Here is something I believe to be true, despite nearly all evidence so far: the Royals are a good, if flawed, major-league baseball team.
Here is something I also believe to be true: that may not matter.
The Royals ended their nine-game losing streak Monday night. Jorge Bonifacio committed aggravated assault on a baseball, banging it to a place normally reserved for Miguel Sano, and Eric Hosmer hit the Hosmer-est home run of all — line drive, absolutely crushed, to left center.
