I’m in the middle of a much bigger post than some piffling Game Threat at the moment (which, naturally, I intended to be done with hours ago). Which is to say: this is about all you’re going to get right here.

Enjoy this battle of shitballers, though! Let’s keep letting the good times roll!

Meh. I wrote about the Bautista thing, which seems most pertinent.

Oh yeah, also Marco Estrada might have his Thursday start pushed back (it will go to Drew Hutchison if he isn’t needed out of the bullpen over the next couple games), and KC’s star closer, Wade Davis, is out of the rest of this series, as he’s been placed on the DL.
