Since July 12, the Kansas City Royals have gone 12-12, a significant improvement from what they had been doing from mid-May through the end of June. But time is running out for the Royals; the hole was dug, and treading water in the moat isn’t enough to get the team to the promised land—Kansas City has to climb out of the hole and make some progress by stringing together some wins. Their next two consecutive victories in August will be their first of the month.
Fortunately, the Royals do have the winds in their sails a bit here. The Nationals stink, and the White Sox stink, and the Rangers are in a tailspin right now. The next 10 games against those opponents will be at home sweet home in Kauffman Stadium. It’s a favorable week and a half to be sure, but the Royals need to win, at minimum seven of those contests to realistically put themselves in a position to make a September run at relevance.
The season isn’t over. Tonight could be the night we point to as the de facto start of the Royals’ next playoff run.
