Anne Rogers writes about the Royals’ road frustrations, particularly from Salvador Perez.

With tonight’s 6-2 loss, the Royals were swept by the White Sox for the first time in three years. The Royals dominated the White Sox for the past couple of seasons, but that hasn’t been the case through the first seven games of 2026. The teams split their first series of the year, in Kansas […]
Sorry everybody, but stepdad David is in charge tonight. You will not be getting a detailed preview.

During the previous two seasons, the Royals won 22 of 26 games against the South Siders. But things have changed now. The White Sox beat the Royals […]
The kids are alright, and the South Siders are somehow sitting at .500. On a chilly Wednesday at Rate Field, the White Sox outlasted the Royals, 6-5, riding a Colson Montgomery missile and just enough bullpen duct tape to keep the fanbase from collective despair. Noah Schultz spent the first three innings playing surgeon. Seventeen […]
If you were categorizing where the Royals were struggling the most this season, you would probably go with on the road, hitting with runners in scoring position, and against left-handed pitching. All three of those problems arose again today in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox, though the team fought and kept themselves in […]

Chicago gets a shot at .500 tonight as the rookie Noah Schultz takes the hill for the Sox. Kansas City counters with Seth Lugo, a veteran righty who’s seen it all. Schultz is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA and a WHIP that’s not exactly sparkling. His last start? A tire fire: seven runs, seven hits, […]

Bobby Baseball smacked a solo home run to give the Royals […]
It’s time for baseball! After a Monday off day, the Royals are in Chicago to play the White Sox. Stephen Kolek is back for another start, in place of the injured Cole Ragans. While it stinks for Ragans, it is nice to see Kolek get some more chances, as he has looked pretty good so […]
