Schriber has turned back into a pumpkin, he was a relied upon constantly in high leverage situations. The bullpen is such a mess, scuttled the season.

Stupid ****ing franchise sent Pennington back to AAA. As if this team isn't riddled with shitty RPs that should be DFA'd over Pennington getting demoted.

2024 GDT Starter Standings
Boring, gray, wet Sunday here, where Hurricane Beryl is starting to deliver rain and wind. Fortunately, it's landfall path has developed more to our northeast. I was wondering how the Royals record correlates to our GDTs, and used the Advanced Search and Excel to answer the question.
The standings are obviously just for the hell of it, and skewed by the vast differences in GDT started by frequent and not-as-frequent posters. Nevertheless, they are weighted first by Games Back (0.5 games each per advantage in the Win and Loss columns) rather than Winning Percentage (just as with MLB standings). Just like the Royals themselves, GabyKeepsMeWarm and cmh6476 started out especially hot, but have racked up mostly Ls lately. Last edited by GeorgeZimZam; 08-24-2024 at 05:13 PM.. |

So right now the Royals are 9th in the majors in run differential.
I posted this on a different thread, but want to put it here. I think run differential is a huge indicator of how good your team is. Just look at previous world series winners and where they ranked. 23 - Rangers 4th in MLB 22 - Astros 3rd 21 - Braves 7th 20 - Dodgers 1st 19 - Nationals 6th 18 - Red Sox 2nd 17 - Astros 3rd 16 - Cubs 1st 15 - Royals 5th 14 - Giants Tied 8th 13 - Red Sox 1st 12 - Giants 9th 11 - Cardinals 7th 10 - Giants 3rd 09 - Yankees 2nd 08 - Phillies 3rd 07 - Red Sox 1st 06 - Cardinals 14th 05 - White Sox 7th 04 - Red Sox 2nd 03 - Marlins 11th 02 - Angels 1st 01 - Diamondbacks 3rd 00 - Yankees Tied 8th 99 - Yankees 3rd 98 - Yankees 1st 97 - Marlins 7th 96 - Yankees 3rd 95 - Braves 3rd 93 - Blue Jays 5th 92 - Blue Jays 3rd 91 - Twins 2nd 90 - Reds 5th Going back 32 years the average MLB run differential ranking is 4th. Run differential seems to be a really good indicator of who the best teams are. 19% of teams that won the world series between 1990 and 2023 were ranked 1st in run differential in all of the majors. 60% of teams were ranked in the top 3 of run differential and 72% of teams were ranked in the top 5. Run differential seems like one of the best indicators of how good a team was. |

With Bobby's swing I can really see him getting into a groove if they throw it to his sweet spot.
