Things looked pretty dire after the game on July 2nd.
The Royals, in Seattle to take on the Mariners, lost 3-2 to fall to 40-47, the second time in a short span the team found itself seven games under .500. The offense couldn’t figure it out, June had been a disaster, and now the Royals dropped yet another one-run, low-scoring affair.
Now, if after that game, I’d told you that before playing on August 19 against the Rangers, the Royals would be riding a four-game winning streak that left them 64-61, I don’t think you would’ve believed me.
You definitely wouldn’t have believed me if I then added the 20 following things this team has gone through since Opening Day.
But, as they say, that’s baseball.
Despite all of that, the Royals are in it. They’re competing for a playoff spot. They have life in them.
Really, what they’ve achieved in the face of such adversity is incredible.
