But you win three out of four, it puts a little life back into the season.

Oh, they've got to crawl within a handful of games of 500 for me.

And that's going to take some real work.

But, you know, if they get hot for a little bit and they're still nine games under 500, which they could be hot for three weeks now and still be nine games under 500.

I'm not going to think, well, yeah, they're better than that.

They shouldn't have been dog meat for a while.

But they'd have to get back to near 500 for relevance to me.

Well, I don't think we thought that two of their very best players would be dreadful.

I mean, Salvi and Vinny have been dreadful.

I mean, even mediocre would be, the Royals would probably have won four or five more games.

So I don't think that's a really bad judgment of the team.

Vinny Pasquantino, when healthy, has basically been a good hitter.

And all of a sudden, he's not.

And every time he shows a little life, here's another 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.

And...

Carter Jensen showed a little bit of, you know, we said, I think I said at the start of the season, I want one of the two to kind of break through.

Well, neither one really has.

They've both sort of shown a few signs, but Jensen's really regressed since a pretty decent start.

And he's just an automatic out right now.

And Caglione has no power, and that's what he's here for.
