Quillback Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 They're playing some decent ball lately. I can't see them making the playoffs however. I think they need to add a good starting pitcher and a big bat or two to be playoff contenders. Rumblings are that the Phillies are willing to part with Cliff Lee, but I doubt the Royals will step up.
Lancer09 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I don't know that starting pitching is really what they need. I think if they were able to get some serious offensive production out of someone at 2nd they would have a better chance. If Duffy or Paulino can lock the fifth starting spot down I think they would have an even better chance. They need to keep putting up runs like they have been as well too.
Justin Spencer Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 They just need a some run support. Pitching has been outstanding, even on this winning streak they still can't score any runs. If they can score 4 or 5 a game they could make a push for the playoffs.

Lancer09 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 It will be tough. Catching Detroit at seven back but if they continue to just come out ahead in their series's they could do it.
Quillback Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 2 games over .500 now. They've been playing well, winning 8 of the last 10, but unfortunately Detroit has won 9 out of the last 10. Didn't do much before the trade deadline, adding a right handed batting platoon type outfielder. I was hoping they would get a bat at 2nd base. It will be interesting to see what they do during the off season.
Lancer09 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 And make that three over now, and 9 in a row! Plus in our Mets series we don't face Harvey.
Quillback Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Went 12 today, but they pulled off a win.
Justin Spencer Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Still gotta start scoring some runs, pitching can't be great everyday.

Quillback Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah they need a bat or two. Tejada is hitting .300 but they don't play him that often. Looked at the standings today, Royal have won 9 of the last 10, but so have Cleveland and Detroit.
