The Royals leave their best homestand of the season to travel to Cleveland to take on the best team in the division, the Indians, who have just added Josh Donaldson to ensure their postseason ends in heartbreak. As I mentioned when they played last week, the Indians lineup is good, but a bit top heavy. […]

Series Preview: Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles, August 31-September 2
If you’re a fan of futility, and really who isn’t, this weekend is the weekend you’ve been waiting for. The Royals welcome in the only team worse than them in all of baseball, the Baltimore Orioles, for a three-game set that could help to determine who gets the number one pick in next June’s draft. […]
Free Your Mind
A great many times this season, I’ve sat down to try to come up with an angle about the Kansas City Royals that might be considered fun or interesting or anything other than an attempt at click-baiting my way to a semi-interesting take that even I only half-believed in. Occasionally, I’ve been able to grit […]
10 Things That Have Gone Right For The Royals in 2018
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 […]
RECAP: A walk-off! How unexpected!
When we look back on 2018, it will be called the O’Hearn-Dozier game. The first three paragraphs looked a lot different up until about 10:40 p.m. (CT), when the Royals suddenly pulled a Lazarus, rose from the dead and shocked the Cleveland Indians in 5-4 fashion. On the one hand, I’m a little bummed, because […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Cleveland Indians, August 24-26
The Royals return home to take on the division-leading Cleveland Indians in a three-game set. The Indians have basically had their typical season. They started off middling and were sort of hovering around .500 for the first half of the season only to get hot after the break. They’re 21-11 since coming back and have […]
Introducing Your 2021 Kansas City Royals
Hey why not? The season is boring and 2021 seems to be what the front office is pushing for, so let’s have a little fun and see who could be on that roster when the team expects to be contending for division titles again. That’s an interesting year because the White Sox should theoretically be […]
RECAP: A victory, that was
I’m gonna be honest: I’m tired. I’m the proud, exhausted father of a 13-month old boy who has just learned to walk and screams for more food like a debauched Roman emperor. My capacity for rational thought is tapped. I called Brandon Maurer “Braden Mooney” in casual conversation with someone today. I can form two […]
Series Preview: Royals at Chicago White Sox, August 17-19
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 […]
RECAP: Keller shoves, O’Hearn swats in series-opening win
[extremely ‘Boomhauer from King of the Hill’ voice] Dangol’ baseball funnyol’ game, man. Dangol’ Royals beatin’ the Blue Jays, manya just don’ know what you’ll see on any given night man. The Royals had won three series openers since June 1, all started by Danny Duffy. The last non-Duffy series-opening win came May 18. The […]
