If they don't take two out of three against the Mariners, I might be about there because the Yankees are coming to follow.

But 20 and 30, the state of the league, I could see 84 wins being a playoff.

I heard David Lesky, and he talked about what it would take to get to 86.

I think 84 might get you in the playoffs.

That's still, what, 60?

64 and 48, which I don't think the team is capable of, but it's slightly under 600 balls.

So I wouldn't say it's impossible.

It's like 95 on base.

So I'm not completely on the out, but 50 games have given us no evidence this team can play 16 games over 500 baseball the rest of the year.

And that's to squeak in, perhaps.

It could be more.

I think we missed complete good fortune.

We probably were too, when we assessed the team, we assessed the whole team.

You know, like when Matt was talking about the U.S.

national team soccer, you know, first 11, you might have some real hopes that they can go toe to toe, you know.

I don't even think that's true.

But anyway, their best, you know, playing their best.

But.

Every team in baseball is going to get some injuries, and the Royals are probably more vulnerable than we realize because they just don't have that much depth.

They don't have a good farm system right now.
