The 2018 Royals are a train wreck. Or perhaps, a dumpster fire occurring on top of a train wreck. This is no secret. But let’s ignore all the many, many negative things that have happened this year and focus on some positives. Yes, there are some. I promise. In no particular order, here are 10 […]

This is a Different Process
It’s been a running joke for quite some time among baseball fans that Royals hitters are impatient and don’t look to draw walks. While it was a joke among fans it has been a matter of fact at the major league level for as long as most can remember as the Royals rank last in team […]
Friday Notes

Royals Trade Kelvin Herrera for Three Nationals Prospects
After a 22-49 start to the season, the Royals are in sell-off mode, flipping Jon Jay two weeks ago and today moving the last remaining HDH member for three Washington Nationals prospects.
