Friday Night Thread: Good Baseball Team at Terrible Baseball Team

The Royals play the Red Sox tonight. 50% of the crowd will be in Boston clothes.

Chris Sale, who is great, v. Jason Hammel, who sucks. It’s kind of like if I ever fought Dwayne Johnson in a cage.

Alcides Escobar, who has totally earned the right to play 348958945689 games in a row, is again starting at shortstop over the organization’s top prospect. There aren’t even words to explain how stupid this is. Play the damn shortstop prospect at shortstop! But hey, any time you can get Outcedies and his .193 average in the lineup for the 422nd straight game, you have to do it!
