***Official 4/16/25 Royals (Bubic) at Yankees (Schmidt) GameDay Thread***
 

Today at 4:05 Pacific, the Royals will be facing the Yankees in the Bronx, Bubic on the mound for the Boys and Clarke Schmidt on the hill for the opposition.

Lines are +124 for KC and -148 for NYY if you must bet into a 20 cent line.

Bubic got lit up in his last outing after dominating before that, while Schmidt makes his 2025 debut after a stint on the IL to start the season. He's real good though so the play just might be the under, but that line already reflects the pitching talent (total is 8).

Personally I'm putting a half unit on KC and my undefeated GameDay thread record both on the line in this one. Let us gogogogogogo!

In fo the L

What could go wrong with a young lefty facing a lineup of torpedo cheats in a little league stadium with a 100% HR/FB ratio?

Royals win 5-3 in this one or my crystal ball is broken!

Noted

You read Faulkner's novel Pylon yet, Ptlyon? You'd dig it.

Valium, Vicodin and vodka for the win!

Two Vs, close together, form a W.

OP eats crayons.

Wild lineup today.

India
Witt Jr.
Pasquantino
Perez
Garcia (DH)
Melendez
Waters
Tolbert
Isbel.

Four of those batters will be hitting from the left side, if I can use the adjective charitably, which is ideal against a RHP.

Less ideal is having your best defensive third baseman in as DH, a pinch running specialist at 2B, and a solid 2B out of position at 3B.

I am looking for a better run output today.

Royals 1

Yankees 3

LGR!! :grovel:

MJ has made adjustments, that somehow have made him worse.

1-0 Rs

Bubic escapes a bases loaded, 1 out jam.
