Summary

Royals GM JJ Piccolo has fired manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Cal Eldred in what can only be described as one of the strangest "house cleanings" in Royals history.  It's not that we don't like Piccolo, but how can an owner hate the direction of the team but give more power to his GM?    In other sports, the MLB playoffs are set and should be better than ever this year with a new format.  Also, Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill opens up about how much money he's saving playing in Florida instead of New York where the Jets were trying to lure him.    The candidates for governor had their second and final debate and Derek Schmidt attacked Lockdown Laura Kelly relentlessly telling her she "failed" Kansas school kids during Covid 19 and asked her if we were all better under Biden.  Her answer to that question was all you need to know about her.    Ted Cruz and Lyndsay Graham sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas informing him that if he doesn't start enforcing our laws at the border, the Republicans will impeach him after they take over.   Kamala Harris was in a fender bender and a golf team in Texas had their practice cancelled when they arrived at the course and saw naked women.

Through the years, we've seen an awful lot of different organizational shakeups with the Royals, the Chiefs,

are college teams in the area, sporting Kansas City, what have you. I don't know if I ever remember one quite as unique as what the Kansas City Royals are going through right now. A lot of times you'll see somebody on a staff, I think back to the days the Chiefs were really bad, and Frank Gans took over as the head coach. He was the special teams coordinator. You say, okay, they got rid of one coach and they put the other one in there. And we see that from time to

0:41.7

time. We also see succession plans where maybe somebody who's been within the organization

0:47.5

takes over as Herk Robinson took over for the Royals when John Schuerholtz left for the Atlanta Braves,

0:54.4

and we go, okay, they've got a good thing going here, we'll stay with what we're doing.

0:59.7

I can't really remember a time.

1:02.2

I don't know enough about other organizations and other markets, but I can't really

1:05.0

remember a time where the owner blows out the guy running the organization that would be

1:10.5

Dayton Moore is deciding that he's

1:14.2

going to have the underling, the person that Daytonmore hired, the first person, Daytonmore hired,

1:18.6

many, many, many 16 years ago. We're going to put that guy in charge. And just 10 days later,

1:24.5

that guy fires the manager of the team and the pitching coach and decides

1:28.6

he's going to gut the whole thing and do it his way. It's strange because the ownership is

1:32.8

saying, we don't really like the direction of this organization, but we're taking, in fact,

1:38.0

we don't like it at all. Okay. We, we, no, rephrase it. We hate the direction of this

1:43.0

organization. We're changing direction of this organization.

1:57.4

We're changing that, but we're putting in charge someone who's been here and part of what has been so awful and has been taught by the people we don't like.

1:59.2

This is a strange one.

2:00.8

This is completely different.
