Sorry, I know none of you guys care about the Royals, but they are off to their best start (sans 2015) since 2003.
Now, 2003 was a tailspin after the All-Star break, so they can still crash and burn.
The middle of the lineup has to start hitting and a couple starters have to start earning their keep, but this team reminds me a lot of the 2013-2015 teams. Lots of nail biters, a little luck, and shut down bullpen. The defense has been rocky, but I expect that to change.
They're also still without their best prospect and starting SS.
Before the season, predictions were the Royals and Tigers duking it out for last in the AL Central.
Looks like a ticket package is in my future.
