More players like Bryant and Carpenter taking advantage of the shift is the way to end the shift. No need for any new rules. Gordon needs to bunt hard down third every at bat till they play him honest.

I liked the way he was driving the last three games before his injury. He was getting to the rim and scoring with ease.

Agree with both of you, team looks pretty solid to me other than pitching in general. The starters have had some good days but yeah the bullpen is a house of cards for sure! Be nice to have a closer again wouldn’t it?

A couple of times in the last few days the Royals have went into the 9th up 8 or more. Both times I’ve been quite worried about them holding that lead. I feel bad for the doubt but I can not seem to break out of it. What do you all think? Is it a valid concern or do I need to up my baseball season valium dose?

His position is very understandable, he has few choices as thing stands. Sitting the bench another year will gain him nothing basketball wise and probably hurt his pro options. Leaving now would give him at least some oversea’s exposure and likely some time in G-league or whatever it’s called now. Who knows, he is pure potential maybe someone in the NBA will take a flyer on him. From what little we saw he has a chance to be really good in time and that time is probably sooner rather than later. Stating that if he is given the chance to play next year he will be back and he would much prefer that to be the way things falls agrees with what I wish for the young man.

I would probably be a nicer person to be around next season!

I have to agree with De Sousa being the one with a potential case and there would not be much of a downside to him filing one if his suspension stands. No one else might like it but he has already been hammered not much left to lose.

I still have eligibility.

I am thinking the same thing!

@dylans I figured they got a tracker on me. It’s no big deal really I just watched replay when I got back in the states

His comment said he was keeping full ncaa eligibility so I would not say he was gone quite this quick. I would say he was doing the smart thing personally.
