After tonight’s game, the Royals will have officially played two-thirds of their season. Remember before the season when some people theorized that the Royals might find a way to be competitive in a short season with expanded playoffs and where they would only be playing opponents from the two potentially weakest divisions in the sport? That seems pretty funny right now, huh? The Indians graduate new aces from their farm system so fast that they’ve literally traded three guys away who would be the best starter for any other team in the division - with the possible exception of Lucas Giolito - and are none the worse for it.
