‘Changed to last place’ Kansas City, last place overall, ‘total crisis’

adminSeptember 4, 2023

The overall ranking of the Oakland Athletics, who seemed poised to have their worst performance ever, went up one level. The Kansas City Royals fell to 30th place out of 30 teams.

Kansas City had a home game against the Boston Red Sox at Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, USA on the 4th (Korean time).

On this day, Kansas City lost 3-7 after Zack Greinke, the team’s second pitcher, gave up 3 runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Accordingly, Kansas City recorded 42 wins, 96 losses, and a winning percentage of 0.304 for the season until today, giving up 29th place to the Oakland Athletics, who had 42 wins, 95 losses, and a winning percentage of 0.307.메이저사이트

As of today, Kansas City has a goal-loss margin of -189, far ahead of Oakland with -296. However, the performance is not commensurate with the gain/loss margin.

Their battle for 29th and 30th place is expected to continue throughout this month. The 28th ranked Colorado Rockies have 50 wins, 86 losses, and a winning percentage of 0.368 as of today, showing a fairly large gap with them.

The reason for my bad grades is simple. There are few good pitchers and hitters. Brady Singer, Jordan Lyles, and Greinke, who are in the starting rotation, all have an ERA of 5 or more.

Also, in the batting lineup, except for Bobby Witt Jr., there is no hitter with an OPS exceeding 0.800. Salvador Perez has 21 home runs, but his on-base percentage is in the .200 range.

Guo Guo-jin, as well as all four pitchers who have appeared in more than 30 games, are recording an ERA above 4 points. Aroldis Chapman, who pitched well, was traded.

Kansas City’s heyday was in the mid-1980s, when George Brett was active, and in the mid-2010s, when it won the World Series thanks to its powerful relief lineup. During this time, he won twice.

The best performance was in 1977 with 102 wins, 60 losses and a winning percentage of 0.630, and the worst performance was this season. Previously, the lowest winning percentage was 0.346 in 2005.
