Welcome to game 36 on this young season. Can you imagine? Thirty-six games? I feel like it just started yesterday. In any case, the big news for today’s game is Noah Cameron’s start being skipped. The press crew talked to Cameron and Matt Quatraro before the game, and it doesn’t seem that big of a […]
On Jac’s blazing bat bobblehead night, the Royals were jolted with a little bit of power. They hit two home runs and just barely missed a third in a game that was a joy to watch. It didn’t start like that though. Both offenses looked off in the first few innings. The game moved at […]
