If he stopped hitting

Those rally killing home runs in between botching doubles plays he would top this list.

I'd be interested to see how many

total XBH’s each of those players had

We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.

This is the most encouraging thing

I have looked at all week with respect to the royals.

Pecota, watch over us.

Here's a sad commentary

On the last road trip, when he got that triple, I was SCREAMING at him to pull up at 2B, just so he could get another double.

We are desperate for good signs, no matter how we get them.

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

They should change the rules

Just for Billy. So that you still get credit for a double if you get a triple. In the same way you get a single/double if thrown out at 2nd/3rd.
