The hapless Royals return to Kansas City to take on the hapfull Cleveland Indians. Is hapfull a word? Officially it isn’t, but that’s okay. The Indians are quite good and seem to really be coming to life in a division that was always going to be a cakewalk for them. They can hit, they can […]

Friday Notes
Now that the Royals finally have Jorge Bonifacio back, they can prepare for their second half push to the pennant. Stop laughing. Seriously, stop. Okay fine, so getting him back won’t change anything, but it will make the team a little easier to watch and maybe a little more fun. I keep thinking back to […]
RECAP: Another loss, but read anyway?
Was the worst part of Tuesday’s loss in Milwaukee… A. Being one-hit by Freddy Peralta over seven innings B. Jakob Junis allowing three home runs C. Both D. Other It’s C, obviously. Don’t make this more difficult than it needs to be. The Kansas City Royals sauntered into Milwaukee and didn’t exactly cut a powerful […]
Series Preview: Royals at Milwaukee Brewers, June 26-27
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: Another misspent evening of Royals baseball
Why I spend so many of my summer nights this way is a true mystery. I’m a (semi) young man with a wife and a child and two dogs and a semi-interesting neighborhood I could go explore with my burgeoning family and instead I choose to spend my time watching [gestures] whatever THIS is that […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Texas Rangers, June 18-20
The Royals will try to put an end to their losing as they welcome in the Texas Rangers to Kansas City this week. The Rangers are kind of what I expected the Royals to be in that they’re bad, but they’re not world class bad. The Rangers, as a team, walk a lot, strike out […]
RECAP: Gattis’ grannie downs Royals in opener
With one swing of the bat, the Royals scored more runs against the Defending World Champion Houston Astros than they did in a two-game series against the garbage-pail Cincinnati Reds. Which was good! Three innings later, the Astros scored more runs on one swing of the bat than the Royals did in the entire game, […]
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 vs. Oakland Athletics, June 1-3
The Royals are red-hot (for them) and welcome in the Oakland Athletics for a three-game weekend set. The A’s are on the upswing, but not quite there yet, though they do have a talented roster with an offense that should honestly be better than it has been, a rotation featuring some promising young arms and […]
