I’ll never get used to the Sacramento Athletics, and frankly I’m stunned that the MLB owners even allowed the Athletics’ ownership to do what they did. But everyone has dollar signs for eyes, I guess, and the sooner the A’s situation gets resolved the sooner that owners can get those sweet, sweet expansion fees in their pockets.
But here we are. Tonight, the Royals start their annual West Coast Road Trip by playing a midweek series against the A’s. The A’s, actually, are pretty good. Former Royal Brent
Rooker is hitting cleanup, while Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz is hitting third. The A’s will be sending out Aaron Civale to the mound.
Meanwhile, the Royals will counter with Kris Bubic and a lineup that features the return of Maikel Garcia. Huzzah!
