“Yeah, a lot of the hitters are very happy, and the team’s pitchers aren’t,” Witt said. “But they’re gonna do well, no matter what. But yeah, the hitters are great. Salvy was just like, ‘What took it so long?’ But yeah, everyone is fired up. And so it’s gonna be fun.”

Gordon said he changed his approach at the plate because it was difficult to hit home runs. While playing, Gordon hoped the Royals would move in the fences. Alas, it never happened.
