Red Sox (Gray) vs Royals (Lugo): 5/18/26, 7:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Like the Red Sox, the Royals continue to struggle to score runs and play competitive baseball. There isn't a better target right now for the Sox to get back on track than the Royals.

[mvp 78]

Lugo last 4 starts:

7.59 ERA, 21.1 IP, 37 H, 18 K, 9 BB, 18 ER

Severe storms anticipated for this evening (chance of flooding, hail, tornado). Could impact the game! 

4 - 7 p.m.: Super cell thunderstorms capable of large, strong tornadoes EF2+ and large hail in central Kansas.

7 - 9 p.m.: Individual thunderstorms start to form a line still capable of tornadoes and hail but out-flow straight-line winds 60 mph may start to occur in a line from Maryville, Missouri to Topeka.

9 p.m. - 1 a.m.: A line of storms with damaging wind and brief spin-ups moves into metro.

At some point, we need to start sweeping somebody or winning 4-5 series in a row.

I have seen no hint that is about to happen, but one never knows.

Red Sox were built like an AL Central team. This is their time to do it.

Yes, but ALL 7 teams ahead of them in the wildcard standings could say the same things, and do the same things.

KC had lost 6 in a row before winning yesterday, so they could be ripe for the picking. Of course KC could be saying the same thing about Boston.

KC may have the advantage of having played in more tornadoes than the Sox.

Actually, this Sox offense was built for rainouts.

The word "built" has too nice a context.

They dismantled a decent 2025 offense.

It’s Kansas.  A tornado only gets you 30 minutes…

Only 4 teams in the AL are above .500. 

Maybe the Sox can make a trade with Houston, which has a worse record than the Sox.

At this point in the season the Sox are averaging 3.63 runs per game. Their lowest since 1920.

Ironically, the only team that has scored fewer runs than the Sox is the SF Giants.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Even though both these teams are bad, at least KC has one everyday player worth watching.

Except that the game is in Missouri.

Remember the days when the Sox had a SS named Lugo?

Missouri or Kansas. What's the difference. They're both flyover states and rightfully so.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mass Attack.

Ha!  You can't teach speed!!!   Good for Masa

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If you want a game to outspeed  the storm, these are the two teams you want playing.
