I'll give it up for Q there, a lot of Royals managers wouldn't make that move 8 games into the season. Smith isn't some young guy he's been a legit reliever for years now and a lot of managers on a lot of teams would give him a long leash.

See? That was EZ. Mister Smith goes to Omaha!

HEY HEY HEY

Winner!

What sort of analytics are being used to make Will Smith the closer?

Nice DP

Great job MacArthur!!

Do I assume we have a new closer?

I think Q just wadded them up and tossed them

Whew....

.500 ball in early April! When’s the last time we could say that?

MacArthur has a 9.82 ERA but I’d rather have it be him then Smith

To his credit he's been the closer for the bulk of the season for 2 of the last 3 World Series champs. I'm guessing that's pretty much why.

.500 baby!!! PBJ PBJ PBJ

What's wrong with Will Smith though?
