Got to take BP today at the K thanks to a season ticket promotion. It was really fun. Hit a few really hard and one that went about 300ft in the air. Then I shagged balls in the OF. Tracking balls in the sun is waaaaay more difficult than what MLB players make it look like. I made a few business decisions to bail. But I snagged a couple. Got a pic of me making a (totally staged) leaping catch at the 410 mark in CF. Really fun experience.

They may have entered the innings limited, final chapter of Skenes' rookie campaign. Perhaps more than 5 turns in their rotation now, to spread out some innings for his and Jared Jones' sake? Jones was on the IL for a while, but was pitching damn well himself the first few months of the season.

Edit: What SithCeNtz said. Missed that.

I suppose, however I bet that the Nats and Turd Harvey told them he was 100% healthy, knowing his back was bothering him before the trade.

What are the Royals playoff chances? Like percentage wise?

Right now it's at 92.5% to get in. It's 6.5% to win the division.

Detroit and Minnesota are gonna be our biggest competition going forward. Colorado just went up by 1 in the top of the 9th against Detroit. They're not done either with a guy on 2nd and no one out.

4-2 Rockies going to the bottom of the 9th. Hang on, Rocks!

Tigers have 2 on with 2 out

TIGERS LOSE

Tigers now 5 games back of KC

And the Tigers lose!

Having the tiebreaker over them is huge. There's 15 games left. If KC just goes 7-8 the next two weeks they get to 87 wins and the Tigers must pass them. Detroit would have to go 13-2.

And of course if they actually get that hot it means they're beating up on the Orioles and we have a chance to catch them. Good opportunity this weekend because it's Baltimore/Detroit and Yankees/Red Sox. A chance to gain on either clinching a playoff spot or a better wild card spot every day.

Things look pretty damn good.

This is how I see it playing out.

I really want the Yankees again for the first round of the playoffs!
