With how the White Sox have been playing the last seven games, you’d think the actual enemy today was the White Sox. Nope, it’s the Royals. Maybe a homestand will give a needed injection of life into this team.
The 2021 Royals were about as good as the 2020 Royals. They continue to be the armpit of the AL Central, but at least 2021 wasn’t a year they landed in last place (an honor reserved for the Twins). There was nothing good for the Royals outside of Salvador Perez being invited to the Home Run Derby and ending the season battling it out for league leader in home runs with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
