When I first started covering the Royals in 2010 I spent an awful lot of time writing about walks and errors. Small wonder the 2010 Royals went 67-95, and there were plenty of walks and errors to write about.
In baseball, there’s so much you don’t control that you have to concentrate on controlling what you can; walks and errors are on that list.
The fact that I haven’t spent so much time writing about walks and errors the past few years is one indication of the Royals’ improvement, but Saturday afternoon against the Cleveland Indians the Royals did some backsliding.
