Heading into the season, I think most people would have been satisfied with the Royals being within shouting distance in the division heading into Memorial Day weekend. Here we are and there they are, right within shouting distance. It’s nice to see them bounce back from the 11-game losing streak to claw back and to stick around in a division that looks like it’s the White Sox to lose, but they’re a team with flaws as well. Of course, it’s easy to look at things through the lens of what would have been acceptable two months ago and take a different look based on what’s happened since, and it’s slightly disappointing to finish April with baseball’s best record and be clinging to “only” being a few games back.
Lesky’s Notes: They’re hanging around at least
