00:00There's the Cleveland Guardians coming up big over the Kansas City Royals, 7-1, Tanabibi

00:11fans 6-0 over Kansas City, and Donnie, the slump continues for the Royals, and this is

00:17not the time of year to be going through a 1-7 on the bounce they've managed to lose.

00:22Yeah, this is crazy.

00:23Like, usually in gambling, right, Dubsie, 7 is usually a great number, 7-7-7 hits your

00:27jackpot, 7 on the opening roll gets you paid in craps here, but 7 for the Guardians means

00:32that's a loss for the Kansas City Royals, and that means, Dubsie, 7 losses in a row.

00:37This is a team that we take a look at for the Kansas City Royals and say to ourselves,

00:40they are a playoff-made team.

00:42They've earned the right, entering in September, to sort of coast to the finish line.

00:45What I mean by coast would be is, let's just play 500 baseball, nobody's probably going

00:49to be able to catch us, but now you see them with 7 straight losses, and every loss that

00:53piles up, you start to get that little bit of that energy, vibe, taken away from that

00:58locker room, and the struggles come out to sea.

01:00Yesterday, handicap in this game, I thought Singer was the better pitcher on the mound,

01:03but he wasn't bad by any stretch here, Dubs.

01:05Five and two-thirds innings pitch, five hits, two earned runs.

01:08That's a quality start that keeps your team in the ballgame, but he was one up by Bybee.

01:12Six innings pitched, only one earned run yesterday, and the bullpen fell out for the Kansas City

01:17Royals.

01:18So many times we saw this year that bullpen hanging on, starting pitching whatever, but

01:22that lineup, one through nine for the Royals, has always come to play.

01:26Bobby Wood Jr., once again, two hits in three at-bats, 340 average, but not a lot of help

01:31behind him, or quite frankly, in front of him here last night.

01:34Tough loss for the Royals, and as I said, every loss that piles up now, that pressure

01:39begins to build and build, because they still have a lead in the wild card.

01:42If the season ended today, Dubsy, they would be in, but boy, if you keep on losing and

01:46maybe extend this to 10 games here, that panic is really going to settle in.

01:50I thought they'd win yesterday, and they got hammered.
