Does anyone think this team looks like a WS contender right now?

Not right now it is August.  WS doesn’t start til October.

This how I look watching this team 90% of the time.

Hitting slumps happen, but base running mistakes and defensive errors are not excusable. These are MLB ballplayers they should be able to execute fundamentals.

These guys need a slump buster 

[Hank Scorpio]

Why does it have to be so painful? Is it youth? Brandon Hyde? Injuries?

What is it?

You see, Brandon Hyde holds this team to a very high standard.

Yeah, this team is not very fundamentally sounds, that's for sure. That is on Hyde and his coaching staff.

Can someone please explain to me why our best hitters can’t hit anymore.  Seriously.  Snarky comments welcome, but I really want to understand wtf happened.

[Roy Firestone]

punch Tovar out Albert.

[LookitsPuck]

Would like the APR rule to be applied when Eloy bats. He’ll have an Automatic Pinch Runner whenever he gets a hit.

[Just Regular]

Royals broke up Framber-Abreu no-hit bid in the 8th, still a 1-0 game.

They had a graphic since 2019 it was something like the Astros 17th no-hit bid of 7+ innings - next 2 teams were like 8 and 7.

We're third in the MLB in runs per game!

Wow, that was a hell of a catch, but come on now, Jackson can't tag there unless it was an easy safe. Bad base running.

If he makes it he can score on a sac fly. That increases the chance of scoring by about 30%. Probably worth it if you can get there 60-70% of the time. I don't really have an issue with trying it.
