"WE. DON’T. F***G. KNOW. MAN" "Just fired the hitting coach. Third base coach is next" - Kansas City Royals fans in disbelief after horrible play at the plate, roast the coaching staff for baffling decision

This has been a tough series for the Royals.
This has been a tough series for the Royals.

The struggles continue for the Kansas City Royals, who find themselves the butt of the joke once again after a terrible sequence at the plate. After a hit to center that should have loaded the bases, the runner was inexplicably told to run home, where he was easily tagged out by the Chicago White Sox catcher.

Currently fourth in the American League Central, the Kansas City Royals are only one game ahead of the Detroit Tigers and with plays like these, they will remain among the worst teams in the MLB.

The play was posted by Jomboy Media on Twitter.

Fans were a lot happier after this homer than they are now.

When you are a fan of a bad team that is not in serious contention for a World Series, a sense of humor is truly your best defense. Losing is not easy. Fans of the Kansas City Royals have taken to roasting themselves and their own coaching staff, and they are very good at it.

This fan, Jeremy Danner, is simply unable to understand what happened on this play.

This fan predicts a shakeup coming to the coaching staff, shortly after the hitting coach was fired.

The theme of the third base coaches departure from the team was prevalent throughout Twitter.

Mark Zarybnicky is hoping that this specific play can be used to implement changes to the organization.

@JomboyMedia Jomboy, please lead the charge to blow up this Royals front office/coaching staff. This clip encapsulates how bad they are.

This Kansas City Royals fan has been through this song and dance before, and is no longer surprised by it.

@JomboyMedia My Royals gonna Royal. That's what speed do or something. idk.

Speaking of song and dance, a comparison was made between the third base coach and one of the greatest musicians of all time via this tweet.

Plays like these are always tough to deal with as a player in the game and as a fan at home, and these fans certainly let the Kansas City Royals hear about it.
