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?

Sorry babe
Valente Bellozo was masterful, keeping the Twins off-guard with his 90-mph fastball. Correa was the only one that had his number. He threw him a cement mixer. [Reply]
Omaha has taken a 7-3 lead in the final game of the International League championship series. They're 3 innings away from the International League title if they can hold on. [Reply]

They used him kind of early last night too. [Reply]
Former Royal Anthony Veneziano pitching for Miami. If the Royals win it all, Veneziano would likely get a ring for pitching during the Royals' season. [Reply]
Marlins in the process of melting down. I would expect them to “finish the job”. Twins will get a nothing to play for Orioles for the weekend. Royals will probably need to take 2 of 3 from a desperate Braves team. Not ideal but the Royals have no one to blame but themselves. Hoping the Marlins can find a way to not fall apart but they are just so shitty. Getting one win from them this series was a miracle in itself. [Reply]
