It’s early August and the Royals have only played 11 games as of this writing, but seeing as there are only 60 games in this season I feel like 11 games is enough information to make at least some observations, if not necessarily enough to extrapolate meaningful data.
The Royals are 3-8, a dismal record that if they keep up will likely guarantee them a top two pick in next years amateur draft. They aren’t walking, they aren’t scoring runs, they aren’t... well, really good at anything. There feel like, from this extremely limited sample size, little to celebrate.
