Look. I can deal with bad teams. I’ve seen plenty of them. When the team isn’t any good, you can’t really get mad at them for losing games.
But this team. This freaking team. This is the most agonizing, frustrating, irritating baseball team I can remember rooting for. They should be better than they are. There are some valuable pieces on this roster. They are, on paper, significantly better than they were in 2018. But yet somehow, now 19-42 through 61 games - two games worse than they were last year - the Royals are on pace for 111 losses, which would set a new club record.
