Good afternoon and welcome back to your regularly scheduled baseball. The Royals got off to a bit of a rough start Thursday, dropping the season opener, but it was only one game. Of course, after today, there will have been two games. Double the sample size means double the importance, right? Sure hope they’re not still winless after today!
Kansas City will send free-agent acquisition Seth Lugo to the mound, today. Lugo didn’t have a great spring, but he was terrific last season in his first as a starting pitcher for a while. Hopefully, since he is a veteran, he was spending the spring shaking off rust and working on specific goals instead of being focused on the game results.
