Brent Rooker and Charlie Barnes lead the Saints. Spencer Steer continues to supply the beef. Kody Funderburk pitched well, but not well enough. Louie Varland continues to dominate.
Game 82 – Minnesota Generals v. Kansas City Globetrotters
Maybe Kenta Maeda will give us a reason to watch?
I am kind of annoyed that the Royals used 5 relief pitchers yesterday and not a single one of them blew the lead. It's some weird new definition of "relief pitching" that seems particularly unfair when deployed against the Twins.
Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope your weather is nice and your neighbors fireworks last only until bedtime and no longer.
