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





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?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions
Seth Lugo, SP
Michael Wacha, SP
Kyle Wright, SP
Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP
Adam Frazier, 2B
Garrett Hampson, INF/OF
Matt Sauer, RP

Schriber has turned back into a pumpkin, he was a relied upon constantly in high leverage situations. The bullpen is such a mess, scuttled the season.

2024 GDT Starter Standings

Boring, gray, wet Sunday here, where Hurricane Beryl is starting to deliver rain and wind. Fortunately, it's landfall path has developed more to our northeast. I was wondering how the Royals record correlates to our GDTs, and used the Advanced Search and Excel to answer the question.



The standings are obviously just for the hell of it, and skewed by the vast differences in GDT started by frequent and not-as-frequent posters. Nevertheless, they are weighted first by Games Back (0.5 games each per advantage in the Win and Loss columns) rather than Winning Percentage (just as with MLB standings).

Just like the Royals themselves, GabyKeepsMeWarm and cmh6476 started out especially hot, but have racked up mostly Ls lately.

So right now the Royals are 9th in the majors in run differential.

I posted this on a different thread, but want to put it here.

I think run differential is a huge indicator of how good your team is. Just look at previous world series winners and where they ranked.

23 - Rangers 4th in MLB
22 - Astros 3rd
21 - Braves 7th
20 - Dodgers 1st
19 - Nationals 6th
18 - Red Sox 2nd
17 - Astros 3rd
16 - Cubs 1st
15 - Royals 5th
14 - Giants Tied 8th
13 - Red Sox 1st
12 - Giants 9th
11 - Cardinals 7th
10 - Giants 3rd
09 - Yankees 2nd
08 - Phillies 3rd
07 - Red Sox 1st
06 - Cardinals 14th
05 - White Sox 7th
04 - Red Sox 2nd
03 - Marlins 11th
02 - Angels 1st
01 - Diamondbacks 3rd
00 - Yankees Tied 8th
99 - Yankees 3rd
98 - Yankees 1st
97 - Marlins 7th
96 - Yankees 3rd
95 - Braves 3rd
93 - Blue Jays 5th
92 - Blue Jays 3rd
91 - Twins 2nd
90 - Reds 5th

Going back 32 years the average MLB run differential ranking is 4th. Run differential seems to be a really good indicator of who the best teams are. 19% of teams that won the world series between 1990 and 2023 were ranked 1st in run differential in all of the majors. 60% of teams were ranked in the top 3 of run differential and 72% of teams were ranked in the top 5. Run differential seems like one of the best indicators of how good a team was.

It'll be cool to see, but I just hope it doesn't screw up his swing.

But how great is it that we have four guys representing KC for the ASG? Congrats Salvy, Lugo, BWJ and Ragans!

With Bobby's swing I can really see him getting into a groove if they throw it to his sweet spot.
