Thanks Craig. Seemed like there was a mix of opinions when the Royals signed Greinke in the off-season, and certainly he has not been a difference maker on this club going nowhere. But it has been a joy to see him work at times, and I still feel pride when I watch him, like "that's OUR Zack". So glad it happened this way, especially since the way he left was a little bittersweet. I hated, but understood he wanted out, but a couple years later saw the deal as the groundwork for a title (Cain, Esky). Thanks for everything Zack. In many more ways than one, you ARE one of a kind.
He’s a back of the rotation starter at this point in his career. But he is a REALLY GOOD back of the rotation starter. Because he pitches thoughtfully. This stage of his career has been fun because of that. He’s always been a thinker on the mound, but now that’s his primary weapon.

The pickoff was a great play but it was possible because Vinnie stepped on the runners hand and he couldn’t reach for the base. Whatever works though.
