Guilty. Before the season started, I was one of those who believed that the Royals would be better this year. I wasn't very excited about how the "youth movement" turned into five new players over the age of 30, but I did feel that the roster moves would result in a few more wins. I even had hoped the Royals would avoid losing 100 games, which inspired the creation of this blog.
All of that is lost now. The Royals are 0-12 on the road this season, and every night they present to us a new way to lose a game.
However, tonight's loss was all too familiar. Joe Mays had another awful start and Angel Berroa booted yet another routine grounder. The offense never put anything together, even when Mientkiewicz doubled with nobody out. Two strike outs and a ground out stranded Mientkiewicz at second.
20 losses already.
The Bell Curve
Actual Record: 5-20
Expected Record: 7-18
Runs Scored: 87
Runs Allowed: 152
Projected Record: 33-129
Pythagorean Record: 40-122
Pythagorean Winning %: .247
Let's go get 'em.
