This season has been a tale of two stretches for Baltimore. In the first half of the season in 2017 - Jonathan Schoop was getting to the plate with a confident approach. He dropped a batting avg of .295 with 18 home runs, 54 RBI's, and picked up 19 walks. In the last half of games it has gone to even better levels, with 4 home runs, 18 RBI's, and 2 walks in a handful of games, along with a .352 batting avg. He is someone who is genuinely feeling the game right now, on all levels. Vargas was not so good giving up 6 runs when playing Detroit a few days ago. Kansas City seems to put together 2-3 good starts and then 3-4 terrible starts. This team is not capable of having a stretch of decent well played baseball. They have a real lack of talent. The Royals seem to have been on the brink of becoming a decent team, for too long, their success window is shutting. Baltimore and their bats are heating up as they've now won 4 straight.
