You know spring training is already in full swing when Ned Yost is giving out snarky quips to reporters like it’s candy on Halloween. It sort of seems like it’s going to be a fun year of listening to Ned snap at questions that he doesn’t deem are worth his time. Maybe it’s because he […]

Influx of Talent Coming Soon to Royals Farm System
A couple of weeks ago Baseball America ranked the Royals farm system 29th out of the 30 major league teams. This should come as little shock to anyone considering the Royals lost their ’16 first pick to sign Ian Kennedy, then traded their second round pick A.J. Puckett for Melky Cabrera. The system has also seen Ashe Russell step […]
Vargas tagged early in Royals loss to Cardinals
Suddenly, that big play at the deadline doesn’t look so amazing, does it? When Dayton Moore went out and got Melky Cabrera and a trio of arms before the start of August, the proverbial push of the chips to the middle of the table, it signaled a point of no return for the Kansas City […]

Bring On The Kids
It’s time for a painful reckoning. Even discussing this is not fun. But yes, it is time to prepare ourselves to say goodbye to many of our favorite Royals. Sure, they’ll come back to Kansas City from time to time, wearing different colors, and some people will boo them while others give them ovations for […]
Friday Notes
When your favorite team recently lost nine in a row and scored two runs or less in eight of the nine losses, you start to appreciate the little things. You know, things like a win or two. The Royals haven’t really struggled for wins over the last few seasons, so it’s easy to forget how […]
Roster Math, Spring Training Edition
Let’s be honest. This spring has been one long exercise in boredom. Yeah, the crack of the bat and the snap of the ball hitting the glove is welcome. But through Sunday the Royals have played 29 Cactus League games. They have five more before they break for Minnesota and the regular season. Seriously, 34 […]
Friday Notes
