Think about this season with me for a second:
The Royals lose their closer, center fielder, catcher and fan-favorite young arm all in two months.
A 12-game (10 at home) losing streak ends all buzz about #OurTime before it really gets off the ground.
Eric Hosmer has the most unlucky streak among major league players (extremely low BABIP).
All that and the Royals were only 6 games back of .500 last week. But then a golden opportunity is wasted by losing 5 of 6 to Minnesota and Pittsburgh.
If the Royals could've won 4 of 6 they'd be tied with Detroit. And then there's a good chance that:
Wil Myers is called up.
Jake Odorizzi at least gets a look to come up.
The Royals are in the race, only back five games of Chicago.
This was THE most critical stage of the Royals' season, and they failed miserably. The rotation is in shambles, the offense is inept, and there is really no reason to start the service clocks of prize prospects until it's Our Time in 2013. This has just been a confusing, sad, embarrassing moment in Royals' history.
