The Royals are the best really bad team ever

In 2014, the Royals won the American League pennant. In 2015, they bested that by winning the World Series. Over those two seasons, the Royals won 89 and 95 games respectively, including a pretty much wire-to-wire dominance over the AL in 2015. Cumulatively, those squads put together a 22-9 record in the postseason. Those were two very good teams.

In 2019, the Royals have won .347% of their games. They are currently pacing for 106 losses, which would tie a franchise record. It should be noted that their Pythagorean W-L record is 21-28, but Pythag isn’t real.
