Fellow Royals fan Joe Posnanski then wondered if the laughing gas hadn't been left on for too long at Rany's office ("How bad is an OPS+ of 69?"). But now J.C. Bradbury at Sabernomics has revisited the matter, prompted by a Mark Bradley suggestion. Bradbury proceeds to bash the hopes of teenage ...
