The 2021 Kansas City Royals had the best record in the MLB at the end of April. Now halfway through the season, they are now on pace to lose nearly 100 games. The Royal Rollercoaster has derailed and all that’s left now is to determine how many casualties there are and who needs to be blamed for the tragedy.
Danny Duffy will get the start for KC, today. He’s been something of a bright spot with his 2.44 ERA entering action today, but he was also injured and out for a good chunk of the season and the Royals have been treating him bizarrely ever since his return first not sending him on a rehab assignment then simultaneously keeping him in the rotation and having him pitch out of the bullpen.
