It is no secret that the Kansas City Royals bullpen has struggled this year. Other than the Baltimore Orioles, it is difficult to come up with a bullpen that has been consistently worse. But I think the struggles of the bullpen have kept some of us from noticing just how bad our starting rotation is.
Our starters, as a group, have been every bit as awful as our relievers in almost every statistical category. Granted, this is a little like comparing a dumpster fire to a tire fire but, arguably, our starters have been even worse than our relievers.
