Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Royals at Marlins (5/17)

The NL East Leading Marlins will be looking to even the series tonight and to finally get back in the win column.

Olsen is coming off a 59 pitch outing though he did make it through six innings. He is back home and pitching at night, where he does his best work. If the defense actually decides to show up and Ollie does his thing, we should be fine.

Bannister is impossible to predict. He can just suck or throw a complete game gem. And I thought Tomko was all over the map. His pitching repertoire requires him to be down in the zone, if he is getting his pitches up -- good things will happen for the Fish.

Tonight's game is a Super Saturday game and the after game entertainment is the former lead-singer of Bad Company, Paul Rodgers .

Oh, in other promotional news, tomorrow is The Dinner on the Diamond . From my understanding tickets are still available. However they are a little pricey if you ask me: adults cost $200 per person and children get to sit on the lawn for $100 each. But if you would like to go, I think you still have the chance to secure a spot and the money will go to a good cause.

Ichthyomancy is ready for a Saturday home game. And Good Luck!
