Royals vs White Sox game 43 thread
After a tough loss on the South Side last night, the boys in blue are back at it again this evening. Game two of the series is very important if they want to get back home with an even record or better on this road trip. This might be the most favorable pitching matchup of […]
What do you think of Royals.TV broadcasts so far?
The Royals were one of many teams to cut ties with Diamond Sports last winter, working with MLB to develop their own broadcast channel, Royals.TV. The broadcasts have looked largely the same as in past years, with many of the same faces – Ryan Lefebvre, Rex Hudler, Jeremy Guthrie, Joel Goldberg, and Jeff Montgomery. However […]
My trip to visit the Quad Cities River Bandits
Every year we try to take in a few minor league games around the Midwest. The stadiums are intimate and comfortable. The food and drink selections are solid, and the ticket prices are unbeatable. Plus, it gives me a chance to look over some future talent. This Mother’s Day, we made a trip to Davenport, […]
Kansas City Royals news: Salvy 8 away from Royals HR record
Salvador Perez moves closer to capturing the Kansas City Royals’ home run franchise record with his first-inning slam against the Chicago White Sox. Royals fans get a decent update on southpaw Cole Ragans’ recovery after he hit the 15-day IL once again. Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Ragans (elbow) played catch two of […]
Royals almost come back to win, but almost isn’t enough in 6-5 loss
The Kansas City Royals built a 2-0 lead and came back to tie the game at 5-5, showing some fight. But in Major League Baseball, “almost” doesn’t cut it, and the Chicago White Sox where the victors in tonight’s contest. The Royals struck first. Bobby Baseball smacked a solo home run to give the Royals […]
Royals vs. White Sox game 42 thread
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 […]
White Sox series preview: Is this team good now?
The three-year streak of 100+ losses in a season may be coming to an end for the White Sox. They have won 8 of their last 12 and are flirting with .500, just 1.5 games behind first place Cleveland. They have found a few young productive hitters, as well as perhaps the best free agent […]
Royals Riding High: Witt’s MVP Case, Woods’ Record Game, and What’s Next
The Kansas City Royals continue to make their case in the AL Central, and this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast brings you up to speed on everything that matters heading into a pivotal stretch of the schedule. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with a full series recap, breaking down the wins, losses, and […]
This Week in the Minors: Jordan Woods is perfect
This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (17-21, 7.5 games back) The Storm Chasers split their series against the Indianapolis Indians, […]
Kansas City Royals News: Bobby Witt Jr. named AL Player of the Week
After his inside the park homer and a blistering offensive week overall, Bobby Witt Jr was named the AL Player of the Week. Witt collected 11 hits during the week, which included a four-hit performance against the Guardians on Thursday. It was one of three multi-hit games last week for Witt, who raised his batting […]
Who is a player you wished you could see play in his prime?
Professional baseball has been around for a century and a half, with a rich tradition of players. One of the things I love about the game is that although there are different eras – some with more offense, some with less, some with more home runs, some with more steals – the game is essentially […]
The Royals reportedly had interest in these players last offseason. How have they fared?
When the Kansas City Royals hit the 2025/2026 offseason, they had a few items on their wish list. Generally, they were looking to shore up their outfield, which was a significant weakness for them. Specifically, they were on the hunt for three things: a right-handed bat to play against lefties, a starting left fielder, and […]
Is this the year for Bobby Witt Jr. to win MVP?
About seven or eight years ago, there was an established adage/joke among baseball fans, and it went something like this: the MLB season doesn’t officially start until Mike Trout leads the league in Wins Above Replacement. At the time, Trout was the undisputed best player in the league, and eventually other players’ hot starts would […]
Kansas City Royals news: Bobby can fly!
Blair Kerkhoff writes that Carlos Estévez is frustrated by his injury. The team announced this week that Estevez has a right rotator cuff strain after experiencing shoulder discomfort in his first rehab assignment Wednesday. Estevez will be shut down for the next three weeks. “It’s been a crazy first part of the year already, snowballing […]
Royals drop finale 6-3 to Detroit
Well, you felt good about a sweep going in. All you had to do was best the Tigers bullpen, and after overcoming a 3-0 deficit to tie it after 4 innings, the Royals looked primed to sweep their divisional foe. However, Gage Workman, who literally got recalled this afternoon from AAA hit his first career […]
Game Thread XLI: Tigers vs Royals
The Kansas City Royals have already clinched a series win and a winning homestand after taking the first two contests against the Detroit Tigers. A thrilling comeback and walk-off on Friday and a dominant Michael Wacha outing last night have propelled the Royals back to 19-21 on the season. If the season ended today, the […]
Bobby Witt Jr. smacks inside-the-park-home run in 5-1 Royals win
Coming into 2026, Michael Wacha had been the epitome of consistency for the Royals. If you saw he was starting, you could mark down ~6 innings and a couple of runs scored pretty much every time. Every once in a while, he’d get torched, slightly more often than that, he’d pitch a gem. 2026 has […]
Game thread XL – Tigers at Royals
One of my favorite things that happens on Royals Review is Suff76’s Path to 90 wins. Now that we’re at the quarter-point of the season, I wanted to check in on that. If the Royals were following that path, they’d have been 19-19 entering this series, and would want to be 21-20 exiting it. Instead, […]
Kansas City Royals news: This is turning into Bobby’s team
Jaylon Thompson writes about how a visit to a pitching facility in Georgia helped Daniel Lynch IV. McLaughlin saw an avenue that could help Lynch. He uncovered that Lynch had his glove positioned lower throughout his throwing motion. So as Lynch turned to throw the baseball, he wasn’t staying balanced through his delivery. It caused […]
Royals return favor and walk off Tigers, 4-3
Royals broadcast Ryan LeFebvre has a handful of topics he likes to bring up as often as he can. Leadoff walks late in the game, pitchers catching popups, whether a catcher has an advantage when facing a pitcher he’s caught before. But one of the things he brings up a lot that I actually kind […]
Game thread XXXIX – Tigers at Royals
I know the Guardians series didn’t end how any of us wanted it to, but the Royals still split a four-game series against a tough team. That’s a win. Especially if the Royals can win the series starting tonight, against the Tigers. By all rights, the Tigers should be in a bit of freefall right […]
Cole Ragans placed on the Injured List
The Royals announced they have placed pitcher Cole Ragans on the 15-day Injured List with left elbow impingement. Ragans exited his start on Wednesday after four innings with what was reported as soreness and tightness in tricep and the back of his elbow. Anne Rogers reported he had “valgus extension overload”, also known as “pitcher’s […]
Tigers series preview: Detroit is running low on pitchers
The Tigers come to Kansas City this weekend, giving the Royals an opportunity to vault ahead of them in the mediocre Central Division. Detroit was considered by many to be the favorites to win the division title, but have had an up-and-down start and have dropped six of their last nine. The Tigers’ rotation was […]
Do you remember the first Royals game you attended?
Yesterday was School Day at the K, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Kansas City-area children were attending their first Royals game (and learning early on that being a Royals fan means seeing a lot of losing!) Despite the loss, it was a beautiful day in a beautiful ballpark, and they got to see a couple […]
Royals Regroup After Guardians Split, Rotation Depth Tested by Injuries
The Kansas City Royals just wrapped a pivotal series against the Cleveland Guardians, and there is plenty to unpack, from a wave of pitching injuries to the emergence of some intriguing names from within the organization. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with the injury news reshaping the Royals’ rotation outlook. Cole Reagins, Noah Cameron, […]
