Samardzija and Volquez went too far. They should both get a suspension.

This. Those are the two guys that did anything suspension worthy. I actually would love it if the Commish's office came out and said "We're tacking a couple extra games on Edinson's suspension because his punch was embarrassingly bad."

I wouldn't love that because he's been our best starter so far. I think 6 games would be enough.

Everybody was about to turn around and walk back to the dugouts until Samardzija attacked.

5 is a pretty standard number for a starting pitcher because it means one start. So if they said 5 for throwing a punch, 2 more for throwing a horrible punch I'd enjoy that.

baseball talk: how great is our bullpen? It's substantially better than last years and thats amazeballs.

Wade Davis is a machine that throws baseballs that appear to be unhittable. Isn't that something?

Our bullpen makes us almost unbeatable. Other teams get 5 innings to score more runs than we can in 9.

The bullpen is amazing and Hoch isn't even back yet. It's just unheard of that arguably baseball's best closer can go on the DL and the bullpen doesn't miss a beat.

Moore deserves a ton of credit for deciding to put failed starting pitchers into the bullpen.

Fwiw, probably 85% of all relievers in the major leagues are failed starting pitchers. But GMDM absolutely deserves credit for putting together this beast of a 'pen

Anticipation of suspensions for Volquez and Ourdano I'd guess.

"the royals should send ventura down to omaha for 2 or 3 starts"
