The 2018 Kansas City Royals are terrible. But mostly they are just boring.
This is a tragedy, because Kansas City has already endured decades of terrible baseball, and sports are meant to be entertaining. Please enlighten me what the entertainment value is of watching Alcides Escobar swing at ball four that bounced a foot in front of the plate. There is none. Please do not try.
Thankfully, there are varying ways the Royals can remedy this. Some of these are not strictly speaking ‘realistic’ or ‘allowable’ but if we’re dreaming about something we might as well dream really, really bigly.
