What the Royals did in Minneapolis is certainly not how you want to start a season. The good news is that there’s still plenty of baseball left to play, so hopefully that’s out of their system. Of course, the task gets tougher as they go from facing the worst team in baseball last season to […]

Friday Notes
The Royals pitching staff just walked you. And me. And the guy who was picking his nose in the car next to you yesterday on your drive home. Yes, that’s right, the Royals are giving out walks in a nightmarish fashion. And that’s what’s helped contribute to a putrid 0-3 start at the hand of […]
Duffy’s Changeup Could Lead to Big Things
The Royals haven’t had an especially strong start to the 2017 season, getting drubbed by the Twins in both of their first two games. Luckily, they count the same and they’re just two losses and this is baseball where you can be one of the best teams in your league and still lose more times than […]
Series Preview: Royals at Minnesota Twins, April 3-6
The 2017 season is finally ready to get started as the Royals head to Minneapolis to take on the Twins. You might recall the Twins weren’t especially good last season, finishing with the worst record in baseball, but they have some good young talent and an opportunity to break through soon enough. It could be […]
Friday Notes
This is it, friends. Once this weekend is over, the regular season is upon us, which means real baseball every day, which means I’m happy. Hopefully you are, too. All that’s left is a post-Cactus League, pre-regular season series in Texas and then we go. I’ve mentioned this before, but when I left for Arizona, […]
Spring Training Questions: How Good Are The Royals?
By now you’ve probably noticed that the regular season is starting in less than a week. And because of that, there will be no more spring training questions to be asked and for me to attempt to answer. As you know, there will be plenty more questions to be asked during the season, but I […]
Friday Notes
If you’re counting down days until the season, we’re down to 10 days left before the Royals and Twins are scheduled to start their respective 2017 seasons. I say scheduled because it’s Minneapolis in April and they built an outdoor stadium with no dome. I still don’t get that. But anyway, we’re finally getting close […]
Spring Training Diaries: Karns Cruises, Salvy Sprints and Minor Mows
What can you take from any one game? The answer, of course, is very little. Divide that even more when you’re talking about spring training. That said, each game can tell you part of a story, and it’s up to us to figure out how much of the story that game tells. In some cases, […]
Spring Training Diaries: Vargas, Roster Spots and Soler Power
I’ve said a few times that spring training doesn’t mean much until it maybe means a little bit more than nothing. As we embark on the final couple weeks of games, this is when it starts to mean a little bit more. It’s still not that vital, but the games begin to resemble real baseball games a […]
Spring Training Questions: Who Hits Leadoff?
We’re in the home stretch of spring training with Opening Day now less than two weeks away. The questions are becoming more focused by the day as the Royals prepare to begin their run to getting back to the postseason. That questions still exist at this point in the spring isn’t a bad thing, and […]
