Lesky’s Notes: The peaks and valleys are strong with this team

I’ve said this multiple times and I’ll keep saying it because this boggles my mind. The Royals, sequentially, have gone 16-9, 0-11, 13-6 and 1-11. They’ve come to an overall record of 30-37, which is a pace of 72 to 73 wins, which is probably not terribly far off where most people predicted. And if you had said before the season that Danny Duffy would be out for a month plus, Brad Keller would be rocking a 6+ ERA, Adalberto Mondesi would miss 45 games and then another 14, Jorge Soler would have an OPS below Nicky Lopez’s and Hunter Dozier would be worse, then I think most people would say that 30-37 was just about right.
