Something I wrote in last night’s recap keeps parading through my mind. This team was constructed to be a team with a high floor and enough talent to be play consistently above-average but without top-end potential outside Bobby Witt Jr. and Cole Ragans. The flaw with this build shows in games like the one last […]
The Royals dropped last night’s contest 5-3 to the Twins after a disastrous, 4-run bottom of the 6th inning.

I like hearing Herb […]
Despite a rain delay of over an hour, the game started off so well for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. took a one-out walk, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double, then Jac Caglianone drove him in with his own double. The Royals wouldn’t score again until a weak groundout in the ninth brought home Caglianone […]
For the second game in a row, the Royals won with ninth-inning runs.
