Fans look at the schedule and see the Royals at 31 games under .500 and think this is a team that is a pushover, but as we mentioned several times on the air last night, they are close to turning things around.

Since June 20, they are leading the majors in runs scored, walks, doubles, on base %, and double plays turned.  With wins and losses, it's a different story.  Buddy Bell has these guys playing the game hard and that's how it should be, but if you don't get pitching you are not going to win.  That's what they need to get to, but believe me, they are going to be a big factor and cause some problems for the contenders as we come down the stretch.
