Latest news and updates about the Royals
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals yesterday by a score of 7-6. Evan Grant writes that the Rangers come from behind victory sets them up to potentially have a winning homestand. Joc Pederson homered in the win, and is looking like the guy the Rangers thought they were signing. Evan […]
Rangers 7, Royals 6
Royals catcher Carter Jensen was shifted to the leadoff spot on Saturday with the club searching for offensive production. The young backstop came through with an RBI single and a two-run homer. Kansas City scored six runs in the contest after having put up a total of five runs in four games this week. “I […]
Just when you thought the Royals had run out of ways to lose baseball games. In case you’re too young to understand the reference in the headline, there was an old Newpaper comic strip called Peanuts by Charles Schulz. One of the running gags was that Charlie wanted to kick a football. Lucy would always […]
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Kansas City Royals scored six runs. The Rangers finally found one of those bad teams we’ve heard so much about! After going up 3-0 through most of the game, the Rangers allowed four runs in the top of the seventh to erase a quality start from Kumar […]
I don’t really know what to put here anymore. I mean, sure, I can preview the pitching matchup and offer some thoughts about the lineup. And I will. But I also like to contextualize the play of the team and the importance of the game. And… there’s just no context worth offering, and there is […]

If you asked me what the highlight of Tuesday’s 15-1 drubbing of the Royals was, I’d pick Cam Schlittler’s casual six-inning, one-run start. But a close second would be Amed Rosario’s four-hit, two-homer performance. Ok, it’s important to note that his second homer came against a position player on the mound, poor old Tyler Tolbert. […]

The Royals are searching for answers, writes Anne Rogers. “We felt like there’s a core here that we could rely on for offense,” Picollo said. “Surrounding them with a deeper, better group and more balanced group was the goal. I think we did that. But I’m accountable, too. There are some evaluations made that haven’t […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers smoked the Royals last night, 9-1. Evan Grant writes that the offense went old school. MacKenzie Gore got back on the right track with a dominant outing vs. KC. New Ranger Nicky Lopez’s first hit in Texas was a big one and came just days after the death of his […]
Rangers 9, Royals 1
It has been said that when Stephen Kolek is getting ground outs in the first inning, you can tell it’s going to be a good night. Unfortunately, Kolek didn’t get a groundball until the seventh batter he faced in the first inning, and Nick Loftin turned that into an error. But let’s back up a […]
The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Kansas City Royals scored one run. After getting battered and bruised by leaguewide losers over the past couple of weeks, the Rangers donned their blood red tops with a sellout crowd decked out in replica Nolan Ryan bloody jerseys to witness an increasingly rare feat for Texas […]
The Royals did not follow through after that Mariners series to do anything to the Yankees except scare them enough in that series opener to annoy the Yankees into grinding them into the dirt for two straight nights. The Royals don’t have a lot to play for in terms of wins and losses, but if […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 29, 2026 against the Kansas City Royals: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore and Stephen Kolek. The floundering Texas Rangers will try to flounder less tonight against the Royals of Kansas City. Offensive dynamo Nicky Lopez is hitting ninth, which I assume is for that “two leadoff man” synergy. The lineup: […]
The Royals’ bullpen took another hit on Friday when the team announced Nick Mears has been placed on the Injured List with right shoulder impingement. The Royals recalled reliever Eric Cerantola from Triple-A Omaha to replace him on the roster. Mears pitched on Wednesday, giving up two walks and two hits among the six Yankees […]
The Rangers won their first championship in 2023, in part by spending a lot on free agents. But they had to pay the piper, and since then they have been a middling team around .500, missing the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Kansas City Royals (22-34) vs. Texas Rangers (25-31) at Globe […]
I went to my second Kansas City Royals game of the season on Wednesday night. I was in great company and just love being at a live baseball game, I was as depressed about the team leaving Kauffman Stadium after a 7-0 loss at the hands of the New York Yankees as I have been […]
The 2026 Kansas City Royals season has taken a difficult turn, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are not pretending otherwise. This episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast navigates a bleak stretch of baseball with the honesty and perspective that have defined the show through the tough times. The episode opens with the latest roster […]
Hello, and welcome to my column about positivity. Please leave all negative feelings at the door as they won’t be tolerated. Lol, just kidding, I’m a super negative person. I’m Irish, an attorney, and a Kansas City sports fan. I never stood a chance. But sometimes I have these terrible bouts of optimism. They’re rare, […]
Oof. I thought we’d get something lighter after last Friday. I don’t think the last week made things better. Max covered the labor negotiations so I’m just going to link to that article here. I know there are a lot of opportunities for jokes here. But, in all seriousness, here’s a chance do good. Donate […]
Once upon a time, Kansas City was effectively the farm team of the Yankees despite being a fellow major league franchise. They were the Athletics back then, but flash forward to modern times and Kansas City felt like a home away from home as the Yankees demolished the Royals. After sweeping them to open up […]
There’s nothing like the good feelings after a sweep. Gerrit Cole was even more impressive than in his first start post-Tommy John surgery and the game never felt particularly close. The Yankees really took it to the Royals this week in Kansas City, running up their personal winning streak against them to 14 since they […]
Despite being on the Injured List, Matt Strahm is still mentoring Daniel Lynch IV. He stood up from the bench to go get his warmup bands and start his routine in case the bullpen phone rang. That is, until a hand clamped down on his shoulder. “Sit down,” Matt Strahm remembers telling Lynch. “This isn’t […]
