July 18, 2025Jul 18 Game one of three to open up the 2nd half.Sandy Alcantara vs Seth Lugo. On paper it looks like a mismatch. Lugo has been their 2nd best starter after Bubic. Their pitching staff has been a strength this year. Outside of Witt Jr, Garcia, and Pasquantino, their lineup is unimposing. Big reason why they were the lowest scoring team in the AL in the 1st half. Won't be as easy as just putting Witt Jr, and Garcia on though as they do have good wheels.
July 18, 2025Jul 18 Author This Royals team kind of reminds me of the Marlins from a few years ago. They have some dawgs in the pitching staff, and have 2 or 3 decent hitters that have been good, but not elite this year, but the rest of their lineup is full of black holes so they rank at the bottom in most team offensive categories.
July 18, 2025Jul 18 Hopefully Sandy figured out something cause I was thinking that they'd push him to the back of the rotation out of the break to give him more time to figure things out.

July 18, 2025Jul 18 With Norby out for a while, hopefully Graham Pauley can get some extended playing time and show he can be a part of the future.
July 18, 2025Jul 18 Author This is already Seth Lugo's worst start of the season in terms of runs allowed.

July 19, 2025Jul 19 Unfortunately the Giants aren't on the schedule for the rest of the year otherwise the universe might implode if there was an Alcantara-Verlander matchup. The movable force versus the resistible object.
July 19, 2025Jul 19 How the hell are hot dogs only $3 regularly at Marlins park? That might be the most egregious thing Bruce Sherman has done.
July 19, 2025Jul 19 Holy crap. Kyle Stowers with the Chavez-Meldrick Taylor finish. We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and then snatched it right back.Somebody get Stowers a $1 hot dog!..
