Gordon is going to have the same offensive year that Rios did last year

And still be worth like 3 WAR

yeah. we may get a lot of the Brazilian, and it may be painful (getting a Brazilian usually is)

You mean that guy with the 1.000 OPS who just hits triples?

This is an interesting inning. What else can the Twins screw up?

Sure, career progression and the new guys playing well is a factor, but this is essentially the exact same team from last season and the playoffs. That's not to say they weren't good. They went 53-31(my numbers may be off) after the All-Star break including the playoffs last season. It's like once they realized how good they could be the light went on, but they haven't gotten complacent.

Now they just come out with big swinging dicks every day and impose their will on opponents.

It's really a treat to watch. Of course they'll hit a rough patch with an injury, and maybe the offense will cool suffer some extreme cooling eventually, but there isn't any reason to believe that they can't keep winning at a very high level the rest of the way.

Bulls-eye laser-scope vision and tons of wrist curls in the offseason.

Hud is going nutso in the postgame.

Realistically, how awesome would it be to win every series this year? What is the best series winning percentage any team has ever had?

Gonna win 'em all!

The 2015 Royals already have a better run differential (+34) than the 2014 Royals (+27).
