It's always Hokius, baby.

Mike Matheny used a lot fewer analytics and argued with umpires a lot more than Q.

They care far more about a manager who backs them up to the media than one who gets in pointless arguments with umpires to the point of ejection.

People talk about players getting fired up by that, but it just doesn't work that way.

Being ejected means, essentially, nothing.

C2.) Unless this is the ceiling of the roster we can have under JJ/Sherman. But if that's the case, it's still not Q's fault.

D.) The impact of on-field management decisions is grossly overestimated. The clubhouse likes him, that's good enough.

C.) He's led the team to a winning record in 2 out of 3 seasons despite not having a single outfielder who could hit in any of those years. I can't imagine this is the ceiling with him as a manager.

A.) A lot of the time the Royals are bunting for hits and accepting a sacrifice as a reasonable outcome.

B.) I do not believe that Quatraro is calling for 90% of the bunts. I think the players do it on their own and he just defends them to the media.

I know it's not the same, but I'll never ghost you!

Also, I'm an absolute trophy obsessive. I literally just bought the PS5 versions of Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 so I could earn their platinum trophies again

My audhd super powers also happen to include hyperfocus and a desire to finish things, even if I don't enjoy them, turned up to 11. So once I start a game, there's a 90% chance I'm going to platinum it if I can.
December 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Well, I did the math and I spent 30% of this year playing video games. A larger chunk that you might imagine is letting games run while I do other things, but still, I play for hours every day. I have essentially no social life and gaming is the only hobby I currently get to enjoy.

It didn't force me to do alt text...

Well the image shows 13 platinum trophies. They probably don't have my Powerwash 2 trophy on there yet.

When they stop having one of the better managers in the sport.
