Let’s start with some positive news: The Royals offense isn’t the worst in the league.
It’s understandable if you doubt the above statement. Especially if you’ve watched any of the games against the Chicago baseball clubs.
The Royals are currently zero-for-the-Windy-City, scoring 14 runs in six games. They’ve lost two contests by one run and another by two. But even the close games have been drab, lifeless affairs. A chronicle of an offense running on fumes. A brutal stretch.
Yet the Royals are not alone in their offensive struggles. Through almost two weeks of real baseball, offense is down by almost a half run a game.
