Carter Jensen made history last night, with his 6th leadoff homer of the season, but the Royals bullpen blew it. However, it’s clear that rookie catcher Carter Jensen will not be of much concern. The standout KCMO product continues to shine for his hometown team. And on Wednesday — in a 9-6 loss to the […]
After a 5 run first inning, Kansas City had a multi-run lead for over half the game. The Marlins kept chipping away inning after inning to eventually win 9-6. It was a very exciting beginning to the game tonight, though it was both the good and bad type of exciting. Noah Cameron had a breaking […]
Only 23 games to go on this Royal season and I guess the goal at this point is to win 11 of them an avoid 90 losses? Today offers another opportunity for a win with newly resurgent Noah Cameron trying to continue his run of dominance that started back on July 24th. Since then, he […]

A reversed balk call cost the Royals a run in a loss to the Marlins, writes Anne Rogers. In a 1-0 count against Jac Caglianone — who could very likely be the August American League Player of the Month — Vodnik stepped off the mound. But as he did so, his right cleat caught the […]
Royals reliever Carlos Estévez will undergo shoulder surgery next week, manager Matt Quatraro tells reporters (link via Anne Rogers of MLB.com). The skipper described it as a “somewhat exploratory” procedure, so there’ll likely be a more defined timeline once the operation is complete.

Baseball has a way of humbling you, regressing your performance to the mean wherever the mean may be and however you may be skirting it. The Baseball Gods are equally jealous and impish. In other words, the other shoe always drops. Though Randy Dobnak’s peripherals and underlying stats have flashed danger throughout his Kansas City […]
Today, the Kansas City Royals and Miami Marlins are playing baseball on the surface of the sun. It is triple digits and humid here at Kauffman Stadium today.
