    • Royals Rumblings - News for April 3, 2024
    It is once again Wednesday. Obviously the big news is that Question 1 was defeated at the ballot box last night. Max wrote that up last night if you missed it. But last night’s win in rainy Baltimore was also pretty cool. From Byron Kerr at Royals.com: Marsh was in the zone all night, allowing only two doubles on 76 pitches, 54 for strikes. The right-hander struck out five and walked one. It was...2024

    Photo by @WillByington / www.willbyington.com This year, I believe the Cubs will be playing October playoff baseball. Remember this? That was Joe Maddon in November 2014, at the freewheeling presser held to introduce him as Cubs manager. The Cubs had just come off three of the worst seasons in recent franchise memory, as Theo Epstein rebuilt the ballclub. They had lost 101, 96 and 89...2024

If this year’s team can play to that percentage in the 73 remaining games, they’ll go 41-32. That would result in an 83-79 final record. I don’t claim to be prescient...2023

(If that sounds familiar, I wrote the same words in last year’s midseason grades article.) The Cubs stand seven games out of first place in the N.L. Central at the All-Star break.
