The Philadelphia Phillies already have a very capable starting rotation with names like Zack Wheeler, Christopher Sanchez, and Jesus Luzardo.

Kansas City Royals News: No sales tax estimates for new stadium yet

Kansas City is keeping stadium negotiations private for now and not revealing any figures. Lucas and Vasquez have both said newly generated sales taxes from a taxing district around the proposed stadium would primarily pay for the bonds. Lucas told reporters that Kauffman Stadium’s sales taxes were used to help project how much that might […]

Lane Thomas grand slam powers Royals past Reds 9-2

The Royals have been looking for answers, trying to find something, ANYTHING, to break the horrid stretch of baseball recently. They finally found something tonight.

The New York Yankees had a very successful week of baseball during the last week of May.

Game 59: Reds vs. Royals (7:10 PM ET) – Richardson vs. Avila

The Cincinnati Reds will begin their sans-Elly era on Monday night in Great American Ball Park with the Kansas City Royals in town.

Royals vs Reds, Game 60 Gamethread

The 22-37 Royals last won a game on Sunday, May 24th, against the Seattle Mariners. I attended that game and left when the score was 8-3 Royals. They tried to lose the game but failed. Since then, the Royals have been very successful at losing, as they suffered consecutive sweeps at the hands of the […]

Injuries don’t explain why the Royals are this bad

The 2026 Kansas City Royals are an indisputably bad baseball team. On pace for an eye-watering 102 losses, they have one of the worst bullpens and one of the worst offenses in baseball. They run into a bunch of outs on the bases. They have lost 16 out of their last 19 games one month […]

It was another tough day of Royals baseball. They were promptly swept for the third time in their last four series. They have lost 6 straight and 16 of their last 19. They are one of the worst teams in all of baseball. A four-run first inning, all with two outs, doomed Michael Wacha and […]

28-31 – Rangers close out May with 6-3 win to sweep Royals

The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Kansas City Royals scored three runs.

After dropping a four-game set three to one to the Houston […]

Game Thread LIX: Royals at Rangers

The Royals are in complete disarray. They have lost 15 of their last 18 games and are trying to avoid being swept for the third time in the last four series. I don’t really have many positive things to say, Michael Wacha starts today, he’s been one of the few bright spots this season. With […]

Erceg plays Lucy to the Royals’ Charlie Brown; Rangers win 7-6

Just when you thought the Royals had run out of ways to lose baseball games. In case you’re too young to understand the reference in the headline, there was an old Newpaper comic strip called Peanuts by Charles Schulz. One of the running gags was that Charlie wanted to kick a football. Lucy would always […]

27-31 – Rangers go streaking with late rally against Royals

Game thread LVIII – Royals at Rangers

I don’t really know what to put here anymore. I mean, sure, I can preview the pitching matchup and offer some thoughts about the lineup. And I will. But I also like to contextualize the play of the team and the importance of the game. And… there’s just no context worth offering, and there is […]

Amed Rosario is in uncharted territory

If you asked me what the highlight of Tuesday’s 15-1 drubbing of the Royals was, I’d pick Cam Schlittler’s casual six-inning, one-run start. But a close second would be Amed Rosario’s four-hit, two-homer performance. Ok, it’s important to note that his second homer came against a position player on the mound, poor old Tyler Tolbert. […]

Kansas City Royals news: Is it time to look to the future?

The Royals are searching for answers, writes Anne Rogers. “We felt like there’s a core here that we could rely on for offense,” Picollo said. “Surrounding them with a deeper, better group and more balanced group was the goal.

Royals lose third straight blowout, this time to Rangers, 9-1

It has been said that when Stephen Kolek is getting ground outs in the first inning, you can tell it’s going to be a good night. Unfortunately, Kolek didn’t get a groundball until the seventh batter he faced in the first inning, and Nick Loftin turned that into an error. But let’s back up a […]
