the citizens of Kansas City are funding their $125 million stadium expansion. And if they keep making decisions like this...

They're going to have a hard time filling up those 18,000 seats.

The Royals will officially finish under .500 this year.

The fact that Hud is on the broadcast but they aren't using him during the game (and instead are using Monty) is so annoying πŸ™„
