I watched a 2003 Royals team led by Darrell May and Angel Berroa open its season with nine straight wins. I watched a 2013 team that had never won 15 of 20 games in the Dayton Moore era win 15 of 17. I watched a 29-32 Royals team that was dead to rights win 10 straight games and eventually win the pennant. I watched the 2015 Royals come out of the gates breathing fire and winning its first seven games.
Despite all that, I’m not sure I’ve ever witnessed a Royals team more unconscious than the team we watched in the 1st inning today.
