Royals Can Make the Most of Dim Opportunity

And now we enter the toughest part of the season. For Royals fans, the trade deadline was a dud. Heck, the whole month of July was a dud. Now that we’re into August, there are only two months left in the season. No one* could have imagined the Royals’ season turning out this way, but […]
Recap: Royals 5, Mariners 3; Rookies and Sal Score ‘Em All

Cheslor Cuthbert’s Predictable Turnaround
Thanks to the Indians recent stretch of baseball, the Royals find themselves eight games back in the Central. They aren’t out of it, of course, but it’s been tough to keep pace with a club that won approximately 24 of its last 17 games. Despite the division standings, the Royals are right in the thick […]

Royals Third Base Tree is Blooming
There was a time in Royals history when “The Third Base Tree” was more talked about than the actual team. The Royals were struggling and so was Mike Moustakas, and sometimes when things aren’t going great, Ned Yost gets a little short with reporters and ultimately gave a great quote about going to the third […]
RECAP: Royals 2, Tigers 1; Another Cool Walkoff
Lorenzo Cain has done it. Kendrys Morales did it with a home run. Brett Eibner did it in his second big league game. And now, add Cheslor Cuthbert to the roll call of Royals who have delivered the walk off knock in 2016. After a weekend of high octane offense, it was only natural the […]
