There is no getting around the fact that, one month into the 2022 baseball season, the Royals have been nearly unwatchable. Before Friday’s action, only two teams had worse records than the Royals - the Tigers at half a game back with an extra game played and the Reds with a remarkable three total wins. The Royals’ pitching has been inconsistent with some dominant performances paired with some awful ones while the offense brings to mind the demotivational phrase, “Consistency is only a virtue if you’re not a screw-up.”
The thing is, these Royals are a bit weird.
