That play.... It just might carry over. I'm loving life in Jon Voit's car right now.

I read an article a few days ago on either espn or cbs (having a hard time finding it via my phone) that said Gordon, Cain, and Perez should win this year and that Escobar is in the top 3 along with Hosmer despite poor saber metrics for Hos, but those metrics aren't great for 1st basemen yet.

I hope SOMEHOW they can retain Santana. Doubtful.
Regardless for next year if they can have near the SP and BP they will contend as long as they add a 2b and RF'er. I like bono as a util guy. Also...gotta consider trading Holland if there is an excellent offer. Hochevar pitched in a high leverage situation and it didn't phase him. Hope he is brought back (cant believe i said that) but he's found his nitch. Been a fun year, c'mon Royals |

Will be happy if they add ONE of 2B and RF. And I think Hochevar is a much more likely trade target' as he is more expensive and has just one year of control remaining. Time to do what Tampa did with Wade Davis and find some team convinced he can start again ... Or some team that needs a closer and thinks Hochevar is their answer.

Damn, guys, if we just play .480 baseball in May we're probably the No. 1 wild card right now. |

Kind of off-topic, but I hope we retain Hoch. At the very least, he could be trade bait in the offseason that might net us something very nice (2b or RF, preferably).

Royals playoff odds (4.6%) are now higher than the Orioles on baseball prospectus.
The Rangers dropped a whopping 10% last night, they are now only 69.4%.

3.5 GB with 14 to play, and leaping 4 teams = damn near perfection

Add in that some of the other teams play tough schedules too, and it doesn't seem quite as impossible.

If the Royals beat Scherzer today, I'll truly start to believe that supernatural forces are finally intervening on our behalf.
And IFFFFFFFF that happens, I'm calling it right now...a 6 game home sweep against the Indians/Rangers. |
