KC Royals Links and Home Opener Live Thread

Links and Live threads for today’s KC Royals home opener

Good afternoon KC Royals faithful!

Lots going on at the K today. Home opener. #ACE30 memorial. New concession items (which won’t really affect those of you here, probably).

If you’re trapped at work (like lots of us) and need a place to talk KC Royals, this is as good a spot as any. We’ll be below in the comments talk bullpen problems, why Paulo Orlando is better than people think (okay, that’s probably just me), what to do with The Four Heading Toward Free-Agency and more.

Since this needs to hit a word count minimum to hit Google’s SEO metric (hey, look at me, pandering for site hits–I’m getting better at this), let’s scoop up some links from around the web.

What to Know for Opening Day (KC Star) – All the details for the big day, except for the part about best coverage. That would be us.

Kansas City Royals leading MLB… in Crazy Food (KCUR) – So the Sunrise Dog actually sounds pretty delicious. The pulled pork patty melt sounds like it would kill you.

The 30 Week 1 (CBSSports) – In case you were trapped under a rock or had better things to do like spending time with loved ones or (fill in any activity better than spending time with loved ones), Jonah Keri is here to describe the KC Royals bullpen and its perfectly hellish opening week.

Mike Moustakas Back to 2015 Form (KCKingdom) – FanSided sister site KCKingdom with a dive into Moose’s return to his breakout 2015 standing.

The Royals are Struggling With Middle Relief in the Seventh Inning (KCStar) – Lee Judge with another take on the bad, bad badness of the KC Royals bullpen.

(We mentioned the bullpen was bad, right?)

Brandon Finnegan Improves Again, Probably (FanGraphs) – He would be useful right now and as Eno Sarris points out, he’s probably still improving.

Next: The Case for Paulo

Got all that? Good. Join us in the comments.
