0

Chapter 3: What changes are needed in the Royals' management strategy?

106.552 - 123.167 Unknown

We're going to play the feud. I was thinking that was Frank Opinions we played yesterday. I was like, this is yesterday's sheet. It's not. It's correct. So we'll need a contestant. If you want to go get some wonderful cuisine, maybe some cocktails at Nick and Jake's, that's what we'll be playing for. That's coming up next hour.

0

123.187 - 123.867 Seren Petro

Who doesn't want that?

0

124.088 - 150.228 Unknown

Get your thinking cap on, people. We'll play the feud. You can eat and drink on us and our good friends, Kevin Timmons. Jen Timmons and the crew over at Nick and Jake's. That's coming up at 3 o'clock. That's a big deal. We have coming up in the 4 o'clock hour, Tim Grunhardt pounding us with texts about topics he's burning about. Really? Spicy hot topics from Tim Grunhardt.

0

150.529 - 155.455 Unknown

Glad I'm not on that thread. You're not on that? Is that just me and Kyle?

0

155.475 - 155.916 Seren Petro

It could be.

156.878 - 163.15 Unknown

Need-to-know basis. Sweet. Sorry. Want-to-know basis. Sorry Tim doesn't think more of you. I don't mind that.

163.892 - 169.363 Seren Petro

Not the first person. You okay being down the list on Grunhardt?

Chapter 4: Why is Daniel Lynch's role in the bullpen being questioned?

169.383 - 193.945 Seren Petro

I was on anyone's list. I was talking to I was introducing our our newest intern to two of the new interns on the zone. And I said, I don't really know what how that's going to go or what what you should know about that. I go, I've managed to make it 30 years in this business without really having any actual responsibilities, which is kind of how I like it.

0

195.511 - 214.768 Unknown

it's kind of like what Pete Enoch used to say about the military. If you hold a clipboard, walk fast and look worried, no one will mess with you. Yes, that's true. Kyle, you're from a military family. How right on is that? Carry a clipboard, walk fast, look worried, and nobody will mess with you. That's right. And maybe mumble a little bit as you go. I got to go. I got to go.

0

214.748 - 216.231 Unknown

Yeah, it's called looking busy.

0

216.371 - 223.926 Seren Petro

Yeah, there you go. There you go. One of my first jobs 40 years ago, I was a porter at a Ford dealership. Really? Yes.

0

223.947 - 224.768 Unknown

I haven't heard this story.

225.389 - 246.281 Seren Petro

I'm sure you've heard part of the story. But the best way to do it was, you know, you got guys pulling cars in and out of service bays. And one of my friends, Brian, who already worked there, got me the job there. He says the best thing you can do is if you've got nothing to do, just grab a dustpan and a broom. And walk around the building. And just walk between bays.

246.301 - 258.896 Seren Petro

Walk across to the other and then hang out and talk to that mechanic and then walk across that way. If they see you with a dustpan and a broom in your hand, they'll never ask you what you're doing. You don't want to just be standing around because if you just want to kill some time, just walk from bay to bay with a dustpan and a broom.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of player injuries on team performance?

258.916 - 259.977 Seren Petro

And I was like, that's fantastic.

0

259.957 - 262.841 Unknown

So this was the ultimate job if you're trying to get your steps.

0

263.401 - 264.042 Seren Petro

Yeah.

0

264.062 - 266.485 Unknown

You were ahead of your time back then.

0

267.006 - 271.812 Seren Petro

Okay. Just never be standing around. Always have something in your hand looking like you need to do something.

272.033 - 293.888 Unknown

You know, it was the food preparation industry that taught me if there's time to lean. There's time to clean. There's time to clean. I learned that my first job. Yeah. So keep that in mind, folks. That's a nugget from me to you. Got that in mind. James Palmer, friend of the program, will join us. Yes. We'll talk some NFL football with James Palmer. Talk some AFC West football with James Palmer.

294.65 - 299.8 Unknown

And so a lot of football talk coming up. We just had the press conferences.

300.522 - 323.428 Seren Petro

Mm-hmm. The pressers, OTA pressers, no Andrew today. Coordinators. Coordinators, some assistant coaches. New offensive assistant coaches, wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea, running backs coach DeMarco Murray, and defensive line coach Joe Cullen spoke after Dave Tobe, Steve Spagnuolo, and Eric Biennemi, who is back looking a little different than he looked the last time he was at that podium.

323.448 - 329.228 Seren Petro

EBS back in what way? What are you getting at? A little more facial hair. The giant gray beard.

Chapter 6: How does the Royals' roster construction affect their future?

329.85 - 334.959 Seren Petro

It looks so good. It looks so good on him. That's one of the best beards I've ever seen.

0

336.001 - 346.161 Unknown

No one cares about my opinion, but if you're black and you're dying the beard, what are you doing? You've got the greatest look, period, ever.

0

346.241 - 348.345 Seren Petro

Especially when you have the shaved head, too.

