The baseball season is near its conclusion, as game one of the World Series is in the books. Thankfully, the Toronto Blue Jays made the series enjoyable, blowing out the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 in the opening game at the Rogers Centre on Friday night. Even though the Dodgers and Blue Jays are still playing,… Read More The 2025 Royals Reporter Awards
In the last game of the 2025 season, the Kansas City Royals beat the Sacramento Athletics 9-2 in a comfortable victory. The win brought their season record to 82-80, the Royals’ second consecutive winning season, following their 86-game win total in 2024. There’s no question that this season was a bit of a disappointment, especially… Read More Royals Finish Off 2025 Season On Positive Note
I was able to go to the last Royals regular game at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday, which was my 28th of the season at the K. I was hoping for the Royals to complete the sweep of the Blue Jays, not only to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, but also to improve my in-person… Read More Wacha and the Royals’ Young Hitters Stick Out in Regular Season Finale at the K
Royals Director of Media Relations Nick Kappel shared an interesting Tweet today after Kansas City’s offensive explosion on Friday night that resulted in a 20-1 victory over the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays (yes, you read that score right). If one thinks about it, the Royals’ offense has been a bit of an anomaly this… Read More Analyzing Three Royals Hitters Who Could Be Key for 2026
The Royals dropped the rubber game of their three-game series with the Seattle Mariners on Thursday afternoon. They lost 2-0 in a game that was all too typical of many Kansas City defeats this season (i.e., great pitching, non-existent hitting). With the loss, the Royals’ record fell to 76-77, officially eliminating them from any shot… Read More Three Encouraging Royals Takeaways From the Mariners Series
I am about as optimistic a Royals fan as one can be, especially when it comes to millennial Royals fans, who can be a jaded bunch after the lean years from the post-Kauffman era to 2013. I always try to look at the positive end of things when it comes to my analysis and fandom… Read More To Make the Postseason, the Royals Need to Be Better
It was a frustrating series finale for Royals fans on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. After evening up the series on Saturday night with a 3-1 victory, the Royals’ bats couldn’t solve the reigning AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal, in a 5-0 loss. In seven innings of work, Skubal didn’t allow a run and… Read More After Disappointing Sunday Against Tigers, Royals Make Waves With Moves
The Royals won a big series over the White Sox in Chicago this week, improving their record to 69-65 and Fangraphs playoff odds to 13.2%, as of Thursday.

The Royals had an off day on Thursday, and per usual on these days, I try to catch up on the Royals’ Minor League affiliates. I primarily watched the Columbia Fireflies contest against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, especially with impressive pitching prospect David Shields on the mound. In this post, I will focus primarily on… Read More Four Position Prospects That Royals Fans Should Pay Attention To Right Now
There’s no question that MJ Melendez has been one of the Royals’ most disappointing players this season. After hitting 17 home runs and slashing .206/.273/.400 with an 86 wRC+ in 451 plate appearances last season, the 26-year-old outfielder, trying out a new swing in Spring Training, got off to a brutal start. In only 17… Read More The Royals Should Let MJ Melendez Prove Himself For Remainder of 2025
