The slog of the schedule is really upon us now. The Royals hit the road to take on the Chicago White Sox once again, their last trip to Chicago this season (assuming the rain doesn’t wash away a game and MLB makes them go back to play it). The White Sox occasionally show off their […]

Pitching Prospects At Lexington-Daniel Lynch, LHP

The Virginia starter signed for $1,697,500 as the 34th-overall pick in this year’s draft, immediately after […]
Friday Notes
The Royals roster currently has five players who are over the age of 30. Four of them are free agents at the end of the year (with one, Ian Kennedy, coming off the DL to add back to the 30+ group). The point here is that the youth has arrived, and while the results aren’t […]

Forget the past, focus on the future
Watching the Royals game on Tuesday night, it was as if the 2015 championship version melded with the dreadful 2018 club. A bizarre night, indeed. The Royals channeled the 2015 vintage as they kept the line moving with six doubles and four steals. The 2018 Royals manifested in a pair of double plays and, as […]
Duffy’s 2018 journey takes detour to the DL
Since a disaster start against the Yankees at The K on May 19 where his ERA reached the nadir of 6.88, Danny Duffy has been slowly chipping away at that number. There have been a few speed bumps along the way, to be sure, but for the most part he’s made steady progress. From his […]

Series Preview: Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays, August 13-16
The Royals remain home, but get to return to facing American League teams as the team they defeated in the 2015 ALCS comes to town. That’s right, friends. It’s Blue Jays week, which doesn’t really mean anything, but it could have if both teams had stayed good a little longer. The Blue Jays were a […]
