Robbie Ray rakes Royals with relish... GT

I was worried France may settle somewhere below his performance last season. Nice to see his bat stay hot even if the glove hasn't been as stellar this year.

JP taking another step forward is great to see. If Murphy could go back to the monster he was a couple years ago it would be yuge.

Curious why you thought that about France. Only time he struggled last year was when he tried to play through a wrist injury.

Because all hitters go to die in Seattle. What he did last year could've been a fluke. No, Ty France is the truth! He makes this team so much better. If anybody was to give hitting advice in that dugout, it should be the guy that was taught from Tony Gwynn college of badassdom!!

Sweeping Kansas City in April would be hotter than two rats boinking in a wool sock!

Today ends the first 10% of the season. To me what has been a pleasant surprise has been JP raking. I thought he had peaked after last year to be a .260ish hitter and would have figured he'd do about the same. Also, Murphy has been a man possessed this week. He is just absolutely ripping the ball.

What has been a disappointment to start the year is no one in the OF is hitting over .200. I think they have rushed both JK and Julio and both should be sent back down to rediscover making contact with the baseball.

What are your early surprises and disappointments?

Biggest disappointment by far has been Winker. I obviously expected Julio to hit better but he seems to be coming around so not too worried. He is hitting .265 with a .342 OBP the past 9 games. JK is what he is so no disappointment there. There is literally nobody better than those two so pointless to send either down.

Biggest positive surprises are JP, France and Murphs Bats. Pitching has been exactly what I expected.

I thought France would hit with more power so not surprised he is on pace for 40+ but didn't see a .356 BA out there. lol

Royals pitcher has giving up 14 hits and has only 1 K in 9 innings so far this season???

That is why you dive instead of slide. What about that throw by Julio...

[D-train]

Damn great play of Julio and JP fails to tag him. Nice move by Sal.

JP should've stepped on his hand. The one stung by a pitch.

No harm no foul on the missed tag, thank goodness.....
