The Royals started off the season on a red hot tear, looking like one of the most dominant teams in baseball for the first two weeks. They were able to hold on to first place in the Central for all of April before finally surrendering the spot, as well as any real chance at contention, to the White Sox.
Now KC sits at the bottom of the Central and seem destined to be October spectators this season barring a miracle. The damage has mostly come on the road, but they’ve only been a 500 team at home so that’s not really raising any expectations either.