0

348.585 - 370.831 Unknown

No. Great luck. Great luck. But, yes, EB is back. So we can talk some Chiefs. Chiefs, Royals, Sporting, KUK State, Missouri. Always a topic here in the program. We like to address the news of the day first. I do want to get into the Royals. We'll probably lead with that. I want to get into the NBA Finals. They begin tonight. Curtis, where can you hear the NBA Finals?

0

371.011 - 373.694 Seren Petro

Right here on Sports Radio 810 WHB.

373.754 - 387.856 Unknown

That's right. Game 1 is here on 810 starting at 730P. Knicks, Spurs. We'll get into that here in a minute. Let's start with the Royals. I was sent a text. Curtis Seabolt has jumped the shark.

389.86 - 393.387 Seren Petro

You brought up a good point. You said jumped ship. Yeah, jumped the ship.

Chapter 7: What are the fans' perspectives on the current team dynamics?

393.407 - 395.932 Seren Petro

Jumping the shark is when you've gone too far on something.

0

395.952 - 422.027 Unknown

Let me make sure how it was phrased to me. It was... It was an emoji. Yeah, Curtis has jump ship. It is a ship emoji. Yes. You know? Shocking, the glasses I spent exorbitant amount of money on aren't really that good. Y'all. They have like, you know, when you get old and you get the bifo, oh, we're not going to have any lines. Okay, great.

0

422.918 - 434.216 Unknown

But could you give me a field of vision for the reading that's bigger than .5 millimeters so I could actually see a screen? The drunken fool that made these glasses, I can't wait to find.

0

434.256 - 440.826 Seren Petro

That's why when I get here, I take my glasses off because they're useless when I'm looking at a computer. I'm useless without them, so.

0

440.958 - 455.998 Unknown

It said you jumped the ship. You jumped ship. You're off the defending queue, and you are now guns blazing at the manager of the Kansas City Royals. That's how it was presented to me. Curtis, I'll say you.

456.018 - 456.919 Seren Petro

That is not correct.

456.98 - 458.101 Unknown

Not accurate.

458.221 - 478.544 Seren Petro

I will read the post that I sent last night at 9-0-1. that got people thinking this. I said, get on cue all you want tonight. I don't understand this at all. To go to Lucas Erceg in a one-run game with Daniel Lynch sitting in the bullpen not having pitched since Saturday is inexplicable. And people were generally fairly nice about that.

478.644 - 483.709 Seren Petro

I mean, one person said, you can't fire the roster, but you have to change the chemistry, so fire the coaches.

Chapter 8: What solutions are proposed for the Royals' ongoing issues?

483.81 - 505.681 Seren Petro

And I said, there aren't good enough players in this team, and it makes sense. There aren't enough good players in this team. It makes every move kind of more important. A couple people, though, kind of made me laugh. Someone sent a post, you are one of us now. You're one of us, one of us, one of us. So then declare your position. Welcome to the party, pal. What are you now?

0

506.402 - 510.489 Unknown

So you're a guy, this is just a one situation where you think... Quintero got it wrong.

0

510.67 - 533.052 Seren Petro

I think there's clearly a distinction between saying that someone is the problem and needs to be excised from the team and saying someone blew it. But you did invite it when you said, how did you put it? I'm one of you now? No, no, no. I said, get on cue all you want tonight. That's all I said. So you opened the door. Let's talk some smack on this guy.

0

533.072 - 550.497 Seren Petro

Yeah, because usually the complaints I hear about Matt Quattro are about things where he doesn't really have a winning move. You know, like, well, what would you do? What would you do? And I don't usually have a good answer for that. You have a different move. Do you know it's a winning move?

0

550.915 - 571.264 Seren Petro

I don't know that it's a winning move, but I think it's much more likely to be a winning move than the move that was made. So I just said, get on cue all you want. I don't understand this at all. And yes, I don't think he's a perfect manager. I think he's a manager that sometimes makes tactical mistakes like probably a lot of managers do.

571.844 - 591.17 Seren Petro

The problem with this team is that I said in the one post, this team is not good enough to survive tactical mistakes or mistakes. you know, any kind of mistake. They're going to win in the margins, and so they can't be blowing up the main thing. When you're up 3-2 in the ninth inning on the road, you need to win that game. You can't afford to make a mistake in that situation.

591.19 - 611.857 Seren Petro

So that magnifies what happened. If the Royals scored six runs last night, if they had taken more advantage of some of the opportunities they have, it doesn't really matter. But they didn't. It was 3-2, and... He went to a guy who's been torched a couple times in a row in that situation in a hitter's ballpark, and the guy did what often happens in Cincinnati. He hit the ball over the fence.

613.119 - 625.675 Seren Petro

I don't know why you don't go to Daniel Lynch there. That's why I said, hey, man, I don't get this at all. If you want to barrel into him, barrel into him. That doesn't mean I think he should be fired. It means I think he made a mistake last night.

626.144 - 638.358 Unknown

I'm always of the opinion, like we all would agree, Matt Kutcher is a smart guy. He knows baseball. He's obviously had successes here in Kansas City. I like to come at it from the, okay, he had a reason. Let's try to figure out what it was.
