2 3B, 2 C, no 1B

Thomson really thinking out of the box

[Christopher]

Actual lineup contains no Realmuto and Bohm at 1B

One good day gets Turner promoted from 8th to 6th, though it's hard to argue putting him ahead of Stubbs & Sosa.

If Marsh is OK, I really hope we can get to the point were Harper is playing 1B at least 75% of the time and there's way less Sosa.

[FolesMVP09]

I prefer the 2 catcher defense - reduces the risk of wild pitches....

[Christopher]

Your a wild pitch

[FolesMVP09]

ugh - at least it's not season ending

Thomson says Marsh is on the IL. Could be back in 2-3 weeks.

Marsh had an MRI and x-rays, there is no structural damage.

[FolesMVP09]

The Weston Wilson era has begun

[bigel57]

Walker throwing BP. Crushing everything. Velocity at 88. WTF?

[wrench248]

Royals are all over Walker to start the game.

His velocity is low and his splitter and cutter look flat.

[FolesMVP09]

Game is going to be over in the first - smh
