Off-Season Focus on Defense Paying Dividends...

... for the Royals' opponents. In the chart at the bottom we can see that the Royals are fourth worst in the majors when it comes to runs prevented on defense at minus 14. The three teams tied for worst are at minus 15. Seattle leads all teams at plus 21.

Dayton's new OF, assembled with defense in mind, is about the worst one this side of JoGui playing RF

Seriously, Pods and Ankiel are brutal out there. The infield isn’t great, but at least they don’t fall down while fielding a ball (Ankiel I’m looking in your direction).

I'm shocked

All this emphasis on fundamentals in spring training is not paying off!

Pitch and Catch

When Trey said we are going to pitch and catch it, what he really meant to say is we are going to suck it and swallow it.

This Is One

Reason I do not fear letting Bert play LF. I’m pretty sure his arm is better than Zilla’s, and he might not be as fast, but he can’t take much worse routes. DDJ back in CF and Mitch if RF is better all around than this ridiculously gerrymandered mess Treyton have created.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
