What a wild ride we witnessed in the Royals' recent comeback victory against the Angels! A six-run sixth inning? A double steal executed by Hunter Renfroe and Nick Pratto? This game had it all, and it raises some fascinating questions about the Royals' potential this season.
First off, can we talk about the resilience of this team? Down 7-1, they didn’t just roll over; they fought back with a mix of small ball and power hitting. What does this say about their mentality heading into the regular season? Are we witnessing the birth of a new, scrappy Royals team that thrives under pressure?
And then there’s the pitching situation. Michael Wacha had a rough outing, but he managed to strike out four batters in just over three innings. Is it too early to panic about the pitching staff, or do you think they’ll find their rhythm as the season progresses?
Let’s also discuss the decision-making in the game. The curious case of Yusei Kikuchi being pulled and then brought back for a few batters is puzzling. What’s your take on that? Is it a strategic move or a sign of confusion in the dugout?
Lastly, with the Royals gearing up for split-squad games against the Reds and Guardians, who do you think will stand out? Will Jac Caglianone make the Opening Day roster, and if so, how impactful do you think he can be?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What are your bold predictions for the Royals this season? Will they surprise us, or are we in for another rebuilding year?
