I get that argument, and front office people definitely do that... but Moore did kind of stick his neck out. If the Royals do not make the playoffs this year, there's going to be a ton of pressure to fire Moore.
If this team had a losing record, but Odorizzi and Myers were showing flashes, some people would be saying that they're finally "this" close, like the Royals always are, give him one more year.
