The Royals are closing in on their first American League Central title in franchise history. They hold a comfortable lead in the quest for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But there is still plenty to discuss. Let’s answer some questions.
@McCulloughStar 1) what's wrong w/ Cueto? 2) why is Gordon no playing everyday? 3) where's Kyle Zimmer 4) why is Escy hitting leadoff?

1. One thing we forget, as we ponder the baseball season, is that each baseball game is a tree in sizable forest. The forest contains 162 trees, if you want to be technical about it, but there is also some shrubbery left behind from spring training, plus the luckiest teams get to plant Sequoiodeaes during the playoffs.
