The Royals will complete their home and home series with the Brewers with two games at Miller Park in Milwaukee. This is the Royals fourth trip to the stadium since it opened with the Royals holding a 5-3 record there. The Brewers, though, are quite good and the Royals are quite not, so to improve […]

RECAP: Whoa. A win.
Bear with me, it has been ages since I recapped a win. I’m probably rusty. That a team as bad as the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t find something to do with Rosell Herrera is starting to become a bit of a mystery to me, but their loss was the Royals gain on Friday night. That’s because […]
Series Preview: Royals at Houston Astros, June 22-24
What could go wrong? One of the worst teams in baseball now has to go on the road to face one of the very best just a few days after getting swept by them at home. Yes, that’s right, the Royals now have to take on the Houston Astros in their home park, which could […]
RECAP: Big fly does in the Royals again
It’s not so much that the Houston Astros are better than the Kansas City Royals—that was obvious before the first two games, obvious during them, will be obvious for all of this season and might be obvious until the earth is shrouded in fire and all that remains are sorcerers and asbestos—but more distressing is […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Houston Astros, June 15-17
Next up for the Royals is the defending world champion Houston Astros, so I guess you could say that it can always get worse. The Astros probably aren’t too surprised to find themselves in a battle for first place, but I doubt they expected it to be with the Mariners. Their rotation has been outstanding […]
Series Preview: Royals at Oakland Athletics, June 7-10
The Oakland Athletics missed the Royals so much after their weekend stay in Kansas City that they’re inviting the boys in blue to the bay for a four-game set to hang out some more. We just learned about the A’s last weekend, so there’s nothing I can tell you here that you didn’t read six […]
Series Preview: Royals at Los Angeles Angels, June 4-6
The Royals make their first trip out west and will take on the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game set. The Angels have had an odd season. They’re 18-10 on the road, but just 14-18 at home, and this series will be a home series for them, if you didn’t already know. We all know […]

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kansascitybaseballvault/2018/06/01/strikeouts-and-homers-and-hits-oh-my-bp-kansas-city-episode-102.mp3 The Royals had some success this week, including some solid pitching performances by Brad Keller, Danny Duffy, and Jason Hammel.

We also discussed Jon Jay’s successful May, Hunter Dozier’s adjustment to the big leagues, and took another look […]
Royals Progress Report
The 2018 season for the big league Royals was never meant to be a championship season. It was never meant to provide thrilling moments in August and September. It was never meant to provide even a glimmer of hope that the team could even be in contention at the one-third mark. Sure nobody in the […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Minnesota Twins, May 28-30
The Royals return home and face off against the Minnesota Twins for the first time in 2018. After surprising last season, the Twins were expecting to take another step forward this year but that hasn’t come to fruition just yet. They’ve dealt with a few injuries, losing Jason Castro, Joe Mauer, Miguel Sano, Byron Buxon […]
