Good times.

It's amazing how a post on an opponent's message board led to a nickname that everyone uses.

When it fits you know it immediately. Most relievers are very demonstrative. Wade bucks that trend. Stone cold emotionless killer.

Such a great nickname, too. It's even better than the Nasty Boys. Hopefully it's as long lived

Meh. Wade admitted himself that he mostly f's around in the Spring. He'll spend entire games throwing only cutters or tinkering with his fastball. Not gonna panic until we see that diminished velo during the season.

Great breakdown in Baseball Prospectus Kansas City today re: Kelvin Herrera's slider.

I didn't realize how dominant the pitch was, but he got a near-30 percent swing-and-miss rate on it over the second half of 1015 and the playoffs.

Just another weapon for him and should make him even more dominant vs RH hitters.

Thank God.

Brian Flynn should have been sent to Siberia.

Is Wang going to make the team

His opt-out isn't until May 1. I bet he gets sent to Omaha for a longer look-see as a starter, and Duensing makes the 25-man out of ST.

I didn't realize Herrera had been throwing the slider for that long.

If Jeurys Familia is on the SI cover, shouldn't there be at least one @Royals player rounding the bases behind him?
