The Royals have been bad more than a month into the 2022 season. That starts with the hitting, but the starting rotation has been suspect as well. Even the two strong performers, Zack Greinke and Brad Keller, have a lot of questions surrounding how long they can keep it up given that their peripherals are not amazing. That’s the bad news.
The good news is: I have a solution.
Stop using traditional starting pitchers.
You may think this is inspired by the Royals’ latest win from Wednesday night when they defeated the Rangers thanks in part to a strong pitching performance from a series of relievers.
