I am optimistic about this year's version of the Royals, as long as Ned learns how to handle a bullpen, especially in the middle innings. As far as the late innings go, I cringed last night when Phys said that Wade Davis would likely be the 8th innning guy. Wade needs to go.

mocat aka the LHC Bill Snyder of 8th inning relievers:
Ned didn't do anything wrong Monday you weirdos. Shields cruising, leave him in. 2 straight guys on base at 105 pitches, yank him. Wade Davis has proven (in TB) that he thrives in the 8th inning setup spot. Yanked appropriately. Holland gives up hit, what can you do?

Davis is far and away the best 8th inning option the Royals have right now, are you guys being for serious or no?

Easy there, mocat...Wade wasn't hell on wheels last season and he wasn't coming into this season. That said, he's a killer now and has been for weeks, and I've been singing his praises ever since he became the killer he is now. 
Wade needs to go.
Yeah, sorry Bones. Wade has been a killer all season, not just weeks. I'm not sure if he's taken the lead over the NYY reliever, but he's 1st or 2nd in Ks in relief this season. It's actually ridiculous how well he's pitched. Wade most definitely does not need to go. If anything, Collins needs to go.
