The New York Mets will play host to the Royals the next games as both teams look to salvage what’s been a disappointing first half of the season. For the Mets, though, it’s even worse, as the team entered the year with quite a lofty payroll to go with those World Series aspirations. Instead, heading […]
The Phillies continue their tour of the midwest this week, as they travel to Cincinnati to take on the Reds in the penultimate series of the first half of the season.

The New York Mets (38-53) are back home for one final series before the All-Star break as they host the Kansas City Royals (37-54) for three games at Citi Field. The Mets took two out of three from the Royals in Kansas City last year, and took two out of three the last time these […]
Anne Rogers wrote about yesterday’s offensive outburst. Against one of the best pitchers in baseball this season in Cristopher Sánchez, the Royals scored six in the first inning and forced the Phillies’ ace out of the game after 3 1/3 innings, not letting up in their 15-1 rout to earn a series victory. Monday’s 15 runs were […]
On the latest episode of Phillies Stoplight, Tim Kelly reacts to ugly performances from Trea Turner and Cristopher Sánchez in a loss to the Kansas City Royals, along with the latest Tarik Skubal trade speculation.
The Giants have claimed right-hander Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The Royals designated him for assignment last week. Cerantola has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento, so they don’t need a corresponding move to open an active roster spot. San Francisco also outrighted reliever Gregory Santos off the […]
You dolt. You idiot. You rube. You fool. You know nothing. This guy said it looked bad for the Royals in today’s game thread. Who is that guy? He sucks. *Getting a message in my earpiece* Oh, well, uh. I’m being told that the Royals put together 22 hits in a 15-1 complete drubbing of […]
Due to the unusual Saturday-Monday scheduling, you might have forgotten that the Phillies would be wrapping up the series against the Kansas City Royals with an afternoon game today. If so, don’t feel bad. You didn’t miss anything worth seeing (if you’re a Phillies fan, that is. Royals fans probably greatly enjoyed the game). Heck, […]
This afternoon the 36-54 Royals will play their last home game against the 50-40 Phillies before the All-Star break next week. After this game, the Royals will travel to New York and then Baltimore to finish out this disappointing first half of a season. Noah Cameron takes the bump for the Royals. He was last […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Royals: Let’s talk about it.
Pitching is the currency of baseball, and if you’re drafting, college pitchers tend to be a safer bet than high school pitchers. The Royals have had some recent success drafting college arms like Brady Singer, Kris Bubic, Daniel Lynch IV, and in the later rounds, Noah Cameron. If the Royals are looking for a college […]
Look, the All-Star break is staring us right in the face. The Phillies (50-40) hit the road for some interleague […]
The hot weather in Kansas City appeared to agree with Aaron Nola. The Phillies’ starter pitched his best start of the season, going seven innings while giving up three runs. Unfortunately, it was wasted because the Phillies’ offense and bullpen came up small in a 5-2 loss. In the first inning, it didn’t look like […]
Aaron Nola has not had the season that he or the Phillies wanted, but it hasn’t fully cost them yet. They entered Sunday 9-8 in games he’s started this year. Often, the Phillies haven’t left him in long enough to turn his rough outings into uncompetitive laughers. And that’s where Nola’s struggles this season have […]
The Royals got 2 runs in the bottom of the first inning, tacked on one in the fifth inning and added two insurance runs in the eighth to take game two of the series 5-2. Bobby Witt Jr. singled with one out in the bottom of the 1st inning, he was on the move with […]
The Rangers had some interest in signing Lane Thomas last offseason, the Dallas Morning News’ Evan Grant reports. The outfielder instead joined the Royals on a one-year, $5.25MM free agent deal that was “too rich for the Rangers’ blood,” as Grant puts it, but Thomas could be a possibility for Texas as the trade deadline […]
The Royals have lost 4 in a row and 8 of their last 9, they are the worst team in all of the Major Leagues. If you told me that on March 25th, I thought you were crazy. Yes, they have a lot of key players hurt currently, but they weren’t that good when they […]
The Phillies look to win their second straight game against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon in a nationally televised game. Aaron Nola gets the ball for the Phillies as he tries to turn his thus far shaky season around. The Royals will start righty Luinder Avila who has been used in both the […]
Jesus Luzardo continued his good run of form with an Independence Day gem as the Philadelphia Phillies (50-39) cruised to a 6-1 victory in their series opener against the Kansas City Royals (35-54). Luzardo retired the first eight batters of the game, which included striking out the side in the second inning, before allowing an […]
The Royals fell to the Phillies 6-1 after Michael Wacha allowed four runs on three homers in six innings. This was Wacha’s first start after being named a 2026 American League All-Star. While it was among his worst starts of the season, it wasn’t a terrible start overall. He even struck out 7! But the […]
It’s about dang time, but MLB announced today that Bobby Witt Jr. will finally start an All-Star Game. This will be Bobby’s first All-Star start, but third All-Star appearance. He was the runner-up at shortstop in each of the past two seasons. He was first prevented from starting by Gunnar Henderson in 2024 because he […]
