Thanks SI.

Royals are getting beat down right now by the Brewers in a split squad game. This game doesn't really have any of our good hitters, though. Mendoza gave up 4 ER in 5.2 IP.

Our better hitters and Shields are playing tonight.

Yeah a game we can't really take anything from.

No.

Was Escobar in the other game?

Yes

Our PTBNL for the Hottovy trade has been revealed. We got Desmond Henry from the Rangers. Was a 4th round pick in 2011, high school outfielder, he'll be 19 years old.

Apparently his tools are speed (6.47 in the 60-yard dash, so his speed is a 7 or 8 on the 2 to 8 scale) and defense, but he needs to learn how to hit. He probably wont, but hey, we got a scratch-off lottery ticket for an excess 31-year old reliever who toiled for 7+ years in the minors.

And Dayton Moore's obsession with the LFBG (lightning-fast black guy) continues...

(OK, had to make a joke about it)

That aside, it's a nice lotto ticket. Similar to what KC gave up this time a year ago to the Astros.

You need speed for the K. I love speed butyou need to get on base to use it.

Don't know if anyone is watching the game, but Guthrie just did a spot on Rex Hudler impression. LMAO

Guthrie doing Hud impressions!!! Hilarious! On a side note, does anyone know what Guthrie's ethnicity is? He looks slightly Asian or some mixture of something.

Yeah.
