Last season the Royals longest losing streak of the season was four games. This spring they’re already halfway there.

The Royals may be in a little bit of a slump, but there’s never a better time to find yourself in a slump than when it matters the least.

Tonight the Royals get a chance to break out of this slump and wash away any doubt that may be surrounding how good they are. Tonight they’ll face off against the San Diego Padres in their first televised game of Spring Training.

For those people with MLB Network, the game will be aired at 9:10 P.M. Eastern Time. It’s a chance for Royals’ fans to see their team live, at least on television,  for the first time this spring.

Yordano Ventura will get the start for the Royals this time around. If he doesn’t make it out of the second inning, it’s no big deal. That is, as long as it’s performance related and not due to some kind of injury.

It’s also a chance to see some of the positional battles unfold. All of the candidates for the right field option may get a shot at playing tonight. If nothing else, it’s always fun to see the younger prospects in game action.

It gives people a chance to see their stars, or players, of the future with no real implications in the outcome of the game. Let’s put it this way: It’s much better to see all of the prospects now, than start seeing them called up in droves in August because the season is basically over.

The Royals aren’t that team anymore, so if anyone want’s a glimpse at what the future holds, now is the time to tune in.
