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. It’s not spring training, it’s not the regular season, it’s…baseball purgatory I guess. I’ve heard you don’t want to be flying around Atlanta right now anyway. Huge lines.
For this exhibition game, the Royals will start Michael Wacha. We all know this guy and what he’s done.

The Rangers will start Mackenzie Gore, who is still somehow just 27 years old. I feel like he’s been talked about forever. He is on his third MLB team in his fifth season, and it’s the first with the Rangers, who gave up a ton of prospects to get him. Gore’s a good pitcher but has generally been worse than Michael Wacha the past few years. He’s just younger.
The game starts at 7:05pm US Central time. You can watch the game on MLB Network, though possibly only out-of-market. I’m a little confused as to what’s listed on MLB Gameday, which says “MLBN, MLBN (out of network)”. 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.
