I love it. They'll never admit it, but these guys peek at this stuff- especially the younger guys.
I'd just as soon let them see that even though they are the top seed in the AL and had the 2nd best record in baseball for about 80% of the season, and yet NO ONE thinks they stand a chance. They predicted a 74 win team. WRONG. They predicted they'd finish 3rd or 4th in the division. WRONG. They predicted KC couldn't make up for the loss of Shields and Butler (ha!). WRONG. They predicted anyone else would be the best in the AL and the Royals would be lucky to sneak in to win one of the wildcard spots. WRONG. So, let them keep underestimating them and I hope it only motivates them to lock in with laser focus and just a bit of a chip on their shoulder to keep them playing aggressive and mentally sharp. You caught a glimpse of the reawakening this last week after some of the players admitted as much that this last month had become a grind and they were bored just waiting for some meaningful games to finally get under way.

I didn't realize he hit 200 innings. Once again, Dayton is ahead of the curve.

My point was he's a lot more than just a 1st base coach. He works with all the runners on their baserunning, and watches all the tape on pitchers to figure out their tells on a move to first base. He also works with all the outfielders on their OF defense and makes the defensive positioning calls. Is he the best? I don't know, but under his watch this team has been great defensively, the OFers have all gotten better, and we're been at or near the top of SBs with a very high success percentage. He was also the guy who taught Gordon how to play LF, and that worked out pretty well. |

Two Royals fans sitting in row 3 right behind the Houston dugout. Well done!

That was a big first inning for Tanaka.
Just my opinion, but the Astros would be a much more formidable foe than NYY. Then again, Angels fans were begging for us in the first round last year. |

I think that was more about them not wanting to play a familiar opponent.

Looking like a Royals vs Houston ALDS.

Can I assume the Jays will be the early game Thursday since they're eastern time zone?
