That was an excellent read and he taps into a couple things you've said in the past about their D in that park and flyball pitchers in that park, did you get that from the Dan Szymborski article in July. Thanks for the link.
Yes o2, everyone knows how elite their pen is, this article digs deeper than that.
The Royals outscored there opposition 51-11 from the 7th inning on and had 8 come from behind victories, that's impressive.
Thanks for the link... I'll check it out.
Especially after the shitshow last winter by Ed Rogers, the writing was on the wall for both Beeston and AA, as the Hurl has mentioned in the past, AA wanted Beeston's job and was grooming Tinnish to be GM all along. Once that rug was pulled, the Loria/Beeston and AA circle jerk commenced. It all makes sense. Haha!!
I thought Hill was interim for the time being, meh, either way, where there's smoke there's fire. It all adds up. Not to mention AA wouldn't be tarnishing his reputation, it's his choice, especially if it's inline with a promotion. Good for him.
He stopped pulling dat ball, and uses the entire field. Walks more, K's way less, just an all round smarter hitter. He's worth every much as he was when he hit bombs, there's still alot of XBH's.
