Friday Night Thread: Royals at M’s

Tonight is the night Alcides Escobar’s streak should end.

Should.

I’m on vacation, so I’m writing this thread at 9:00 am. So I don’t know what the lineup will look like. But Alcides Escobar should NOT be in the lineup.

Jorge Bonifacio is back, so he should start in the outfield with Alex Gordon and Rosell Herrera. That means Whit Merrifield has to play second. That means Adalberto Mondesi has to play short. So... no room for Escobar. It SHOULD be that simple.

Let’s see if Ned makes it that simple.
