Our starting rotation in April was:

Volquez
Young
Ventura
Kennedy
Medlen

We started the season with Duffy in the pen. Not as a closer, not as our setup guy, not as our 7th inning guy, but as some sort of long relief specialist or something. What on earth.

I'm surprised you didn't link your favorite writer's take on Duffy: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/judging-the-royals/article93249327.html

i'm willing to follow the game, but i'm going to hold you personally responsible for yordano's performance.

did duff dog's performance last night punch his ticket to the all-star game?

Just had a thought.  Moose to DH next year.  Zero opportunities to run into Gordon, Fence, Dugout etc.  100% chance of raking.

He needs to throw another 5 shutouts probably.  The CY Young is tough.

Probably not a very popular opinion but I wouldn't be mad if Dayton declined the club option on Alcides.

He did that thing where he issues a lot of walks but Mondesi helped him out.
