These Rays look like the 2014 and 2015 Royals and I love it

When you turned off a Kansas City Royals playoff game in 2014 or 2015, you knew what would happen if someone hit a ball into the outfield gap with enough air under it: no matter how unlikely, somebody would probably catch that ball. It was inevitable. Lorenzo Cain, Jarrod Dyson, and Alex Gordon were a veritable black hole where baseballs went to die. And Mike Moustakas’ “I can’t catch it for you but I can catch you” dive is at least as great as anything the outfield did.

(the Spanish version of the Gordon catch is the only high quality one on YouTube, but then again Spanish announcers are great so there’s no downside there)

Kansas City’s defense in those playoffs was reflective of their defense in the regular season.
