2006---
Royals were #30 in Starters ERA, and #20 in Runs Scored.
We were 27 games behind what would have been #2 Wildcard
2016--
Royals are 28th in Starters ERA, and #24 in Runs Scored
We are 1.5 games out of playoffs almost halfway thru season
Thank goodness, for the bullpen, our Resilience at home (several come from behind Wins), and our tough minded ability to win at home (10-1 in 1 run games and 3-0 extra innings at home)
