Solid 3rd place in the central.  If you think they have a shot at the playoffs you are really thinking with your heart and not your head.
Pitching is down from last year. Unless the bats come alive, they should go the opposite direction from last year.

Ventura is a real stud, though. He's going to be an ace one day.

Oh, I know. We're just going to need to really luck out this year with some of our prospects.

We have started great early many seasons, our mid season tank, then sorta kinda recover, then play well for like a week, then 2 week slump is what does us in.  IIRC we were towards the top of the division for the first part of last year, then had that garbage stretch, which mumped us at the end of the season.

This is accurate.  Although the Royals played quite well down the stretch, the midseason tank was the difference.

That said, I am optimistic about this year's version of the Royals, as long as Ned learns how to handle a bullpen, especially in the middle innings. As far as the late innings go, I cringed last night when Phys said that Wade Davis would likely be the 8th innning guy. Wade needs to go.

Yeah... this is the year that Ned finally learns how to handle a bullpen, in his 11th year as a manager.  Zero playoff appearances in ten years FWIW.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I'm well aware of the rule, I'm just surprised you weren't aware of something that has been happening for like ten years.
