I don’t think we’re making enough of a big deal about Salvador Perez’s second half. I’m going to do something I love to do, and that’s link back to something I wrote that was actually correct. And then I’m going to explain why I was wrong, which you should all be more accustomed to. I […]

RECAP: Keller shoves, O’Hearn swats in series-opening win
[extremely ‘Boomhauer from King of the Hill’ voice] Dangol’ baseball funnyol’ game, man. Dangol’ Royals beatin’ the Blue Jays, manya just don’ know what you’ll see on any given night man. The Royals had won three series openers since June 1, all started by Danny Duffy. The last non-Duffy series-opening win came May 18. The […]
Friday Notes
This is a little more like it. There’s some youth and some athleticism in the lineup and even if they still aren’t very good, it’s at least a bit more fun to watch than the plodding team we saw in April and May. There’s still far too much Alcides Escobar, but any Esky is too […]

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 […]
