Anne Rogers writes about the winless homestand.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t good,\u201d shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. said. \u201cIt was bad. You got to flush it and have an off-day tomorrow, and that\u2019s all you can do right now. Can\u2019t change what happened in those games. But also, you can just learn from it. And we got to learn from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we just got beat by teams that we could beat. Can\u2019t have that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaylon Thompson wrote about the players\u2019-only meeting on Saturrday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Several Royals affirmed they want to win. But those expectations have, at times, added pressure, which has turned into frustration. The Royals carried that elevated temperament home. It has lingered in the clubhouse during the losing skid: five games, all at home. The hope is that the meeting will offer a clean slate. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a little bit of everything,\u201d Witt said. \u201cEven when you are at home, you are thinking about it. You are at the field, you are thinking about it. So it\u2019s just one of those things where it\u2019s: \u2018How do I get back to being myself?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s been not good,\u201d Witt said. \u201c… I just gotta get back to being myself, and not trying to put pressure on myself, but just really try to go out there, be comfortable and confident and enjoy the game.<\/p>\n

\u201c… It\u2019s frustrating that I\u2019m not doing what I\u2019m capable of doing, and doing it very poorly. I just gotta get back to being myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan India should be okay after suffering a shoulder subluxation.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had this plenty of times in the past,\u201d India said. \u201cDealt with it before. Hasn\u2019t happened in years. It was an unfortunate subluxation in my shoulder. Took a little bit to go back in, but I\u2019ll be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n
