It\u2019s not spring training, it\u2019s not the regular season, it\u2019s\u2026baseball purgatory I guess. I\u2019ve heard you don\u2019t want to be flying around Atlanta right now anyway. Huge lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For this exhibition game, the Royals will start Michael Wacha. We all know this guy and what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Rangers will start Mackenzie Gore, who is still somehow just 27 years old. I feel like he\u2019s been talked about forever. He is on his third MLB team in his fifth season, and it\u2019s the first with the Rangers, who gave up a ton of prospects to get him. Gore\u2019s a good pitcher but has generally been worse than Michael Wacha the past few years. He\u2019s just younger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The game starts at 7:05pm US Central time. You can watch the game on MLB Network, though possibly only out-of-market. I\u2019m a little confused as to what\u2019s listed on MLB Gameday, which says \u201cMLBN, MLBN (out of network)\u201d. If you happen to live in the Rangers viewing area, you can watch on CW33. You can listen on 96.5 the Fan or the Royals Radio Network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Lineups:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"content-figure\">\n<div class=\"content-image\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"lightbox-btn\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"lightbox-expand\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" class=\"lightbox-overlay\" aria-modal=\"true\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"fig-caption\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source sports.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cactus League play has wrapped up, so the Royals begin their seemingly-annual exhibition trip to Dallas to play the Rangers at Globe Life in advance of Opening Day.
