"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
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.

The disbelief certainly didn't stop there, nor did the mockery of the third base coach after this disastrous play.
Kansas City Royals fans are relentless
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.

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