I was there for the cold disappointment of opening day in MN...here's to hoping that: -Mondesi's spring was more than a fluke -Cain, Moose and Perez can stay healthy and produce all year -Gordon returns to form -The bullpen rallies and doesn't remind us of how spoiled we've been -Soler comes back from injury and proves his potential -Moss has Morales Magic -Duffy shows his reliability as a front-end starter -Our "depth" is more than AAAA -Brayan Peña finds more mantises -Colón keeps everyone hydrated |

Only 2 games in and many are giving up. It's only 1 quarter through a football game and we fumbled twice. But this team has the ability to win.

Right now at this very point of the Royals season, it's 2nd and 11 at our own 24 yard line. Now if the Royals were to win tomorrow, it would **** this entire model up as it is based under the assumption that reaching the endzone is a perfect 162-0 season and them being winless right now simplifies this scenario. But for right now at this exact second, it's all I got. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

But really, good for him. That guy will always and forever tell stories about 2014. He had a hell of a year that year. |
What needs to happen: our bullpen pitches to our hitters, and both get back in a groove.

This team sucks.

The Astros will bash our skulls if we don't get ahead of their hitters at MMP.

I've decided to spoiler tag the 2011 prelude after the Royals first win this season.
I will have the five burning questions and analysis uploaded to the OP by Friday. Here's a sneak peak. 2017's Burning Questions 1. What is the threshold between being “buyers” or “sellers” at the deadline? (This is an important question. The worst move if we're down 4-5 games again would be holding, imho). 2. Can Gordo and Moose bounce back to 2015 form? 3. Can Ned Yost manage a bullpen? 4. Will the Royals find a boost from an unexpected X-Factor to lift them to contention? 2014 X factors - Wade Davis, Kelvin Herrera, Danny Duffy and "Ace" Ventura 2015 X factors - Chris Young, Ryan Madson, Kendrys "Silver Slugger" Morales 5. Can Jorge Soler and Brandon Moss be productive contributors in Kauffman’s dimensions? Bonus Question - Is Raul Mondesi truly ready to be an everyday player? |

2. Moose can, but Gordon's too old to do much anymore, IMO. He might have a good stretch or two in him, but his best years are over. 3. No. 4. That better be a bullpen guy. Otherwise, it won't matter. Not seeing it at this point. 5. Better question. Can either of them not strike out at a ridiculous rate? BQ. I haven't seen enough of him because of all the day games and my work schedule, but sure? The Royals have always been weak at second, other than the half-season of Zobrist. |

I love Gordo - and he will forever be a royal legend for the game 1 bomb off Familia....but smart franchises know when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em. |
If there is one thing we all know about these guys, especially the hitters, it's that every single ****ing one of them is streaky as ****.
The pitching hopefully warms up and guys settle into their roles. However, this looks to be an average bullpen at best. Starting pitching is going to have to be better than years past. |
