Even after all that losing, the Royals are holding on to a playoff spot. Sure, it would be nice if we could go back to when they had one clear by five games, but imagine telling any at the start of the season that the Royals could be in playoff position at the start of July. Absolutely wild.

I have uttered the phrase “absolutely wild” about a million times since the end of March. No clue how this all ends, but I do believe they’ll be in the mix until the very end. It’s an incredible turnaround from a year ago.

This game was stressful down to the very last when McArthur fielded Kwan's tapper then nearly threw

it away, a low throw picked by Pasquatch. I officially bit off the last of my fingernails but this game was SO worth it.

An incredibly tense game. If we’re feeling this way in June, how are we going to survive the next three months?

I don't know about you but I'm getting fake fingernails. I can't handle the stress any other way than to chew.

Guardians are due for a little slump, I sure hope the Royals kickstart it

Have you noticed the Royals have wrecked some teams this month? Yankees are 3-9 since leaving KC. The A’s are 1-6 since their series. Rangers are on a 4-game losing streak.

The Royals need to kickstart these slumps DURING their series. Why not now?
