Aside from losing again (of course they lost, do grow up), there were some real positives for the Kansas City Royals in Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. ……… Okay, so I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. For the 40th time this season, the Royals managed less than three runs. […]

Series Preview: Royals vs. Chicago Cubs, August 6-8
After a long road trip, the Royals come home and hope to find some wins against…the best team in the National League, the Chicago Cubs. Even with the best record in the National League, you might be able to make an argument they’ve underachieved a bit as they have a fantastic lineup from top to […]
Series Preview: Royals at Chicago White Sox, July 31-August 2
The Royals head to Chicago to take on their basement buddies in the White Sox. In a way, the White Sox are lucky the Royals exist because they’d be the worst team in the Central by a longshot if not for Kansas City, but in another way, they’re barely even in play for the number […]
RECAP: BERTO boots two in series opener
Well I hope everybody is excited for more Alcides Escobar, because he just signed a two-year extension. I expect to see that announcement Friday after Adalberto Mondesi, a young and talented shortstop, made two errors in the series opener against the Yankees. That’s not the sort of performance you can afford to have when you’re […]
Series Preview: Royals at New York Yankees, July 26-29
When you have powers like the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees squaring off, the whole baseball world will take notice. The Yankees, of course, are one of baseball’s best teams, owning the second best record in the whole sport. It’s unfortunate for them that the best record belongs to the team ahead of […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Minnesota Twins, July 20-22
Even though the Royals play like a minor league team, they don’t get the benefit of the rules of some minor leagues where the second half is a clean slate. That means they bring a horrific record into the first series of the “second half” against the Minnesota Twins, a team that has plenty of […]
Revisiting Preseason Predictions (BP Kansas City Episode 108)
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kansascitybaseballvault/2018/07/19/revisiting-preseason-predictions-bp-kansas-city-episode-108.mp3 The Royals limped…crawled…technically made it to the All-Star break and are on pace for a franchise-worst record. There weren’t a lot of positives in the first half, but Jeff and Mike made some predictions in March and had to check on the status of those calls at the break. We discussed Jorge Soler, Alex […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Boston Red Sox, July 6-8
The Royals continue their run at history as they welcome in the Boston Red Sox for a three-game weekend set. The Red Sox have the best record in baseball, so if you’re a fan of watching a good team, this would be the weekend to head out to the park. Offensively, the Red Sox do […]
Friday Notes
What more is there to say about this season? It’s actually interesting because when the Royals got good, I made a point that it was easier to write about a bad team than a good team because there were more areas to critique. I think I’ve learned this season that there is a limit to […]
RECAP: Francisco Lindor beats alleged professional baseball team
Corey Kluber with just the seven runs Francisco Lindor drove in behind him would be unbeatable in almost any given scenario, this one included. That the Indians tacked on a couple more was mostly just unfair. Royals lost 9-3 by the way. Lindor was electric. Here’s some tweets to tell you how awesome he was […]
