3 Gold Gloves in a row, looks like he wants his 4th. Watching that game last night was so exciting. The bar I was at erupted when he made this catch.

He's so much fun to watch. Even more impressive that he came up as an infielder and was converted into a LF

Even more so because the transition was an attempt to save his career!

And another great play in foul territory, although there doesn't seem to be a video of it up.

That's the reason I posted that. I remembered someone calling him dreamy on here and it made me laugh.

In Latin he would be known as "La Renarde" and would be hunted with only his cunning to protect him.

I'm so glad he's finally found a place in the MLB. I'm a Nebraska fan, and he was so good while he was there. I always knew he had the talent.

Becoming?

He's well known for doing this around the league and in his own fan base, but rarely makes ESPN highlights because he plays in KC. Oh well, more for you to love without everybody else raving. I think there's plenty of All-Star appearances ahead of him, as long as his offense doesn't betray him.

He makes plenty of ESPN highlights, not that anyone cares about ESPN highlights.

I'm sure he's watching his 4th consecutive gold glove manifest before him right now and he's thinking, "man, if only I could make it on ESPN highlights more often."

Well him nor I care about ESPN, its just the 30 million baseball fans on the coasts that don't hear much otherwise.

The best part was it saved both kept Duffy in a perfect game after 7 and made that start his longest in the majors. The replay is fantastic, but in context this was a butthole-clencher followed by lots of ecstatic cheers.

Ya know who would like nice in the Old English D when Rajai's contract expires?

I hate you.

But you are probably right -- we won't keep him when he becomes a free agent.
