2 3B, 2 C, no 1B

Thomson really thinking out of the box

Actual lineup contains no Realmuto and Bohm at 1B

One good day gets Turner promoted from 8th to 6th, though it's hard to argue putting him ahead of Stubbs & Sosa.

If Marsh is OK, I really hope we can get to the point were Harper is playing 1B at least 75% of the time and there's way less Sosa.

I prefer the 2 catcher defense - reduces the risk of wild pitches....

Your a wild pitch

ugh - at least it's not season ending

Thomson says Marsh is on the IL. Could be back in 2-3 weeks.

Marsh had an MRI and x-rays, there is no structural damage.

The Weston Wilson era has begun

Walker throwing BP. Crushing everything. Velocity at 88. WTF?

Royals are all over Walker to start the game.

His velocity is low and his splitter and cutter look flat.

Game is going to be over in the first - smh
