This certainly does Kang no favors with anyone who remained skeptical of him after the Chicago hotel incident that somehow dissolved into the ether.

<t>I've made this point on other social media but I'll echo it here. Just in the past few weeks, this team has:<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> -- Gone 5-1 on a West Coast trip<br/> <br/> -- Gone 1-5 on a homestand<br/> <br/> -- Won 4 straight<br/> <br/> -- Lost 4 straight<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> That adds up...
