Wacha has had a very nice start to the season, but his last time out was shelled. And it was his 300th career start. Hopefully you'll see a good outing.

Game is on Apple+, so I won't be able to watch it. Sucks to spend $159 on mlb.tv and still have blacked out games.

I know, it's ridiculous.

Hes about to be moved most likely before the trade deadline.

If you believe the Royals broadcasters, Wacha is serving as something of a token veteran, a locker room presence, mentor, etc. I wouldn't assume he's gone.

Wacha is dead center in their puddle of meh but might have trade value according to that snippet???

Fr or closure wasn't his night. Gave up 4 runs in four innings and could have been worse (Twins making lots of contact). I didn't see too many fastballs
And when I did they were about 92. Lots of 85 changeups that didn't have a ton of movement. Had a 78 off speed that hung up a little and get hit. Still fun to see him pitch again after all these years.
