The Royals continue their run at history as they welcome in the Boston Red Sox for a three-game weekend set. The Red Sox have the best record in baseball, so if you’re a fan of watching a good team, this would be the weekend to head out to the park. Offensively, the Red Sox do […]

Friday Notes
What more is there to say about this season? It’s actually interesting because when the Royals got good, I made a point that it was easier to write about a bad team than a good team because there were more areas to critique. I think I’ve learned this season that there is a limit to […]
Moose’s Potential Suitors
The rumors are heating up, so I think we should take a look at the trade market for Mike Moustakas. The Royals robbed us of this opportunity with Kelvin Herrera by trading him way before anyone thought they would, so let’s get to this now. Unfortunately, the market for Moose isn’t what a lot of […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Cleveland Indians, July 2-4
The hapless Royals return to Kansas City to take on the hapfull Cleveland Indians. Is hapfull a word? Officially it isn’t, but that’s okay. The Indians are quite good and seem to really be coming to life in a division that was always going to be a cakewalk for them. They can hit, they can […]
Series Preview: Royals at Seattle Mariners, June 29-July 1
The Royals head west for the final time in 2018, this time to take on the Seattle Mariners in a three-game set at Safeco Field. The Mariners were hopeful to contend this season, but I think being on pace for 100 wins at the halfway point was beyond even what they were expecting this year. […]

Now that the Royals finally have Jorge Bonifacio back, they can prepare for their second half push to the pennant. Stop laughing. Seriously, stop. Okay fine, so getting him back won’t change anything, but it will make the team a little easier to watch and maybe a little more fun. I keep thinking back to […]
Series Preview: Royals at Milwaukee Brewers, June 26-27
The Royals will complete their home and home series with the Brewers with two games at Miller Park in Milwaukee. This is the Royals fourth trip to the stadium since it opened with the Royals holding a 5-3 record there. The Brewers, though, are quite good and the Royals are quite not, so to improve […]
Series Preview: Royals at Houston Astros, June 22-24
What could go wrong? One of the worst teams in baseball now has to go on the road to face one of the very best just a few days after getting swept by them at home. Yes, that’s right, the Royals now have to take on the Houston Astros in their home park, which could […]
Friday Notes
Yesterday was a good day for the Royals because they didn’t lose. Those days are few and far between in 2018, which is somewhat expected, but also surprising at how prolific it has been. When I predicted 73 wins, I think I was probably somewhere around the median for this team. Now, in order to […]
The “Only Against the Royals” All-Stars
When the Twins demoted Miguel Sano last week, it got me thinking about how maybe the lack of times the Royals and Twins have faced off this season is partially to blame for the slugger’s struggles this season. It’s not hard to come to that conclusion. Look at last season when Sano hit a robust […]
