Some people will tell you that after only six games it’s way too early to know much of anything about the 2019 Royals. But in the six games they’ve played they’ve pretty much shown me what I expected to see before the season started so I’m going to entirely disregard that. Particularly after watching Wednesday’s game I think we’ve seen both the best and the worst of this team and it should serve as a template of what to expect for most of this season.
In the bottom of the fifth inning of that game, the Royals showed us how building the team for speed can work.
