The Royals have played about 42 percent of their season in about a month, which is the magic of 2020. Typically, this would be the part of the season where we’d start to think we can glean some things from what’s happened, but it kind of both feels later and earlier. Since snapping their six game losing streak, they’re a pretty respectable 7-5. The day of their first win after the losing streak was also the return of Brad Keller, which gave them an actually full rotation (for a bit before Jakob Junis went down). I think there’s an argument to be made that this Royals team, at fullish strength, is actually pretty darn mediocre.
Lesky’s Notes: One month in and we’re almost halfway done
