Not again!

So, it's mid-April again. That means warmer temperatures and baseball is back! The Royals went out and got a couple of new starting pitchers and brought in some good young players to hopefully get things going.

Well, one week in and we're 2-5 and the more things change, the more they look the same. Our new pitchers are now 1-3 through their first 4 starts and our can't-miss prospect who hasn't hit less than .300 at any level in college and in the minors, suddenly can't hit anything. He was batting .040 last I saw with at least 9 strikeouts. SO frustrating. I'm sure he's just as frustrated and it showed last night. I watched him strike out on a pitch way out of the strike zone and you could just see the look on his face. It was pretty painful.

Ah, well. Here's to hoping they go on a good run soon and get things going again. Hope is all Royals' fans have to hold on to most of the time.
