I am traveling back from Ireland today, which explains my lack of posts and coverage on Bluesky and Twitter beyond the occasional retweet here and there. I have some time to wait in the airport for my flight, so I figured I would write a quick post before getting back to Kansas City. There’s been… Read More Three Royals Players Who Could Be Key in the Second Half
I will be heading to Ireland for about 10 days, so I wanted to at least get in a quick “Jottings” post before I leave (I am currently visiting my sister, brother-in-law, and niece in Portland, Maine). I won’t go into too much depth here, but I wanted to share some thoughts on the Royals… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Cameron’s Gem; Bobby Heating Up; Royals All-Star Snubs?
The Royals have won two games in a row, clinching their first series win since their June 3rd-5th series in St. Louis. The Rangers were expected to be a tough challenge due to their pitching (their rotation ranks 2nd in SP ERA and 1st in WHIP). However, the Kansas City offense has woken up on… Read More Maikel Garcia Is Making His Case For the All-Star Game
The Royals finished the first half of the season 52-45. That is a monumental surprise for any realistic Royals fan. At the start of Spring Training, many Royals fans were hopeful that this team could win at least 75 games. Instead, the Royals are only two games out of the final Wild Card spot and… Read More Handing Out the Royals Midseason Honors
The Royals were scheduled to begin the two-game “I-70 Series” against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium this evening. Unfortunately, Tuesday’s game was postponed due to the weather, and the series against the Cardinals will be a one-day doubleheader instead. The “I-70 Series” on Wednesday will be between two competitive teams with playoff aspirations.… Read More The Royals’ Performance In the I-70 Series Could Build Some Needed Momentum Into the Break
The Royals escaped from Denver with at least one win, as Maikel Garcia, MJ Melendez, and Bobby Witt, Jr. all homered in Kansas City’s 10-1 victory over the Rockies. The Royals did lose two of three at Coors Field to a Rockies team that currently sits in last place in the NL West with a… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Royals All-Stars; Schreiber Analysis; Forums at Royals Reporter
The Royals won the first game of a four-game set against the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman on Thursday evening. Even though it was a weekday night game, almost 24,000 attended the K, making it feel more like a late-season contest between two teams competing for a postseason berth. For a team that has hit a… Read More Freddy Fermin Is Breaking Out This Season for the Royals (But Is It Sustainable?)
It’s been a few weeks since I posted, mostly because I finally finished grad school and earned my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from the University of Notre Dame. After three summers and two full years, I finally have my degree, and now will be transitioning into administrative leadership at a K-8 feeder school… Read More Salvy, Whit and Finding Hope for the Royals in the 2nd Half
Despite the Royals best efforts, Hunter Dozier came in second in the final fan voting for the All-Star game, finishing second to Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros. Unfortunately for Kansas City baseball fans, this leaves the Royals with no guarantees of an All-Star. (But hey, at least he finished higher than Gio Ursehla of… Read More Why Whit will get screwed in the All Star game
So, I have been given the opportunity to write on the Fansided blog “KC Kingdom“, which is a Kansas City specific blog that looks at all teams in the KC Metro area, including the Royals, Chiefs, Sporting KC, as well as the major colleges such as KU, K State, and Mizzou (of course…Mizzou is like… Read More KC Kingdom Post: What are Hunter Dozier’s All-Star Chances?
