Friday Notes
Welcome to your baseball sorbet. That’s what I think the 2018 season will be for Royals fans. Don’t get me wrong, it’d be a lot more fun if the Royals were poised to take the American League by storm again this year, but after five seasons of every single game being so important, the silver […]
We Made It: Opening Day (BP Kansas City Episode 94)
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kansascitybaseballvault/2018/03/29/we-made-it-opening-day-bp-kansas-city-episode-94.mp3 That was a long offseason, and finally, after all the contract talks, trades, and other nonsense…the 2018 season begins.

Up until yesterday’s trade, the rumor mill was a-swirlin’ for a couple days after a report surfaced that the Royals had offered Eric Hosmer a seven-year deal for $147 million.

It’s that nobody, not the most well-connected beat guy or highly-placed Ken Rosenthal source, seems to have an inkling as to what the […]
It’s Time To Talk About The “R” Word
To rebuild, or not to rebuild. That is the question. At least that’s the question facing Dayton Moore. It may not be a life and death matter like Hamlet was facing, but Moore’s decisions over the next two months will set this franchise on a course that will not be decided for the next several […]

Thanksgiving is one of those benchmarks of the offseason for me. Usually, it’s pretty slow ahead of the holiday and then once the weekend ends, rumors start to get going hot and heavy. There’ll be talk of this player here and that player there to lead up to the winter meetings in a couple weeks, […]
Friday Notes
We’re somewhere between two and five days away from there being no more baseball to watch, which is both sad and also sort of refreshing. Once this silly little World Series comes to a close, there might actually be something worth talking about for the teams who aren’t a part of this postseason. I personally […]
