The Royals position players are not holding up their end of the bargain. I know that that is a weird thing to lead off with on a night when the pitching staff gave up eleven runs, but it’s true. Royals defenders committed four more errors tonight which leaves them alone in last place with the most errors in baseball. Even more concerning than the errors are the constant mental mistakes. Nicky Lopez was forced out of the game after getting spiked when Adalberto Mondesi failed to cleanly field a groundball and put him in harm’s way. Ryan O’Hearn almost doubled down on an error that loaded the bases by throwing late and wildly towards first-base when he finally picked up the ball.
Another bullpen game, another blowout; Royals lose 11-5
