here's to hoping that dayton moore sends alex gordon packing like they did infante

If dayton is half as smart as people claim, he will do just that.

Wang got the win in game #69, completing the third 23-game pod:

Pod 1: 12-11 W
Pod 2: 12-11 W
Pod 3: 14-9 W

roys have won all three 23-game pods

I would bet that no team has ever won all of its 23 game pods and not won the World Series.

That was pretty fun yesterday. I listened on satelite radio from about the 6th on. Made me remember all of the games I listened to with my dad on the radio while growing up on the farm. It was a good Fathers Day.

sys, i'm sure you'll be delighted to learn that the royals are finally on the good side of this trendline

sys · « **Reply #63308 on:** June 20, 2016, 02:56:35 PM »

i bet last year's offense would show up as more fun to watch.

very much so. only 6 teams scored more runs than the royals, and yet only 6 teams hit fewer HRs than the royals.

these graphs are not the only graphs where the giants, pirates, and royals are usually clustered together. similar teams.

sys · « **Reply #63311 on:** June 20, 2016, 03:29:32 PM »

and now we cluster with the white sox. how the mighty have fallen.

pissclams · « **Reply #63312 on:** June 21, 2016, 09:56:06 AM »

i hope we really give it to the mets tonight

So how would you massage this roster when Alex Gordon returns from injury?

star seed 7 · « **Reply #63314 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:34:15 AM »

Sell Alex gordon

star seed 7 · « **Reply #63315 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:35:03 AM »

Sell him for whoever the best pitcher we can get

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #63316 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:35:43 AM »

ok I should of specified, I'm looking for non-stupid answers

star seed 7 · « **Reply #63317 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:37:14 AM »

A stupid answer would be letting that cancer back on the team

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #63318 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:38:40 AM »

you see what you're doing lib? you're making me miss WC08 ITT. That's on you

Trading Gordon would be smart, assuming we could improve our starting rotation.

Trading Gordon would be stupid. We would have to pay most of his contract and not get much in return.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #63321 on:** June 21, 2016, 11:42:13 AM »

That's why I said sell

We could get pretty good prospects for him. We need prospects to trade for starting pitching at the trade deadline.

what team are you imagining trading Alex Gordon to? Considering his age, contract size, and how he played so far in 2016. What team, specifically, are you thinking will trade top prospects that we could turn into starting pitching in July?
