***Official Royals @ Red Sox game thread 8/28***
Ventura, 9-9, 4.27 ERA vs Rodriguez, 2-5, 5.11 ERA
This is a huge game. Detroit, Seattle, New York, Houston, and Cleveland all lost today. If we win today, we will be 5.5 games back in the division, 3 games back in the second wildcard, and just 4 games back of the first wildcard spot. It's time for our Royals to start another long winning streak! |

This is pretty much a must-win. Failed to make up ground last night, can't waste another opportunity when it presents itself.

I don't see a must win yet. 4 GB of the WC with a home stand coming up against NYY and DET. The Must Wins are next week IMO

I'm sorry, but when you have a chance right in front of you to make up ground on a crowded field -- when the odds already are against you -- you have to win. You can't say, eh, get em next week. You need lots of these chances to present themselves, and you don't know how many are left with so few games remaining.

I don't, however, disagree with your premise: it's good to strike while the iron is hot ![]()

Could be a nice night. A chance to gain a game on both teams ahead of us in the division, as well as the Mariners, Astros, and Yankees.
Let's do this boys. |

If we lose, we went 3 and 3 on a brutal road trip against two playoff quality teams. If we win, we went 4 and 2. But the Royals put themselves in the position that 4 and 2 is pretty huge. It's not a must win because there are 30 some games left, but we can't let games like this slide by, games that we have the pitching matchup in our favor.
In for the win. |

I keep hoping Hosmer & Morales get into one of their hot streaks when everything they hit is hard.
