I really appreciate the Royals trying their best to make sure McHugh can go 9 innings.

The bullpen is probably Keuchel for an inning or two, so...well you still need to get that out of the way but you know.

McHugh was almost through 3 on 26 pitches if he had snagged that

e: 29 through 3 works about as well

Pulling for Houston but I can't believe Cueto has been this awful for KC and feel kinda bad for their fans after the magnificent job Price and Hamels have done since the trade.

I get what they're trying to do and if he has the curve working I can even see the logic, but goddamn he could pitch two games tonight if this keeps up.

Cueto's bad post-trade numbers will lower his value enough that the Cubs can get Price and still afford Cueto as a solid #4 :getin:

As far as tonight goes he's only thrown one bad pitch. It just happened to be a loving awful pitch after an error.

And as I type this Ned says it was a good pitch. I disagree but whatever.

The Blue Jays literally don't know if they need to be heading to the airport to fly to KC or go home while the Astros come to Toronto. It's kind of weird.
