As you tell PB, watch the send. The ball was almost on the infield when he was sending him. Hopefully he takes his job moar seriously than you do....

Maybe not Toronto, but our offense is reaching juggernaut status on paper (and in real life, if you watch the games!)

Gordon (.850 OPS)
Zobrist (.850 OPS)
Cain (.875 OPS)
Hosmer (.840 OPS)
Morales (.835 OPS)
Moose (.800 OPS)
Dyson/Gomes platoon (could be around .800 OPS)
Sal (.700 OPS)
Esky (not worth mentioning OPS)

2014 Royals regular season guys with an .OPS over .800? 0. 0.

I repeat. 0.

Maybe he was just trying to prove that Gordon would have been thrown out by a mile in game 7.

Yea. I want this team, right now, for the post season. So hot right now!

My body is ready.

Hootie · 09-03-2015, 10:12 PM

2014 .OPS :

Gordon .783
Cain .751
Hos .716
Aoki .710
Butler .702
Esky .694
Perez .692
Infante .632

Wanna know why we're going to win 10+ more games than we did in 2014? There's your reason.

**Dartgod** · 09-03-2015, 10:12 PM

15 ****ing runs and some of you are still yapping about sending Hos.

Yeah, it was a bad send. I'll bet every team in MLB has a 3rd base coach who has made a bad decision...multiple times a year.

162 games, it's going to happen.

Al Bundy · 09-03-2015, 10:13 PM

That was a LONG game...

Apparently that's a thing. The guy with the high baseball IQ can explain it.

Hootie · 09-03-2015, 10:16 PM

Tulo
Donaldson
Bautista
Encarnacion

or

Gordon
Zobrist
Cain
Hosmer

Clearly, if you dig the long ball, you're taking Toronto ... Tulo, now away from Coors, has a .723 OPS with Toronto. Donaldson is the MVP. No doubt.

Objectively, just on offense, you'd probably lean towards the Toronto 4. But it's not as cut and dry as you'd think.

I think from top to bottom, with Gordon back in the lineup, our offense can be every bit as dangerous as Toronto. Difference being they play the majority of their games in a hitter's park in a division loaded with hitter's parks (Fenway, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards).

Put the Toronto 4 on KC and the KC 4 on Toronto and I bet the .OPS would all even out.

3 hours, 58 minutes.

352 pitches.

I'd say it is more yapping about "High IQ" Hootie defending it.
