    I'll try to make about 1 post an inning.

    Gordon is an easy GG and robs Bourn.

    Sorry about posting the schedules of the 3 team race....certainly not important. Lol

    Gordon will probably win, but imo, his biggest threat is playing opposite him tonight.

    Brantley doesn't get the saber defensive marks this year for whatever reason. Gordon gets amazing jumps and reels in highlights so often. I like Brantley's defense WAY more than the numbers say.

    Duffy keeps losing his composure and trying to pick off a guy with ZERO SB attempts really worked out well for him.

    The slide by Gomes was outstanding ha ha.

    It really is amazing how low they are. Brantley seems to play it safe, but he gets good jumps and takes the correct angle all the time. Plus, the OF assists show how great his arm is.

    He's just consistently very good in all aspects of the game. Might be most underrated guy in MLB

    I second that!

    And like you said, consistently very good in all aspects of the game.

    Dont disagree.

    Ironically, I had been saying the same about Alex Gordon for a few years now lol

    TJ dealing through 5. Royals disappointing huge crowds this weekend. Against KC, need to win the first 6 innings because of their bullpen. I can smell 2.5 back heading to the Tiger series. Maybe I'll start the Tiger series thread right now since everyone liked it so much when I did that for this series.

    Gordon isn't anymore because he's getting great credit with his defense but his OPS just cracking .800 doesn't touch Brantley and IMO Brantley's base running all but makes up the gap in defense.

    I think Brantley is a bit better but believe MLB fans across the nation would have Gordon listed before Brantley.

    I'd add Ozuna from Marlins, Rendon from Nats and Seager from Mariners

    7th inning stretch and another nail biter .
  • Footwedge
    As BRF would say...Brick House. Tribe staff gives up 3 earned runs in 27 innings, 2 of which came off of Josh Tomlin. And that against our number 3. 4, and 5 starters.
  • Footwedge
    Wow. Way to pick up the defense Mr. Shaw.
  • Ironman92
    Royals just can't get it done.

    I would've suicide squeezed on 2nd pitch to Aoki
  • Laley23
    Great job by Shaw. Need Allen to be Allen tonight.
  • Ironman92
    Wade Davis has pitched 60 innings this year and allowed only 2 XBH? How the hell?
  • GOONx19
    Damn it.
  • Laley23
    Or not...
  • Ironman92
    Well that was MVPesque
  • Crimson streak
    Fucking Gordon
  • Laley23
    Absolute killer.
  • Laley23
    Does Allen go back out in the 10th?

    If he's the best you have....absolutely. He's the closer so I'll assume he is. Plus only 11 pitches
  • TBone14
    Didn't see that coming. It happens and Allen has been so good. Shame it had to be tonight with a game vs the Tigers tomorrow at 4. Gotta find a way to get this one.

    Come on Big Lon. ..One time here kid.
