Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP

Best case scenario: Marlins win tonight. Singer has the game of his life, we score some runs, and we clinch tomorrow night. Party all night. Shelve Lugo and Ragans, and we get them both fresh for the playoffs next week.
Sound good everyone? Okay, all in on three... ROYALS! [Reply]

Nah, the best case is twins lose tonight, the Friday Atlanta game gets rain delayed, twins lose tomorrow night, then we throw scrubs this weekend and rest all our starters

I’d like to see the boys clinch with a win. I think they need that moment. [Reply]
Good news, bad news. NY up 5-0 on Baltimore now, but Miami up 3-0 with 2 runners on and one out.
Need Minny to lose tonight because they may be playing Orioles B team all weekend.
Edit: scratch that. If O’s lose to Yanks they’re still only up 3 on Detroit for Top Wildcard spot and Detroit has tie breaker over Balty. So they’ll be plenty motivated to get that win tomorrow night either way to lock up the Wild Card series at home instead of on the road.
So Yankees game outcome less important now. [Reply]
Trying to switch to mlb network to see if I can catch an update on the twins game from the NFL game between commercials on prime is not convenient :-) [Reply]
Marlins stranded the bases loaded in the top of the 5th by the way and then got a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom half. One out in the top of the 6th, still 4-0 Marlins.
I'm watching the Marlins broadcast and they have commented on how tight they thing the Twins look. People in the crowd are getting restless. [Reply]
