With the World Series now in the books, we’re on to the offseason and that means the Royals have some massaging to do in order to make the 40-man roster one with, well, 40 or fewer players. There are currently 44 players on that roster including players on the 60-day disabled list and two free […]

If The Royals Can’t Be Good, They Could At Least Be Entertaining
Even with the extremely low expectations I had for this Royals season (my preseason prediction of a 72-90 record looks ridiculous now), this has been a bummer of a year. The boys in blue are on pace for 114 losses. In my defense, even the mothership’s PECOTA preseason projections had them at 66-96. They really […]

Friday Notes
As long as weather cooperates, the Royals will be halfway through their season when they finish their four-game set against the Twins this weekend. That’s 81 games to know what this team is and what this team isn’t, and yet, I don’t think anyone is entirely sure what they are. We’ve seen them score 63 […]
