Friday Thread: Indians at Royals

Tonight, the Royals play the Indians at Kauffman Stadium. Jason Vargas opposes Royal-killer Josh Tomlin.

Alcides Escobar, who is the worst statistical hitter in baseball, will leadoff, meaning that he will get more at-bats than any other Royal, potentially. Whit Merrifield looks to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. Alex Gordon looks for homer #1.

These are the storylines. Let's watch and see what happens.
