Royals walk off game after wild tenth inning
The Royals wasted opportunity after opportunity all night until, finally, they didn’t. Carter Jensen got his first walk-off hit as a Royal with a two-run single in the bottom of the tenth to give the Royals a 7-6 victory. Seth Lugo had a really good bounce-back start tonight. He only struck out 3 while walking […]
Padres vs Royals, July 17 game discussion
Two starts ago, Seth Lugo faced off against his original big league team in a wild game that the Royals ultimately won despite him pitching quite poorly. He will look to do better today against his other former club, the one that first gave him a shot to resume starting after what had seemed a […]
Padres series preview: The second half begins
The Royals put a frustrating first half behind them and open the second half by hosting the Padres. This is just the fourth time ever the Padres have come to town, with the Royals dropping the series the last time they played at the K in 2024. The Padres have a $200+ million payroll, but […]

Royals first-half grade cards
Following back-to-back winning seasons, the Royals had designs on contending this year.

Bobby Witt Jr. continues to play at an MVP level, and Michael Wacha […]
Kansas City Royals news: Frustration in the first half
Pete Grathoff writes the “F” word is the theme of the first half for the Royals. “Frustration is one word.

Everybody’s frustrated. Everybody in here puts in […]

Let’s fix the All-Star Break
MLB All-Star Weekend is a mess. You know it, and I know it. The only people who seem to be unaware are those employed by MLB itself. It’s a mish-mash of activities all happening at the same time, just so we can have nothing happening on Wednesday and almost nothing happening on Thursday. MLB clearly […]
Kansas City Royals news: The second half picks up tomorrow
The trade deadline is coming up; Anne Rogers talks about how the Royals may get creative For the Royals, the clearest point about this season is how much of a disappointment it’s been for a team that had high expectations after a 2024 playoff run, finishing over .500 again in ‘25 and returning that core […]

All-Star Game Thread
I hope every MLB fan gets used to Bobby Witt Jr. in the All-Star Game. This is already Witt’s third All-Star Game, and Witt just turned 26 last month. The Kansas City Royals record for most All-Star selections is George Brett with 13; Salvador Perez is second with nine. After that, multiple Royals are tied […]

The remarkable life of Dan Quisenberry
When you hear the name Dan Quisenberry, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it his fabulous pitching record? Is it his unusual submarine delivery? Could it be his wicked sense of humor? Maybe it’s his red hair and ’70s police officer/porn star mustache? It might be all or a combination of […]
Kansas City Royals News: Jac hit some towering jacks
Jac Caglianone was bounced in the first round of the Home Run Derby last night, but not before he unleashed some truly magnificent homers. Caglianone belted eight home runs in the first round of the annual tournament. He got off to a slow start before settling in with some mammoth homers. In his session, Caglianone […]
Jac Caglianone bumped in the 1st round of a wild Home Run Derby
Jac Caglianone is a gigantic human who can hit baseballs very, very hard and very, very far. But the Home Run Derby is a different beast, and while Cags hit some absolute tanks, he was eliminated in the first round of this year’s contest. Meanwhile, at least one Missouri hitter ended the day as the […]

Luinder Avila is the Royals closer of the future
Coming into the 2026 season, a lot of excitement surrounded the Royals and their starting pitching depth. That quickly evaporated in a little over a month after a slew of injuries.

Royals wrap up day 2 of the MLB draft with 16 more selections

Royals at Orioles 7/12 game discussion
After winning three games in a row, the Royals have dropped their last four contests. A couple bullpen meltdowns and inept offense have been the difference for the Royals the last four days.
