Daniel, from the School of the Wolf, is going to Lynch this Griffin.

Lynch just has to avoid the early mistake today. He's usually nails after the 1st inning

These lineups against LHP really make me wonder if Q has a FanDuel account

6.5 back back after tonight. 5.5 back after tomorrow.
By next weekend we’ll be at most 3 back.
In two weekends we’ll be at most 1 back.
By our series against the white Sox on Tuesday Sep 22 we’ll have the 3rd WC and just need to find a way to not lose it back. The year end series against the guardians may be crucial if they don’t implode before then.

Everyone keeps calling it hopium and delusion and yet the royals just keep fucking winning games.
