Great story. I saw Lima at a gas station near Gladstone. I asked him if he was gonna win his next start. And he goes "Of course it's gonna be Lima Time baby" all smiles

I think everyone needed the day off. It looks like our best chance of making the post season is by finishing ahead of the Twins and Mariners.

I hope they can still make the playoffs. Missing at this point would turn what should be viewed as an amazingly successful season and step forward into a major disappointment.
The lineup is just too thin. Losing Pasquantino was such a blow, as well. Having that lefty balance for Witt and Perez (and a guy who could consistently take good ABs behind Witt and simply be productive and not miss opportunities with bad Ks) was so crucial. I still credit Picolo for the work he did to try to patch it up. That injury happened so late there wasn't a lot they could do, but they tried. Make the playoffs. Have some fun there. And give reason for hope/optimism in 2025. The free agent list is pretty lackluster, so finding offensive help isn't going to be easy (unless you can make a Cody Bellinger marriage happen. It would be risky, as you'd be buying into a guy about to enter his age 29 season, who has taken a step back this year and also has some injury concerns). I'd probably try to spend some money on a FA starter (bring back Wacha for sure, and then either re-sign Lorenzen or even try to upgrade from him) and then look at what I could do on the trade market with the surplus SP.

today I expect that the Royals, Rays, Marlins, and Astros will all win.

I hope the Royals make it in by a game over Boston.
And Boston looks at the finishing kicks Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell had in AAA and regrets that they ****ed around with service time over trying to actually make the post-season. Man I hate it when organizations just do not demonstrate any urgency at all. The players are trying their asses off and their front offices just...aren't.

Ok Royals, it's past time to put up or shut up. (As they say). Should be a sweep of DC, but who knows.

This is still in the Royals hands. Luckily the Twins shit the bed hard or else this losing streak would have sucked even worse than it did. Just remember the Royals had a 7 game losing streak from the end of August into September and then from the 4th through the 14th they went 7-2. We have 6 games to go and we probably make it in if we can just get 3 wins. I think we are for sure in if we go 4-2.
