I have missed the past two series in my “Three-Star” awards posts. Part of it was due to timing, as graduation weekend made things quite busy last week. Part of it was due to deflating series losses against Boston (at home) and Houston (on the road). Add that to a missed week of the podcast… Read More Crown Talk’s Royals Three-Star Awards: May 16th-18th (St. Louis)
The Royals lost their 2025 opener 7-4 in extra innings to the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. That marks the third-straight Opening Day loss for Kansas City, as they lost to the Twins at Kauffman in the previous two seasons (2023 and 2024). Even though the result was disappointing, Opening Day at Kauffman Stadium remains an… Read More Five Takeaways From the Royals’ Opening Day Against the Guardians
Opening Day at Kauffman Stadium is eight days away, but it feels like it will be here before we know it. In my opinion, Opening Day at the K is a Kansas City event that cannot be matched. It’s better than Opening weekend for the Chiefs, KC Current, Sporting KC, the Big 12 Tournament, or… Read More The Royals Fan Guide: Kauffman Stadium Seating Rankings
When we think spring is here, we get rough weather on Wednesday, thus extending this brutal winter in Kansas City for one more day. Thankfully, baseball is coming to Kansas City soon, with Opening Day on March 27th at Kauffman Stadium. On this cold weather day, the Royals announced that their Fountain Pass is available… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Moose Retirement; Duvall Turns Down Royals; Fantasy Baseball PLV
I wanted to wait until tomorrow to write this, but I am unsure if I will have time to post. If I do, I’ll have a more reflective post, looking at all my best posts from the 2024 season. So, hopefully, I’ll be able to do so, as I would like to end the year… Read More Thank You for Following the Royals Reporter in 2024 (And Onward to 2025)
I know many people may not see this post until tomorrow, especially since many may be spending their Thanksgiving evening with family. My wife and I had our family event a little early today, and with some time to post while watching college hoops (no thanks, NFL), I decided to write a quick post before… Read More Four Things for Royals Fans to Be Thankful For in 2024
The Royals had one of their most successful road trips of the season, winning six of seven against the White Sox and Tigers over the past week. Their sixth win came on a go-ahead, pinch-hit three-run home run by MJ Melendez in the top of the ninth on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park. As of… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: McArthur’s Struggles; Royals Hitter Contact Rates; Big Homestand Looming
The Royals completed the weekend sweep of the Oakland Athletics, winning Sunday’s game 8-4. The Sunday victory improved the Royals’ record to 29-19, the first time they have been 10 games over .500 in a season since 2015. Royals fans are riding high after the team took care of business during a weekend celebrating the… Read More Three Things for Royals Fans to Focus On In This Series With the Tigers
After a 56-106 season in 2023, it was hard to figure out what kind of club the Royals would be in 2024. Granted, 2023 was supposed to be an “evaluation” year, during which GM JJ Picollo and manager Matt Quatraro would decide who would be part of the Royals’ long-term plans and who could be… Read More With 20 Wins Already, the Royals Are Capturing Kansas City Again
On Thursday, I attended my fourth-straight Opening Day at Kauffman Stadium. It was a beautiful day at the Truman Sports Complex, packed to capacity. (The image above was the parking lot just over three hours before the first pitch.) Despite all the hoopla about the stadium vote on April 2nd and the tension between KC… Read More Royals Fall on Opening Day…What Are Some Takeaways We Can Have?
