Opening Day is nearly upon us. On Wednesday, the Royals shared plenty of social media posts about their kickoff at Kauffman Stadium for the upcoming 2025 season. That includes the times of the events for Thursday’s 3:10 p.m. game. Honestly, I am pretty tired and debated not even writing this post. Returning to work after… Read More A Quick Preview of the AL Central for 2025
It’s been a quiet December for the Royals, which explains the lack of posts this month, especially over the past week. Furthermore, the end of the semester is always a busy one for me professionally, but now that I am officially on Winter Break, I will try to do some smaller posts over the next… Read More Way-Too-Early AL Central Predictions for 2025 (Version 1.0)
My first volume of AL Central Predictions came back in December. Back then, the Royals hadn’t signed Bobby Witt, Jr. to a massive extension, but they had just signed Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, and Hunter Renfroe. Furthermore, not a lot of projections had come out yet, so it was difficult to tell what the computers… Read More Pre-Spring Training AL Central Predictions (Volume 2)
I am leaving for California to spend Christmas time with my family. Thus, I won’t be as active on the blog or on X until the 26th or so. Thus, I wanted to get a quick post before I began my long journey west. In this post, based on the offseason moves thus far, I… Read More Way Too Early AL Central Predictions (Volume 1)
Not much has gone right for the Royals in 2023 as they sit with a 26-65 record as of Friday morning. While it was expected to be an “evaluation” season for the Royals, not many fans expected the Royals to be on pace for what could be a record-setting season in terms of losses. The… Read More Five Bold Royals Predictions for the Second Half
It’s been a while since I posted here, which isn’t by choice. If there’s one difficult thing about working in educational administration, it is this: when it rains it pours. Well for the last week, it’s been an absolute torrential downpour professionally, which has left me with either no time or no energy left to… Read More Five Fearless Royals Predictions for the Upcoming Season
Opening Day is swiftly approaching, as we are 12 days away, as of Saturday, March 18th. NCAA March Madness is capturing the sports nation right now, especially here in the Kansas City area (due to Kansas and Kansas State’s participation and a regional being hosted in Kansas City). That said, baseball fans are ready for… Read More Predicting the Royals’ Opening Day Roster (Version 2.0)
As promised in the last edition of the “Reporter Jottings”, I wanted to take a stab at “predicting” the AL Central division for the upcoming season. While I am not an “expert” by any means, I feel like I have a pretty good feel on the Central division, and am pretty comfortable in terms of… Read More Predicting the AL Central Standings for the 2022 Season
We are officially past 2021 and into 2022. There’s snow (and ice) on the ground in Kansas City, which seems about right after a Christmas that felt more similar to the ones I experienced in Sacramento, California growing up. First off, thank you to everyone for following this blog over the past year. This was… Read More Three Wishes for the Kansas City Royals in 2022
In part one of the “Half-Baked Predictions” AL Central season preview, I took a look at the Detroit Tigers and their outlook in the division for 2021 (hint: it’s not looking too hot). In this post, I am going to take a look at the Cleveland Indians, who are widely projected as the third-best team… Read More Three Half-Baked Predictions: Cleveland Indians
