“Reporter Jottings”: Six Takeaways at Just Baseball; Mitchell Goes Yard in AFL; Former Royal Makes World Series Debut

The World Series is tied up at one apiece, with the Dodgers winning 5-1 on Saturday night. After scoring 11 runs in game one, the Blue Jays’ offense was silenced by Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamato, who allowed only one run in a complete game effort. Now, the series heads to Los Angeles for three games.… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Six Takeaways at Just Baseball; Mitchell Goes Yard in AFL; Former Royal Makes World Series Debut

“Reporter Jottings”: Royals Gold Glove Finalists; Vazquez On Fire in Arizona; Bregman in KC?

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me, which explains the infrequency of posts recently. I hope to change that, especially once the postseason nears completion. I have been rooting for a Brewers-Mariners World Series, but that has gone out the window, especially with the Dodgers sweeping the Brewers thanks to a Herculean effort… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Royals Gold Glove Finalists; Vazquez On Fire in Arizona; Bregman in KC?

“Reporter Jottings”: Five Royals Extension Candidates at Just Baseball; Kolek and Lorenzen Finish Seasons

The Royals play their final series of the year in Sacramento against the Athletics this weekend, starting tonight. As someone who grew up in Sacramento, it’s weird not just to see the A’s in a different city (I always associated them with Oakland), but playing in Sutter Health Park, a park I got to play… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Five Royals Extension Candidates at Just Baseball; Kolek and Lorenzen Finish Seasons

“Reporter Jottings”: Batter’s Box on Pitcher List; Three Key Royals on Just Baseball; Looking at Lynch IV

I went to the Royals game today, hoping to see a Sunday sweep of Minnesota. Unfortunately, the Kansas City offense was unable to come through, as they lost 5-1 to Bailey Ober and the Twins. The Royals have a big series this week in Cleveland, as they face the 72-70 Guardians, who won their third… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Batter’s Box on Pitcher List; Three Key Royals on Just Baseball; Looking at Lynch IV

“Reporter Jottings”: Massey Returns; Castro Earns IL Honors; Panzini Called Up to Omaha

The Royals are off to a brutal start at the Rate on Monday, as they are down 3-0 after one. That is not the start in Chicago they wanted, especially after losing two of three in Detroit over the weekend. Noah Cameron hasn’t had his best outing so far, as he has given up three… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Massey Returns; Castro Earns IL Honors; Panzini Called Up to Omaha

“Reporter Jottings”: Bobby Hits 100; Kurdna’s Omaha Debut; First Article at ‘Just Baseball’

The Royals are trying to clinch the series on Wednesday evening against the Texas Rangers, as they are tied 3-3 going into the eighth inning. Even though they have five hits and drawn three walks, they have cooled off a bit since Vinnie Pasquantino hit a three-run blast off of Rangers starter Caleb Boushley in… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Bobby Hits 100; Kurdna’s Omaha Debut; First Article at ‘Just Baseball’

“Reporter Jottings”: Lugo and Estevez’s Struggles; Salvy Affected By Catching Workload?

The Royals had an off day on Thursday after winning two of three against the Nationals to begin their homestand. However, while winning a series is important, it felt like the Royals let one slip away against a Washington team that sits in the cellar of the NL East. Kansas City lost 8-7 to the… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Lugo and Estevez’s Struggles; Salvy Affected By Catching Workload?

“Reporter Jottings”: Royals Add Dalbec; Leadoff Changes; New Gig With Just Baseball

The Royals didn’t get off to the most fantastic start in the Twin Cities this weekend as they lost 9-4 to the Twins at Target Field on Friday. It wasn’t very pleasant to see, especially after the Royals salvaged the series on Wednesday against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. On Saturday, they are up… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Royals Add Dalbec; Leadoff Changes; New Gig With Just Baseball

“Reporter Jottings”: Cameron’s Gem; Bobby Heating Up; Royals All-Star Snubs?

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?
