What's the thought process behind having Colson bat 5th and Beni 4th instead of vice versa? Is there some analytical reason to have Colson 5th instead of 4th?

Sandelin ....please throw strikes, get ahead in counts, and do not walk anybody. Hopefully, Venable has a short leash on him if he gives up the ghost in the first inning or two.

Royals offense is putrid. Just throw strikes. I'd rather see 2 HR given up then 2 walks frankly. Make them hit the ball.

I would guess at least one consideration is having the option to break up the 3-4-5 run of lefties with a Grichuk PH if KC tries to target that pocket with a LHRP later in the game

5 lefties in the lineup.

Less curve balls sandlin.

No walks! Good job kid.

Two shitty strikeouts on sliders not even close.

Sandlin is much more aggressive than he was the last time we saw him. Throwing a lot more strikes

Looks like Meidroth altered his pre-pitch setup.

Hopefully it takes next AB. Woofers.

Why is Meidroth five feet from home plate

Braden smoked that ball, they had him played perfectly

He needs to sit for a bit. These strikeouts are insane

corpse ball.

Yep. We'd probably be better with Junior Perez or Grichuk in LF and Sam at 2B for now.

All four of the strikeouts were on pitches not even close on 3-2
