Nah. He is a career minor leaguer only playing in the majors because of Sale's injury.

Carrol is from Liberty and played for Missouri State. Wish him luck any other time but tonight.

Any HRs he gives up tonight may be the first HRs he's even seen hit by the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Don't worry. We will turn him into a Cy Young candidate.

The Good news the Royals are playing consistently .500 baseball through May.. which is encouraging when remembering last year.

The Bad news... Detroit has won 6 straight (all on the road). And has won 15 of their last 18 games. They have the best record in all of baseball and are statistically the second best (behind a mercurial hot Oakland).

If Detroit stays form, the only hope is that we snag that last Wild Card spot.

The 2011 Red Sox lost 20 of 27 games in September which included losing the last game of the regular season that eliminated them from post season play. And, in that last game of the season, they were one out away from a 3-2 victory that would have put them in the playoffs. The Tigers need to have a losing streak.

Not to rain on your parade but it's not happening. I'd wager anything on that.

Obviously, you're a pessimist. :-) Plus, I have bar tabs riding on a bet that the Royals will have a better record than the Tigers at the end of the regular season.
