There are a lot of people who seem confident that next year’s squad can easily avoid 100 losses even as the current teams seems destined to break the franchise record for losses. They point to the fact that the team has played better, recently, with the young guns finally getting a chance to show their stuff. But watching games like last night’s reminds that these guys still have a long ways to go to being good.
If the Royals manage to avoid losing 100 games next year Jorge Lopez probably will need to pitch more like he did against Baltimore than how he’s pitched in his other big league starts.
