I like how you dig into the games, and particularly the pitching. While it has been frustrating at times, if you squint just slightly there are some things to be really excited about. I'm liking what I am seeing from Lynch and Hernandez, not the least of which is how they bounce back from poor outings (and really haven't been too many). Singer and Bubic and Keller can dominate, but are frustratingly inconsistent. If these two younger guys can begin to smooth out the rough spots, and we fill out the rotation with a Kowar, or down the road Lacey, things could get very interesting (how would Keller's power arm look out of the bullpen?!). I also hope the Royals are willing to think outside the box with all these young arms (and Minor for now). Maybe a six-man rotation? A thought-provoking article from Yahoo sports today: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/did-the-brewers-discover-the-new-secret-to-pitching-success-in-2021-191712279.html Thanks for the great content, David!

My frustration with Singer begins and end with his mental make up. The O'Hern error seemed to knock Singer off his "game" and the next thing you know, Royals are down 3. Singer has got to let things go and focus on the next pitch/batter. There is no reason he should have walked those 2 guys in the first. We can blame O'Hern for his part in the melt down but your pitcher can and has to take control when things unravel- Each play starts with him!
