00:02 - We talked a little bit about the Royals yesterday.

00:06 They might not ever lose again.

00:07 In fact, they beat up on Scoble today,

00:10 who had been pitching excellent for Detroit.

00:14 What a role the Royals are on right now.

00:16 - Sweep the homestand six in a row, 32 and 19.

00:22 They, I mean, look, the hitting has been very timely.

00:26 Bobby Wood Jr., I mean, Bobby Wood Jr.

00:28 is a legitimate American League MVP candidate.

00:30 We've got Michael Garcia, Michael Massey, and Vinny P

00:34 now are all above league average in OPS Plus.

00:37 That's kind of my gauge on, you know,

00:39 how many guys do you have in the lineup

00:40 who are really hitting?

00:41 I think they made the difficult but correct decision

00:45 to move Adam Frazier to the bench

00:47 after spending money on him in free agency.

00:49 That's been a pretty big move using Massey every day

00:52 instead of Adam Frazier.

00:53 I wish they were getting a little bit more

00:55 out of corner outfield with Renfro and Velasquez,

00:57 but that, I mean, what's easier to get

00:59 at the trade deadline than a right-handed

01:01 corner outfielder slash DH guy?

01:03 Like that's, I mean, you could find one of those

01:06 on your way to the ballpark.

01:07 It's pretty incredible.

01:09 32 and 19 Kansas City Royals.

01:11 I mean, really, even in the 2014, 2015 seasons

01:15 when they were really good, I never remember them

01:18 just being like, oh yeah, we'll just win six games

01:20 in a row, no sweat.
