Rotation hasn't been quite as good as it was supposed to be, but it hasn't been bad.

The offense has had streaks where they've been pretty good, but apparently in retrospect when we were looking at what we missed is we had to see the best of the Royals, and we have certainly not.

But I think the best of the Royals, if they can put that together, is good enough to be a solidly above 500 team.

If they can do that for the rest of the year, they got a shot.

But they're putting themselves in a position also where they're obviously pressing.

I think Pasquantino needs probably two weeks of good play to get over the scar tissue of being.

I think he feels this.

He feels like I'm responsible for this.

He said that out loud.

And unfortunately, he's he's right.

He's not the only reason, but he's a huge part of it.

That certainly is possible.

I mean, he's had some kind of issue with his body, sort of a hockey, they just say.

He's out with a lower body injury or upper body injury.

He's had, like, one of those every year, kind of.

So, yes, that could absolutely be the case.

And another thing that's happening here is that

the Royals might be conspiring to cost their best player an MVP award again.

Because if, you know, judges are playing well right now, but say Oakland wins their division and Langoliers is still OPSing at 1,200 while playing catcher, he's going to win.

So that's just a little sidelight of it.
