Game 74 - 6/25/2006

Brewers 0, Royals 6

Is Dayton Moore doing this? Since his hiring, the Royals are 10-7. The Royals' overall play has improved including, most importantly, their pitching. This upswing also coincides with the return of David DeJesus from the DL. Perhaps a combination of having your starting center fielder back, moving him to left to allow a speedy Joey Gathright to take over in center, and the overall improvement of the pitching staff has more to do with it than who is sitting in the GM's chair. But it was Moore who boldly traded his best pitching prospect to get Gathright.

Whatever it is, let's hope it continues. The Royals are finally trending upward, allowing us to finally use our green up arrow for the first time all season. While the Royals are still on pace to lose 110 games, if this improvement continues they could possibly, after all, break 100.

The Bell Curve
Actual Record 23-50
Expected Record 24-49
Runs Scored 307
Runs Allowed 448
Projected Record 52-110
Pythagorean Record 52-110
Pythagorean Winning% 0.319

Let's go get 'em
