In some ways, this has felt like an incredibly long season. Long losing streaks and 4-20 stretches will do that to a fan. But in other ways, it sure feels like about 20 minutes ago that we were talking about the potential of this lineup and if the young starters can just find their way to success. Of course, we know how it’s turned out. The Royals are on pace for about 70 or so wins, which is right in line with the projections. The young starters have been a mixed bag, as most young starters are. And the offense, well they didn’t quite live up to their potential.
