Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

All jokes aside, this has to be studied… Nick Castellanos going deep every single time there is a tragedy or something newsworthy is legitimately unlike anything I’ve ever seen in sports history. There can’t be any type of logical explanation. No words.pic.twitter.com/XkcNJBoNOP

Witt's hot run extends beyond the All-Star break, as he's been out of his mind over his last 15 games, slashing .508/.516/.864 with five homers and 13 RBI over that span. Since June 30, the 24-year-old has seen his batting average go from .307 to .337, second best in MLB behind Steven Kwan.
...Kwan is hitting .348, but with 100+ ABs fewer than Bobby. Batting title is most definitely in play.

I mentioned this before, getting 3 or more hits in consecutive games. BWJ is up to three games now, and he’s on fire. He’s is rare air. Few people have done it for three games let alone 4. He’s hot, just like Brett got hot.
It’s like the 70’s again. The Orioles are good, Yankees, good Twins teams and dammit with this Cleveland team. 62 games left. [Reply]
