Saw we have our largest division lead since 2003. We should be encouraged that Omar and Rios both look so much better at the plate.

I think we're all going to look back in 5 or 6 years and realize we didn't appreciate the d of Gordon, Cain, and Escobar enough. They are amazing.

Posse stat of the night....

When Young starts, the league is hitting .199 vs him. He is hitting .667 vs the league

Guys, 6 of the 8 Chris Young starts, he has been good.....like really really really good. 36.0 Inn 1 ER 19 Hits. And we got the W in all 6 too.

The Roys have made this a baseball thing.

Moose has been so damn good guys.

70 hits, 27 strikeouts. Andy suggested today on his KC Star chat that he is the best option for a leadoff hitter.

Moose has flourished in the 2 spot. That's where he should stay. Andy may have a point but there's no need to make such a move now.

yeah he wasn't suggesting they change, someone just asked who would be the best leadoff hitter

Understood. I'd love to hear Ned's take on Andy's analysis. Those exchanges are always good.

That's great, and that second part is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

I wish this wasn't true, but the last McClatchey writer to write anything intelligent about the Royals was Joe Posnaski.

can rusty kuntz teach moose to steal second base with enough practice....i think the answer is yes.

Esky still being the leadoff hitter is what is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). I was much more frustrated at the beginning of the year when Ned announced that Esky was hitting leadoff than I was when he announced that Moose was hitting second. Alex is by far the best leadoff candidate on this team. He has better power, average, and discipline at that spot than any other spot in the lineup (not to mention it's where he has the most experience). Yet, Ned refuses to look at that one spot in the order objectively and it's infuriating. Ned has grown on me, but batting Esky at leadoff over Gordo should actually be a fireable offense if we were to miss the playoffs this year.
