The Royals get a captain, the full powder blues are sweet, Greinke has a solid first start of the season and we close with some filth from the bullpen.
Meant to mention after your previous column: I really like the idea of having an article to read immediately after a game has ended. I'm sure it can't be easy to crank out content that quickly but I hope you'll make a serious effort to do so!
I fully agree with you about the powder blues. (Also about the powder blue tops over white pants. Ugh.)
Remember when Kurt Bevacqua and Doug Bird, with their huge mustaches, were known as the Bolivian Bandidos? Maybe politically incorrect today, but fun stuff back then!
Couldn't disagree with you more about the city connect uniforms but if we agreed on everything one of us would be redundant.
Here's hoping the Royals offense finds some hits tomorrow....
Your uniform takes are good (I agree). The Twins cap is awful, but I like the pinstripes. Maybe it's just Buxton with the high socks, but the Navy and Red and Gray are a classic color combo.
I watched the whole game, pretty intently. Was hardly on my phone at all. That's unusual for me and a welcome change. Wish Bally's wouldn't show the pitch clock in the score bug. I don't want to think about it at all unless the umpire calls a violation.
I really didn't mind Isbel diving for that ball. He just barely missed it, and Melendez was just a little late backing him up. Worth the risk in that spot, in my opinion. Thanks Craig for the quick piece after the game yesterday.
1. I obviously love the powder blues. That probably doesn't even need to be said.
2. The Twins hats suck. Bring back the interlocked TC.
3. My two boldest takes for the season might have been that Greinke has a very good year and Reyes bounces back strong after a rough 22. Greinke made me feel very smart for about 6 innings, but the Reyes prediction did not get off to a blazing start. Only one game, and I'm not overreacting, but baseball is special in the way that it can make you feel like a genius and completely humble you in the space of a single game.

We need too start a dialogue on Jose Cuas
HE WAS FILTHY
Kyle Isbel is the font runner for the Les Milgram Player of The Year

If you're the leader of the Royals, shouldn't you be the King and not the Captain?

Good work. Very interesting report.
