There was a time this season when it felt as though the Kansas City Royals would have been dead in the water without reliever John Schreiber. Unfortunately, of late, the team's playoff hopes seem all but over, and Schreiber has played a part in making sure they've looked dead in the water as the campaign winds down.
Every reliever in baseball is going to have a rough period here and there. Even some of the best bullpen arms in the game go through stretches where they look like they've never recorded an out. It's more the timing of Schreiber's struggles that makes his mistakes more aggravating.
