Just saw it on SportsCenter.

Yeah that seemed like the type of play you look back on if they make a long playoff run.

Although I did see in the boxscore that they were in that spot because Hader gave up a HR. Just a reminder of how lucky the Royals were to the bullpen we had. The Brewers have a killer bullpen and Hader is supposed to be the most cyborg-like of all of them, and even he's had 3-4 hiccups down the stretch.

Mondesi does it again. Three run bomb off Andrew Miller to give the Royals the lead.

Not what the Indians want to see before the playoffs either, we're lighting Miller up. O'Hearn gets a solid RBI single off him... very good sign with the way O'Hearn has hit lefties.

Mondesi on fire

Hopefully this isn't just a mirage. I've seen the Royals do this before when it doesn't matter.

Saw that Mondesi has more home runs this month than Escobar has had in any year of his career or something crazy like that.

Lmao

Actually this does matter, especially for the young guys that will be on the team next year.

I don’t think Mondesi is a mirage. This is a supremely talented player finally having his tools click and match production.

Ryan O’Hearn might be a mirage.

But I think there are plenty of reasons to be at least intrigued, if not outright hopeful, about 2019. Merrifield and Mondesi are a pretty formidable 1-2 combination that will create a lot of runs and put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses.

A healthy Soler hitting somewhere behind them is exciting to me.

It will be fun to see what O’Hearn does in a full season (either way). Dozier has been promising to close the season (and after is written him off, too).

I’m also pumped to see Nicky Lopez. He could provide a major upgrade defensively at 2B (where Merrifield is good but not great) and that high-contact, high-OBP lefty bat could be a really nice sandwhich between Merrifield and Mondesi.

I don't believe Mondesi is a mirage either. His pedigree is so high and this was expected. I hope O'Hearn isn't one because if he's not and Soler comes back like he was playing then this O could be pretty damn good. I'm hoping the pitchers that have shown flashes can put it together a whole year. May be a surprising team

Hope he gets both. Really hope he is NOT traded.

Pretty cool for him. He did kinda get lucky Altuve got hurt. He typically has 200+ hits every year.

So is he being sarcastic about people calling his season last year a "fluke"?
That's pretty funny. Good for him.
