Royals, do this: start your middle relievers and let them run for 3 innings. Then put in your normal starters to get the game to the 9th. Close can finish if applicable. At least the batting players know what they have to do to win. Come on Trey. Give it a try.

wow I dont know who codylshs00 is but what an ignorant comment. Rany how dare you simply suggest that someone who has been a mainstay for 19 years might not be doing a great job of late. Sure Rany probably shouldnt have centered in on Nick Swartz so much but he's admitted that. Clearly the Royals haven't been flawless when it comes to handling injuries, some criticism is undeniably

Soren Petro's rant this morning regarding the general imbecility of the entire Royals organization is of the purest gold:

I also sent an email to the Royals in regards to this whole farce. Regardless of what Rany's motivations may have been for calling Nick Schwartz out (there's been some debate on his motivations) for the Roayls treatment of their players, he's ABSOLUTELY right. The Royals have been horrendous when it comes to the medical care of their players. The evidence IS overwelming. There'

Okay, WHY did Hillman just pinch run TPJ for Guillen? IT'S THE TOP OF THE 6TH INNING AND WE'RE DOWN BY 2 RUNS.

I seriously can't stand this guy anymore. He clearly does NOT know what he's doing. The fact that Dayton Moore hasn't sat him down and said "Get your act together or you're going back to Japan" makes me question Moore even more than I

2009-07-07T17:15:41.905-05:00

This discussion reminds me of the controversy in the NFL a few years ago about team doctors. Players felt that the team doctors, who are paid by the teams (of course) were under pressure to minimize and underdiagnose injuries to force players back on the field.

There are similarities to the way people like Crisp, Aviles, and others were treated. It looks like the Royals medical

2009-07-07T17:08:21.234-05:00

I've been thinking about how the whole situation arose, then got blown way out of proportion.

Rany says that he's surprised by the firestorm that came from calling for the job of a trainer, when he routinely criticizes the manager and players.

I'm always uneasy when someone says someone else should be fired. However, for many of us, we don't bat an eye

I hope Aviles' issue is really in his elbow (or non-existent, I guess).

My chiropractor (no, not an MD, but bear with me) was telling me about a patient of his who had pain in her wrist that progressed to the point where she couldn't hold objects in her hand - just like Mike. Her doctors thought the problem was in her elbow, so she has surgery. No improvement. Well, they

gbewing,

Sorry I probably wasn't clear, but exactly that's where I intended to go with it. Frankly I'm shocked that folks have been bashing Rany on here -- not that I always agree 100%, but the body of evidence against this training staff is seemingly insurmountable.

Freel is going to be a stop-gap until Gordon returns as Teahen has got to be on his way out now. Then Freel can be the super sub that Teahen was. Come on Dayton, get Escobar from Atlanta!

Rany cares so much about the Royals blackballing himself or trying to sabotage his career.

But did Rany care so much about Nick Swartz career when he came up with his unfounded attacks.

I guess the real reason Rany didn't attack Dr. Joyce (the real person in charge of the Royals injury situations) because being a MD he could have been called infront of the medical board
