Another good start, but the Royals only give him about 1.55 runs per game this year.

Unfortunately a no decision for a good outing. Left the game with the team in the lead

Wacha currently pitching in career appearance #300. KC is up 5-1 with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd at Toronto.

Wacha having an excellent outing. Gave up an early solo HR to Vlad Guerrero, Jr, but that's really been about it. Don't know if he's done or not. No one is talking to him in the dugout, so maybe he'll go back out.

KC 5 6 0
Tor 1 3 0
-----------------
End 7

EDIT - Michael gave up 1 run and 4 hits in 8 innings. Threw a season-high 100 pitches and was absolutely dominant.

Wacha started tonight in Boston. Threw six innings and gave up two earned runs (both in the 1st). He is in line for the win as the Royals lead 7-2 in the bottom of the 8th.

Interesting read.

This is the Rip Collins biography that you need to read:

Especially when you get to this part: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/rip-collins/

Quote:

That August, a story came out that Mrs. Wilma Place of Detroit thought she had been married to Collins for three years, only to find out she had not been. Wilma was married in Boston in 1922 and became Mrs. Warren Collins. They moved to Detroit, and her husband told her he needed to leave the Red Sox and change his name to Charles Place, an alias to protect him against a fan who was angry because he'd thrown a bat at the man. Then Charles disappeared in January, leaving behind Charles Jr. as well, but writing Wilma from time to time that he hadn't been able to hook on with another team. She had never followed baseball, so she had no idea that the real Warren Collins had been traded to Detroit and was playing right there in the city.

Wacha starting this afternoon in Detroit. Currently scoreless in the bottom of the first.

EDIT - Wacha gives up three runs, all earned in six innings and takes a loss tonight.

It looks like the Royals will have back-to-back Aggies pitching this weekend against Detroit.

Stephen Kolek throws Saturday(6:15pm).
Wacha (apparently on Paternity Leave) is schedule to be back to pitch Sunday(1:10pm)

Somehow missed Kolek had been traded to the Royals. Good thing for me that he has not pitched for KC yet since I used him in today's Immaculate Grid as one team only/Padre.

Tuned in tonight to watch Michael pitch, and he's been placed on the seven-day concussion injured list (retroactive to Monday).

Witt returns to lineup as Royals lose Wacha (concussion) to IL
Quote:

"[Wacha] had an off-field accident that resulted in a concussion," manager Matt Quatraro said. "Nothing overly serious, we don't think, but something that's going to keep him from pitching a minimum of seven days. So he'll go back to Kansas City and get evaluated by the doctors."

Quatraro did not disclose exactly how Wacha sustained the concussion beyond saying it was an off-field accident. The further evaluation back in Kansas City will help determine the severity and whether Wacha will miss more than the seven days required for a stay on the concussion list.

Wacha is set to start Tuesday against the Mariners.
Wednesday Night pits Kolek vs. Bryce Miller.

If you are in Kansas City, you can see 3 Aggie starters in 2 days.

Wacha throws 2.2 innings tonight surrendering 9 hits, 2 HRs, and 7 runs, all earned.

Both the Astros and Rangers could have used a good outing by Wacha, hopefully Kolek gives a better start on Thursday.

Wacha is a 34-year old journeyman with last All-Star appearance in 2015. That he is still playing is its own reward!!!
