if anybody ever says our pitching is the problem then you know that person is a dumb person
Our lack of scoring runs on the road is the main problem
But that does not meen starting pitching isn't an issue. We are 24th in Starters ERA, giving up the most HRs (71) in the 4th fewest innings pitched. We allow a HR every 5.1 Inning
Since May 8th, our starters on the road have allowed 78 ER and 35 HRs in 115.2 Innings
That's a 6.07 ERA, giving up a HR every 3.1 Inning.
Powercat Posse, if you told me the royals starting pitchers would double the record for the most home runs given up in a season, and the royals would still finish the season giving up the 2nd fewest runs in the AL, i would be like, 10 year old on christmas morning happy about that.
Powercat Posse, if you told me that the royals batters would double the record for the most home runs hit in a single season, but they would still finish 3rd to last in the AL in runs scored, i would be like, 10 year old whose dog just died sad about that.
