Photo by Colin Braley/MLB Photos via Getty ImagesDayton Moore has often said that the first real judgment of a team comes after 40 games, and after a quarter of this season, the Royals are guilty of playing bad baseball. Here are a few quick notes on the badness:
They are tied with the Tigers for the third-worst record in baseball, ahead of only the Reds and Nationals.
They have won three series all year.
They have been shutout five times already.
They have tied with the Pirates for allowing the most first inning runs in baseball with 37.
