Matheny was upfront about the first two when hired by the Royals and said he’d learned from his mistakes. After his first week in 2020 I pretty much was won over and believed him about the first two. Jury’s still out on the discipline piece, but I see no reason to think he’s not at Yost’s level or better.


538 methodology claims the guy Matheny replaced was the 6th worst bullpen manager since 2000:


WRM+
Manny Acta 87
Clint Hurdle 90
Jerry Narron 90
Dusty Baker 91
John Gibbons 91
Tony La Russa 92
Jim Leyland 92
Bobby Valentine 93
Bob Melvin 93
Ron Washington 94

The worst bullpen managers since 2000

Yeah generally if the Royals are going to suck, it’s really obvious by the end of April.

The Royals didn't have 13 wins last year until game number 33, game 28 in 2019.

This is a mirage. 11th in AL in ERA. 9th in runs scored in AL.

What baffles me is all the experts still knocking us in the division. All the power rankings talk about our bad metrics, but the other teams get a pass. This team hasn't put it together yet and still beating the teams they should.

You would be surprised the terrible bets ppl will place when they are biased by their fandom.

Yeah after 12% of the season. That would be two games in an NFL season.

I love our pen. Our hitting has been disappointing. Im not sure about Dozier long term. I wasn't sold on Mondesi because of health issues and he already got hurt again. Whit is aging himself out of playing good defense. Soler is alot of fun but he feasts on medicre pitching in blow out games. Santana is a stud. Going to come down to how Dozier, Mondesi, Benintendi progress.
