Kansas City Royals top Veteran Star Player bids farewell to club in tears…
The Royals dropped their seventh game in a row Tuesday, extending their longest losing streak of the year. It comes at an inopportune time, as they are taking on the toughest part of their schedule with just a few weeks remaining in the season. The streak was punctuated by the loss of run-producer Vinnie Pasquantino on Thursday night, and the team has scored just nine runs in the games since then.
The streak has been the culmination of many things going badly at once. The team is hitting just .166/.233/.274 during the streak. They have left 39 runners on base during the streak. The bullpen has given up 19 earned runs in 19 innings during the streak, an ERA of 9.00 that is the worst in baseball over that time.
The team is trying to find a solution to get back on the winning side of things, looking to get back to doing the “little things” to find ways to get on base. But some fans have blamed a lack of caring on the part of the players or a disruption of chemistry. It seems Twitter is full of body language experts.
