*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Last night’s loss was brutal, but not surprising after going to the bullpen well four times while clinging to a one run lead. Hitting into three DP’s killed any offense we could’ve potentially got.

I was impressed with AZ, aside from the bad optics HBP on Bobby in game one. That AZ team is exactly what I thought they were, but I didn’t realize how athletic they were to boot. Great offense, great defense. Shit pitching. Should’ve won two, but we didn’t.

Time to move on and take care of business this weekend against the Chubs.

Saw that the Mariners traded for Randy Arozarena last night for 2 guys they drafted last year. He's having a down year but still is probably the best hitter on their team now.

I would have loved for the Royals to make that move.

Every time I see the Royals bulllpen implode, I wonder what Zack Greinke is up to and how he would have looked taking a relief role and pitching a single inning a few times a week?

I know he's old and his arm has more mileage than anyone else, but I still wonder...
