About this episode
Rany Jazayerli (Co-Founder Baseball Prospectus/@Jazayerli) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) are breaking down the Kansas City Royals like no one else can. Let's take a moment to appreciate Zack Greinke. Let's try to explain why Ryan O'Hearn is on the Royals roster and Vinnie Pasquantino is not. Edward Olivares is hitting, so of course he gets hurt.
(1:02) Edward Olivares gets hurt just when Rany was getting excited about his numbers.
(5:04) What can Royals fans get excited about with this team? Witt? Melendez?
(14:28) Let's appreciate Zack Greinke. How remarkable is his success w/out K's?
(29:49) So Jakob Junis isn't good enough for the Royals but he's a stud for the Giants now?
(40:15) Is Ryan O'Hearn still a Royal because they're afraid Vinnie Pasquantino will fail?
(51:18) What would it have really taken for the Royals to get Frankie Montas?
(1:00:23) The good news is Bobby Witt Jr. and M.J. Melendez have good K rates.
(1:02:50) Minor League Minute: Double-A 2B, Michael Massey looks like the real deal.
(1:05:45) Can you squint and see how it comes together for the Royals?
