The wind was crazy that inning. I thought both Perez and Soler hit it WAY out but the wind just killed them.
Glad they pulled off that win. Re: recent chatter on Benintendi, his exit velocity is better this year than it has been since 2017 or 2016, according to Alex Lewis’ article the other day. I think that’s encouraging. Could see him stepping it up down the road. |

Proj FG standings
Sux 86 Twinks 84 Injuns 82 Royals 80 Tiggers 70 Twinks off to a 6-11 start. Their proj wins has fallen from 88 preseason to 84 already. Long way to go but “You can’t win a division in April but you can lose it” |

It is wild to me to see that writers STILL can't over how the Shields-Myers trade was a productive one for the Royals. Read an article where the writer wrote something like (Despite the results, Moore's judgement still deserves criticism for the Wil Myers trade). This is a common sentiment by the way, even found an article that argued that GMDM doesn't deserve credit for Wade Davis' 2014 and 2015, because his performance was "unforeseen."
Amazing to see that the "experts" still can't live that one down |

If 84-78 wins the AL Central, then the Royals have a legitimate shot at it.

They could win the central but that presumes their hitting and pitching improves.. or that their hitting becomes formidable enough to outweigh surrendering ~5 runs per game routinely.

The Royals destiny hinges on our pitching improving. We have enough bats to be consistent there.

It's hard to imagine their hitting not improving. Soler, Benintendi, and Dozier are underperforming and will get better. Witt and Mondesi will hopefully be up soon to take ABs away from weaker hitters.
