Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/0DWS6R\/\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Royals have started the season 5-7. It feels a lot worse than that, probably because the Royals\u2019 run differential of -12 means that they could easily have a worse record. There are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalsreview.com\/kansas-city-royals-analysis\/96452\/the-royals-are-learning-from-their-losses\">some reasons<\/a> to think the team will get out of this slump and still do well on the year, but it can absolutely be hard to consider those when the team is coming off its worst loss of the season. Especially when that loss included the team\u2019s ace exiting the game before he was able to complete a single inning due to yet another injury. Sure, it\u2019s a thumb contusion caused by a comebacker to the mound, not a muscle or ligament injury that\u2019s likely to sideline him for long. But it <em>feels<\/em> like it fits the pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But outside of that, the starting rotation has been pretty good. So maybe your concern is the outfield, which is doing much better than last year, but hasn\u2019t exactly been lighting the world on fire with its power. Or maybe the bullpen, which has already allowed a pair of walkoffs to opponents to begin the year. Or maybe it\u2019s even the infield, where Bobby Witt Jr and Vinnie Pasquantino are having their traditional slow starts, and Salvador Perez hasn\u2019t added much beyond his two home runs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Regardless, vote in this poll and let us know where your biggest concerns are so we can talk about them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.royalsreview.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB.
