Just keep Lynch out there and maybe his arm will explode.

Royals are a good young team that seemed a little ‘ahead of schedule’ this year.
They’re still a good young team. They just don’t belong among the elites yet. And that’s okay. Still think they’ve got a good chance of snagging a WC this year. And I wouldn’t be totally shocked if Cleveland collapsed at some point. Long season still . . . . This team is fun when they’re on, which has been a lot this year. Enjoy them. |

I don't know if the 2014/15 Royals would have done any better against the Yankees. Fortunately, they were knocked out before the Royals would have faced them. Some teams just don't match up well against others. The Yankee hitters have a lot more discipline at the plate and wear our pitching out while the Royals hitters get anxious and start swinging at everything which just makes it easier on their pitching.
As long as the Royals don't face the Yankees in the playoffs; they are fine. Starting out games behind at home in the first inning is never a good start. It takes the fans out immediately. |

Yankees are about to be 49-21. That's not just good it's great. It's a 113 win pace. We definitely weren't up to the challenge in this series. Also our lack of depth overall is still a thing, Salvy's been slumping and Massey and Renfroe got hurt just as they were heating up and the Yankees hitters have worn the pitching down. They're still near the top of the league in runs and have a good rotation. Hopefully this has been a good learning experience.

Royals can literally go .500 the rest of the season and will make the playoffs more than likely.

What holes? They have one of the best offenses in the AL. They have the best D in the league. The starters have been great for pretty much all season. The relief pitchers aren't good, but we can get a good one or 2 at the deadline

Are you willing to trade away all of the prospect the Royals have for some relief pitchers?

BTW I really hate the Yankees and I am super disappointed the Royals from the manager to the players are intimidated by them.

The good news is this brutal stretch we've had of playing playoff teams is almost over.
After the Dodgers we won't have one of these stretches ever again. |
