Kansas City Royals

I think that there's been a stretch there where we're not playing good baseball, and I thought for the last four games, five games, we've been playing good baseball.

A tie at the top of the AL West, the Royals roughed up the Astros 5-2, while the Rangers scored three in the seventh to get past the Red Sox 7-3.

Houston holds the tiebreaker over Texas.

Rays dropped the A's 4-3 for a fifth consecutive victory.

Um, so like I don't know with him.

Now interesting, um, Chris Bubic, um- They traded for him from your Kansas City Royals-

Mm-hmm

... uh, on August 3rd at the trade deadline.

I think of you mentioned another team that was someone's popping into mind.

Even go back to like some of those Royals teams where they had Kelvin Herrera, Colin Wade Davis, like There is often even in a bullpen that isn't great.

There's usually one guy like the Phillies this year is a great example.

Not exactly sure.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, but all signs point to Juan Gonzalez partaking in the drug of the day, which was the steroids.

Astros, yay, the Astros beat the Royals.

Let's talk about Mikel Garcia.

We're going to be talking more about this guy.

Padres pound the Rockies 9-3.

Royals crown the first place Astros 5-2.

Orioles over the Mets in New York 7-1.

He did it again.

I mean, there's a whole team dynamic here that you do have to think about.

And I go back to the Royals in 14 and 15 when Jeremy Guthrie stunk up the joint.

And everybody's like, get rid of Jeremy Guthrie.

And they're like, you don't understand how these organizations work.

That's right.

We'll get to it next here on 96.5 The Fan, your home for Kansas City sports.

You're listening to Fesco and Dusty on your home for Royals baseball.

96.5 The Fan.

come

on the wild card i've got nothing against detroit well we've got we've got the red socks we do and the uh the white socks have detroit kansas city and colorado Okay,

Detroit, Kansas City, Colorado.

And they have ten games left.

We have nine games left.

we end with the Royals, and I do think that on paper, before the season started, when you look at the Royals' youth and Bobby Witt and...

Joe Gaglione or whoever that guy is over there who's a nice young player for them.

I think maybe they thought that last three games would be a Cleveland-Kansas City for the division type of thing.

Detroit, Kansas City...

Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals I think I think there might be one more team in there but I do have a lot of hope for the Pirates our bullpen's been fixed we have Weaver for another year and he looks so much better after his poison ivy's gone night and day difference for him um Mason Montgomery man if he keeps us up he will be the best closer in all of baseball and we have until 2031 I think him Jake Mangum who's also been doing really well So I have a lot of hope for the future of this team.

You can tell the focus has been on the future lately.

And it's really exciting to see.

The White Sox have an easier road at it.

I mean, they got the Royals coming up, then they got the Rockies.

These are two last place teams that were basically eliminated a long time ago.

But I go back to what he's done, where it's overwhelming patience.
