Absolutely.
It appears that the Royals' philosophy of the last decade of draft pitching, pitching, and more pitching is FINALLY working out. I guess it was a matter of the law of averages. The Rosado's and Pittsleys derailed it for awhile, but here we are.
These guys have good stuff and throw strikes. As long as they continue to throw strikes, I don't see any reason for a big swoon.
Hernandez is 2-0 with a .69 freaking ERA. Macdougal has 3 saves in 3 opps. and throws 99 MPH. That ain't smoke and mirrors.
Stay healthy. Throw strikes. That's all they've done and all they have to continue to do.
It should also be mentioned that Pena, being a former catcher, appears to be an excellent handler of his pitching staff. He was absolutely the RIGHT guy to hire to oversee this young staff. Kudos there.
