St. Louis […]
Lineup construction is one of those things that is probably too over-emphasized. The difference between a perfectly optimized lineup and what would be a, like, purposefully unoptimized one is less than you would think. But lineups get scrutiny because they are something that you can change. Major League Baseball managers can’t magically force their players […]

Royals put together a complete game to avoid the sweep in the nation’s capital. The 6-2 final score was a product of a mostly solid all-around game for a team that needed it. Things got off to a very quick start when Carter Jensen led off the game with the first solo home run of […]

Tim Byrdak would amass a 12-year career in the majors, pitching for the likes of the Royals, Orioles, Tigers, Mets, and our hometown Astros. He’d spend three years here and make 199 total appearances while playing in Houston. Q: You played college baseball locally at Rice. When you came to Houston, was that a […]

In a lot of sports, the best players can impose their will on the game and, well, will their team to victory. But that’s not the case in baseball. Today was a clear example that baseball stars can only do so much, as Bobby Witt Jr. had three hits, a walk, and a stolen base—but […]
The Kansas City Royals (29-45) have spent just one day above .500 this season and are currently rooming with the Los Angeles Angels in the American League basement.

The Royals are at the point in the season where it’s only the sickos who are watching on random Tuesday weeknights, especially when there’s also a World Cup game in Kansas City the same evening.

To get back to .500, the Royals would have to win about 58 percent of their remaining games.

Can the Royals be a top-five team […]
