Yeah.

I think the point Jack made earlier, like the numbers are telling a story right now and it's a story of great failure by this team.

That's an extremely lucid point.

You can't argue with that.

The sense of urgency of the Royals to me is going to be a really interesting part of the conversation going down the stretch.

Not just the sense of urgency to get better, to get out of these doldrums that have gripped and choked the life out of this team, but...

how do you respond to it?

And it needs to be a multi-point response.

It needs to address this season, but it also needs to address the future and how they're putting themselves in a position for this not to happen again.

We can't look at what they haven't done, though.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, they have their reasons for not choosing to do any staff changes up to this point.

Now, are those reasons sound?

Are they salient?

Do they make sense?

that's up for every individual to decide i i do think that as this has continued to get worse they've they've been waiting uh and and not just like waiting around and doing nothing but they've been waiting for things to change but at some point like the the royals have a real shot at having the worst record major league baseball by tomorrow morning um that that's not great guys

I think we're already driving on that road, my friend.

Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, there was just –

It felt like there was some promise after the Seattle sweep and especially you take those first two games in the Cleveland series and you lose the last two, but then you get two against Detroit.
