Royals vs. White Sox 9/22 game discussion
It’s the last homestand of the year. That sentence brings no small measure of relief. This has been a trying season for the Royals, and it’s certainly been a trying last month for the Royals. They have lost 14 of their last 19 games. And unlike some past years where the Royals have pivoted to […]
White Sox series preview: How the tables have turned
Last August, the White Sox were in the middle of a 102-loss season while the Royals were trying their best to stay on the fringes of the Wild Card race. The Royals would win 10 of 13 against the Sox, a big part of why they were able to finish with a winning record. The […]

Some thoughts from France, and who was the first player ever signed by the Royals?
My wife and I recently spent 12 days in France, and it was fascinating to note the differences between the two countries. I felt the food in France was overrated, as was the Louvre. Don’t get me wrong, both were fine, but based on their reputation, I was expecting more. As for museums, the Musée […]
Silver Linings Loom Behind Royals Losing Cloud Following Roadtrip
The Kansas City Royals are limping into the final week of the season, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down a brutal sweep in Pittsburgh, a bullpen that keeps reminding everyone how fragile late leads really are, and the handful of bright spots still worth chasing before the offseason arrives. Jeremy unpacks why Jac […]
The Royals need to go to Costco this offseason to pick up a whole new bullpen
The 2026 Kansas City Royals have a lot of good things going for them. Bobby Witt Jr. is great. Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone are two of the most exciting young talents in the league.

Royals refuse to give in, but can’t overcome the Rays of Pittsburgh
Noah Cameron didn’t have his best stuff tonight, but he held things together and the offense just kept chipping away. Jac Caglianone had his first two hits since injuring his arm/elbow and Nick Loftin had his second career four-hit game. In the end, though, the three players acquired from the Rays during the offseason played […]
Caglianone returns to lineup, apologizes for punching wall
Jac Caglianone returned to the lineup Saturday against the Pirates after missing Friday night’s game for punching a dugout wall and cutting his hand.

Pearsed through the heart, Royals fall again
The game started off so well for the Royals as they got out to a 4-0 lead after the top of the third. But the Pirates scored 8 over the remaining six offensive innings, and the Royals could only score 1 more. KC, therefore, fell to Pittsburgh by a score of 8-5. Paul Skenes, in […]
Royals at Pirates, September 18 live game discussion
Welcome to the penultimate weekend of regular season baseball and the Royals’ final road series of the year. What a long, disappointing journey it’s been. I’m old enough to remember when the baseball season seemed like it would never end, and this one felt like it just started a couple of weeks ago. Speaking of […]
Pirates series preview: An offensive turnaround
The Pirates have hovered around .500 all season, which was enough to keep them in contention through the trade deadline. But the Phillies and Padres have pulled away since then, leaving the Pirates without a postseason appearance for the eleventh consecutive season.

Royals vs. Astros on FOX Thursday game discussion
The Royals will try to win their series against the Astros with the rubber game airing on FOX tonight, not Royals.TV. Because when you have a chance to give a 67-85 team a regional audience, you take it! But the Royals will have all their stars available tonight for the larger viewing audience. Cags returns […]
The Royals’ most intriguing prospect no one is talking about
I am not a prospect hound. I don’t spend my time poring over scouting reports or watching tape. But that doesn’t mean that I am not interested in what’s happening on the Kansas City Royals farm. Those players playing in Omaha and Springfield and Davenport and Columbia have the potential to be future big leaguers, […]
