Zack Greinke talked last winter about a pitcher reaching that perfect blend, where physical ability exactly matches mental ability.
So with a 5-0 record after five starts and a microscopic ERA, is he there?
"I'm trying to get to that," he said. "But not yet."
The Kansas City right-hander is close, though. He gave up an earned run for the first time in 43 innings, but Billy Butler backed him up with two homers Wednesday night and the Kansas City Royals pounded 11 extra-base hits in an 11-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.
I don't know if the Royals will win an pennant this year, but I can tell you one thing. This team is fun to watch, win or lose. And this year, they might just win more often than lose. And if they can stay in the race all summer, it could be an interesting year at the new K.
I just love baseball season.
