The season is barely two months old (though it is now officially longer than 2020) and the Royals have had a 16-9 stretch. An 0-11 stretch, a 13-6 stretch and now have lost five of their last six games. I remember a couple weeks back, I was on my weekly spot with Soren Petro and he asked me if the Royals are the team that started 16-9 or the team that was 4-13 since that start, and my answer was that they are the 20-22 team. Since that time, they’ve gone 10-9, which is fine, but boy do they get there in weird ways.
