Platoons are not the problem with the Royals offense
The Royals are tied for the worst record in baseball, and manager Matt Quatraro has been the target of ire for many fans. When a team loses, the manager will bear a brunt of the criticism. It is more than fair to hold him accountable, since ultimately performance is judged by wins and losses. Fans […]

Angels series preview: The Royals could use some heavenly help
The Royals are entering the “easier” portion of their schedule as we slide into May, with the Angels in town this weekend, then a trip to Sacramento to take on the A’s. But when you have the worst record in baseball, there is no easy part of the schedule. Other teams see you on the […]
The Royals have all the signs of a poorly-coached team
The Royals have stumbled out to an 8-17 start, the worst record in baseball. Despite playoff aspirations coming out of spring training, they may have already played their way out of contention before the calendar hits May. The frustrating aspect of their losing is that on paper, this is not a terrible team. They largely […]
The Royals made the best decision they could with the Asa Lacy pick
In 2020, the COVID pandemic resulted in a stilted cadence to the typical draft evaluation process. Nevertheless, the draft continued onward and the Royals picked Asa Lacy fourth overall. However, the Royals recently released Lacy, who threw only 80 professional innings in the minors since being drafted. Lacy had only 4 starts and 24 innings […]
Kansas City Royals news: A day off before a huge nine game stretch
If you missed it, the Royals announced they will have a new stadium, and it’ll be at Crown Center. Phase one of the $3 billion project will cover 85 acres and include a new $1.9 billion ballpark and surrounding ballpark district. The city will contribute $600 million in funding, with previous reporting indicating that will […]
Royals lose an offensive battle 8-6
A day after ending the losing streak, Kansas City got into a back-and-forth battle with Baltimore. The scoring started early with both teams getting a first inning bomb. Pete Alonso hit an opposite field home run for Baltimore and Vinnie crushed one for the Royals. Baltimore’s was worth two though, and so they lead 2-1 […]
Royals vs. Orioles Game 25 Gamethread
A weight has been lifted off of the Royals after the comeback win last night. Kansas City did a lot of the things you expect professional team to do including getting runners home from third with less than two outs, key hits with runners in scoring position, and taking advantage of miscues from the other […]
Royals announce new stadium at Crown Center
The long-running downtown ballpark saga appears to be coming to a conclusion – the Royals are moving to Crown Center. The team made the announcement Wednesday morning at a “special event” featuring Mayor Quinton Lucas and Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe. Royals owner John Sherman announced a project that would place a new stadium as part […]
A look back at the 1979 Superteams competition
Take yourself back to March of 1978. Specifically, Saturday, March 11. It’s a cold, windy day. The Super Bowl is history. The NBA season is winding down, but without cable television, there is only one game on TV each week—and that is today at 1:00. And it’s a good one. The Boston Celtics, still a […]
Kansas City Royals news: The worst time for a downtown stadium announcement
MLB.com’s Anne Rogers talks to the Kansas City Royals leadership following a terrible start to the 2026 season. “You look back two months ago, month ago, no one in here would believe we’re technically the worst team in baseball,” Bobby Witt Jr. said. “We believe in each and every one in here. And that’s how […]
Victory! Royals break losing streak on walk-off wild pitch, win 6-5 over Orioles
The Royals have struggled to hit this year, so Maikel Garcia decided to try to win the game with his legs. The team ended an eight-game losing streak when Garcia scored in the bottom of the ninth on a wild pitch to beat the Orioles 6-5. It looks early on like the losing streak might […]
Royals vs. Orioles, Game 24 Gamethread
The Kansas City Royals loss last night to Baltimore Orioles was as insane and heart wrenching as we have witnessed in awhile. I chose to laugh instead of weep when Lane Thomas got thrown out at third base in the top of the tenth inning, and there was still more insanity to go after that. […]
The Royals cannot afford a Lucas Erceg problem
The Kansas City Royals’ struggles to start the season can mostly placed on the offense. They entered Monday’s game last in MLB in runs scored, and the only reason they left that position was that the Mets had a day off Monday and the Royals had the benefit of the Zombie Runner in extra innings. […]
The offense is still struggling, and Alec Zumwalt needs to be held accountable
Clamoring for someone to lose their job isn’t the best thing to do in the world. However, if you are bad at your job, what reasons should you keep it? It’s just the nature of the real world, when you can’t maintain the standard that your job requires of you, you have to go and […]
This Week in the Minors: Kameron Misner continues to crush the ball
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 (11-9, 2.5 games back) The Storm Chasers took 4 of 6 from Indianapolis, so […]
Kansas City Royals News: The Royals are looking at dark times
The Royals released Asa Lacy yesterday. With Lacy having spent parts of the last four years in a rehab setting at the Royals’ Arizona complex and set to become a Minor League free agent at the end of the season, the Royals made the decision to release him. “We just got to the point where […]
Royals offense cannot overcome Royals bullpen in 7-5 loss
That game was NOT how you overcome the bad vibes of a losing streak. The Royals were one strike away from a win, from ending this misery. They could not make it happen despite having all the opportunities in the world. The Orioles did not reach third base until the ninth inning. They did not […]
Royals vs. Orioles, Game 23 Gamethread
Well, uh, woof. After spending the weekend getting blasted by the Yankees and some minor-sounding infighting, the Royals ended a disastrous six-game road trip on a real heater, losers of seven in a row. The vibes are not good as the Royals are tied with the Mets for the worst record in baseball at 7-15. […]
Royals release former first-round pick Asa Lacy
The draft can be a bit of a crapshoot. Injuries derail some players, while others have trouble adjusting to the professional level. Asa Lacy experienced both problems. Six years after the Royals made him the fourth overall pick, the team is finally cutting ties, releasing him outright. Lacy was an absolute stud at Texas A&M […]
Jonathan India lands on the Injured List
In the midst of a seven-game losing streak, the Royals added injury to insult on Monday. The team announced second baseman Jonathan India has been placed on the Injured List with a left-shoulder subluxation. The team has called up Nick Loftin from Omaha to replace him. India has continued his struggles from last year, hitting […]
Orioles series preview: A must-win series
The Orioles made the playoffs in 2024, had high expectations in 2025 only to crash and burn with a losing record. That sounds a bit familiar. They’re off to a decent start this year, but have dropped five of six recently, including three of four on this road trip. Baltimore Orioles (10-12) vs. Kansas City […]

The Royals have probably played themselves out of a playoff spot already
After a disappointing 2025, everyone in the Kansas City Royals organization–from the coaches to the players to the front office–were adamant that this year’s goal was making the playoffs again. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the season has been a complete and total disaster. We’re 22 games in, and the Royals stand at 7-15, tied for […]
