It’s time for Alec Zumwalt to go

The Royals have long been an offensively-challenged club, thanks in part to the stadium they play in. But they have taken their offensive ineptitude to new depths this year. They are dead last in baseball in runs scored per-game at 3.30. They have been shut out ten times this year, tied for the most in baseball. They have scored three runs or fewer in 52 of their 84 games, second-most in baseball behind only the Rockies. Their nine-run outburst against the Dodgers on Saturday was the first time since May 30 they had scored more than four runs in a home game.
