To put things kindly, the Royals are wildly inconsistent with pitching and hitting. You can't win when both aren't going good. I think I'm more worried about the hitting right now. |

WHen they hit, the pitching is crap, when the pitching is solid, they cant hit. There is talent here, but they dont appear to have a clue about how to win ballgames.....sigh.

Do some research fuqtard. Pitching staff has 7 quality starts in 11 games. We got owned by C but the last 2 games are on the O. If Hosmer and company want to say it's our time quit swinging and missing.

Wow bunch of overeaction in this thread but considering the source for most, its expected. Other than getting swept by the Indians (that is not acceptable), the Royals are who we thought they are. This is a .500 type team. They have started the season pretty much how I figured they would.

There is no need to panic yet but the hitting really needs to get better soon before they really start pressing more than they already are. I believe that is the source of all our double plays we keep hitting into. When a guy gets on the next guys is pressing and trying way hard just to hit a HR or double and ends up swinging too hard or is too impatient and ends up being over the top of the ball resulting in those tailor made ground ball double plays.

They played like ****ing shit against Cleveland, but they are still going to be a .500 type team when its all said and done. Anyone with a mind didn't expect them to compete with Detroit this year.

Meh, I expected a shitty start because because of bad juju in the spring (Perez injury, Soria injury, bringing back Yuni, Gio in Omaha, only going after 1 new SP), and our opening road trip in California. The frustrating thing is that so many of these losses have been perfectly winnable games (Broxton's boner being the most obvious).

around .500 teams dont get swept at home by other around .500 teams and lose 2 out of 3 to teams like Oakland...
