Family have been watching the regional broadcast of giants games the last few days and they have their own hud clone and it drives me crazy.

For those who are outside of the KC region or who don't get Bally Sports, tonight's game is on ESPN.

What say the posters ITT, are the Royals wildcard contenders or pretenders? Mondesi appears to be out again, so take that under advisement.  I think I’m in the not going to contend camp currently.

Win it all this year or move the team somewhere else.

I think it depends on if Mondi can stay healthy and consistently produce. I think that's asking a lot.

the royals have been the model of consistency in their 13 game pods, except for that one pod where they were like, trying to lose?

pod 1: W 8-5
pod 2: W 8-5
pod 3: L 2-11
pod 4: W 8-5

if they can just get to 2 runs, they win 62% of the time (26-16)
it's when they score 0 or 1 run that they suck complete crap (0-10)

current pythag projected record: 76-86

That 11 game losing streak was/is maddening. Even going 4-7 or even 3-8 in that streak puts them right behind the white sox and also no one even really thinks about it. It's the only real (but very big) blight on the season so far.

The rest has been some pretty good fun and there are some tasty thoughts about how the season plays out. But more than likely they'll keep this around or just above .500 by the break, and then other teams will make moves, Royals won't, and they end about where mocat's predicto has em at.

At least they aren't bad or hapless.

I think we’re a roughly .500 team plus or minus. Get Witt and some pitching reinforcements next year and make a push for the wild card / hope the Sox fall apart.

LF and 1B were two really great off-season acquisitions, kudos to Moore.

Oh my yes. This team (as you said a few posts) is a couple of good pitchers and another bat/Mondi actually being healthy away from being legit WC team, maybe more.

The pre-11 game streak was so hopeful because they were doing good teams do, win series, and did it super well.

Still as competitive team, they aren't bottom of the barrel by a long shot.

the 2021 royals have a stupid attraction to prolonged losing streaks.
