Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Hunter Harvey, Caleb Thielbar, Hoby Milner and Jacob Webb. Mitch Spence will start for the Royals. Other Royals pitchers scheduled today: Matt Strahm, Mason Black and Frank Mozzicato. The Royals are […]
The 2026 World Baseball Classic has been great viewing for my baseball-deprived soul. I really struggle to pay attention to or care about Spring Training games, unless there is a pitcher’s velocity drop to freak out about. Mix that same baseball with a dose of patriotism and nationalism, however, and I’m all the way back […]
Hello my friends, and happy Wednesday! The Mariners finally got themselves into the win column yesterday with a close 4-3 victory over the Royals. However, the big news of the day was that Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena had a supposed 24-hour beef. Allegedly, everything is OK now, but as of this writing we’re still […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants will be playing the Kansas City Royals on the road today at 1:05 p.m. PDT. Unfortunately it will not be televised, but you can listen in on the MLB At Bat app (and probably KNBR, but it doesn’t specify.) While we wait, their social media team recently […]
It’s been 11 years since the Mets last won the division, coincidentally the last time they made it to the World Series, losing to the Royals in five games. A historic second-half collapse saw them plummet from division leaders to being dumped out of the playoff picture entirely with a loss to the Marlins on […]
With their best players playing elsewhere, the Kansas City Royals are 6-9 (nice). And in today’s contest, they’ll face a team with a worse Spring Training record: the 4-12 Seattle Mariners. It’s the Battle for Grass Creek, in other words, but a preseason version. The Royals will send Cole Ragans to the mound. As a […]
Impatiently waiting for the real season to start tends to make me overly optimistic about everything. That is how I found myself looking for some way to figure out how many more runs this team will score relative to last year’s offense. In the end, I did not completely change my opinion, but I am […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners fell just short in a 1-2 walkoff loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, but starter Bryan Woo impressed through four innings with three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. The Mariners will face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM this afternoon as RHP Cooper Criswell takes the mound. With another […]
DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY LAST NIGHT FROM BOBBY WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE *Heavy breathing intensifies* That’s my shortstop. Jaylon Thompson also wrote about the same plays. How about some more coverage of those two plays from MLB dot com? Royals.tv will allow viewers to watch Thursday and Friday’s games for free. Games will air […]
After taking a loss to the White Sox yesterday, the Royals will play another division rival in the Cleveland Guardians today. We’ll get another look at Ryan Bergert, whose appearances thus far in Spring Training have been relatively quiet. He’s thrown only three innings of one-hit ball. Cleveland sends Parker Messick to start. Messick is […]
In just two and a half weeks, the Royals will begin the regular season in Atlanta. We know most of the players that will make up the roster for that game, but a few players are fighting for the last few spots on the roster. Some of them are MLB veterans in camp as non-roster […]
In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast from Royals Review, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco dive into the excitement of the World Baseball Classic while breaking down the latest news surrounding the Kansas City Royals during spring training. From Team Italy’s now-famous espresso celebration to standout tournament performances, the hosts explore how international […]
With a little bit more than two weeks of Spring Training down, we’ve got a little bit less than two weeks of Spring Training left before they break camp and begin the slow journey to Opening Day. They’re in Arizona, and it’s enduring an unseasonable heat wave, so everyone is literally hot, but it’s time […]
The White Sox and their spring winning continued on Sunday, as they picked up their 10th win of the preseason with a 5-4 showing against Kansas City. Perhaps feeling the heat after I so boldly declared prior to the game that he was “rapidly …” Jarred Kelenic got the South Siders on the board with […]
The Texas Rangers have claimed outfielder Dairon Blanco on waivers from the Kansas City Royals, the team announced today. To make room on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have placed pitcher Jordan Montgomery on the 60 day injured list. Blanco is a righthanded hitting outfielder who turns 33 in April. Originally from Cuba, Blanco […]
The Royals are back in action this afternoon against divisional foe, the Chicago White Sox. The Royals are coming off a victory over the Reds on Saturday, by a final score of 6-2. Left-handed pitcher Noah Cameron will get the start today for the boys in blue. With the World Baseball Classic just getting going, […]
The back end of the Sox rotation is still up for grabs, but the staff in Charlotte is starting to take shape. The White Sox announced Saturday that righthander Tanner McDougal had been optioned to Triple-A, while lefty Noah Schultz was sent over to minor league camp. They’ll presumably join David Sandlin, Duncan Davitt, and […]
Jonathan India turned around a 94.3 mph sinker in a 2-2 count, launching it 392 feet over the left field wall for a leadoff dinger in Saturday afternoon’s Cactus League outing. It was precisely the kind of thing that made Cincinnati Reds fans smile for most of four seasons, the 2021 National League Rookie of […]
The World Baseball Classic is in full swing now, but Spring Training soldiers on with those left behind. Sure, Harry Ford continued his weird dominance of the event while Shohei Ohtani continued to do very Shohei Ohtani things, and Oneil Cruz still hits a ball harder than anyone when he can make contact. Seth “Quarterrican” […]
Jaylon Thompson writes about the approach of new hitting coach Marcus Thames. Thames said he maintains open communication with players. He said he asks questions and focuses on their given strengths. His goal is to not suggest changes, but rather to elevate a guy’s particular skill-set. “For me, it’s all about players understanding who they […]
The Dodgers were able to bounce back after suffering a walk-off loss on Thursday by shutting out the Kansas City Royals 6-0 on Friday. The Dodgers wasted no time putting the ball in play to begin the bottom of the first, as Miguel Rojas and Freddie Freeman knocked a pair of singles to strike first […]
The Dodgers play their first night game of the spring as they host the Kansas City Royals at Camelback Ranch. Ryder Ryan makes his second start against right-hander Mitch Spence. FRIDAY GAME INFO
The World Baseball Classic is in full swing; I’m watching Mexico try to finish off Great Britain as I write this. But there are still players left behind in Spring Training who are still competing for jobs and Mitch Spence is one of those. The Royals traded for the righty just as Spring Training was […]
