The Royals’ bullpen won’t define the progress of 2019

On the heels of suffering six straight losses, four of which were due effort of the bullpen, the Royals return home to take on a red-hot Seattle Mariners team who as of Sunday, leads the Major Leagues in wins. But as Kansas City remained scoreless for the last eight innings of Sunday’s series finale, spoiled the third straight quality start by 23-year old Brad Keller, I remembered an opinion I heard following Opening Day’s victory.

While listening to The Drive on 610 Sports with Carrington Harrison, many fans resorted to calling in about the near bullpen collapse of squandering a five-run lead in the ninth inning in game one against Chicago.
