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

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

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.

Wade Davis has pitched 60 innings this year and allowed only 2 XBH? How the hell?

If he's the best you have....absolutely. He's the closer so I'll assume he is. Plus only 11 pitches

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.
