I remember when the internet wasn’t everywhere. When I was in high school in the aughts, you had to go to a computer to log onto Myspace or Facebook or to browse ESPN. In my freshman year of college at the tail end of the decade, my school didn’t even have WiFi in the dorms—you […]
Minnesota Twins brass already labeled the franchise as a buyer ahead of the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline, but just in case the front office was having second thoughts, Kody Clemens applied a little more pressure in possibly the most stunning finish of the season. Thursday’s 4-3 walk-off victory over the Kansas City Royals strengthened […] The post Kody Clemens’ walk-off grand slam helps Twins set bonkers MLB record appeared first on ClutchPoints .
For eight and two thirds innings AND two strikes of this nine inning game, the Twins looked lifeless, dead, and outclassed by a much inferior Royals squad. To the point that I had a recap completely written and ready to post as soon as the score went final. But Kody Clemens had other plans. Unfortunately, […]
Despite a gem spun by Noah Cameron, the Royals lost today, 4-3. The Minnesota Twins won on a walk-off Grand Slam by Kody Clemens off Matt Strahm. It is the ninth time this season that the Royals have lost via walk-off, and the second time the bullpen has allowed a walk-off Grand Slam. Before the […]
The Royals have a chance to win their first road series since they beat the Twins in their last visit to Minnesota in early June. Noah Cameron will start today with no opener, even though he had a pretty good outing as the “bulk” guy last time. He spun seven shutout innings, but the Royals […]

The Royals are obvious deadline sellers, but their efforts over the next few days will focus primarily on trading players on expiring contracts, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Feinsand quotes an executive with another club who indicates that Kansas City plans on trying to contend next season and hasn’t been keen on discussing players signed/controlled […]
There’s been a lot of smoke around the idea of the Royals trading Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo. A lot of it has come from the media, including Jim Bowden and Andy McCullough of The Athletic, one who proposed an unlikely trade to the Cubs and the other who said the Royals need to bite […]
Randy Dobnak threw 7 scoreless innings, and Salvador Perez tripled for the first time since 2022, in Royals 4-0 win. And in the fourth, Royals captain Salvador Perez hit a leadoff triple — his first since the 2022 campaign. Perez chugged around the bases before belly-flopping into third base with his trademark smile. “Somebody told […]
I’d seen last night that the Twins were at .500And had a chance to keep winning streaks along,And out they came, and we hoped for skillful playing,But then everything we hoped ended wrong, ‘Cause the Royals, they said, “Sit down,Sit down, no gettin’ on base,“And Dobnak, he said, “Sit down,You’ve all got egg on your […]
It was a nice calm win today for the Royals. They took the lead early, built on it, and closed it out 4-0 in a workman-like game type we have not had nearly enough of this season. The Royals got the scoring started in the third when Tyler Tolbert hit a home run to left […]
After a blown save ruined game one of the series, the Royals head back onto the field to face the Twins again this evening. It is still fun to watch games, but the looming trade deadline is really the star of this week unless it continues to be near radio silence across the league. The […]

It has been a frustrating season for Vinnie Pasquantino, and last night was just another setback. Pasquantino exited Tuesday night’s game against the Twins with hand soreness, and today the Royals placed him on the Injured List with right wrist soreness. Pasquantino previously missed a month after suffering a hamate fracture in mid-June. To replace […]
In the offseason, the Atlanta Braves appeared to have an embarrassment of riches in their starting rotation. Not only was the group full, but Atlanta looked like it would have to make some difficult decisions just to narrow the rotation down to five starters. Chris Sale was the unquestioned ace of the staff. Spencer Schwellenbach […] The post Are the Royals the Perfect Trade Partner for the Braves? appeared first on Just Baseball .
We’re less than a week away from Monday’s trade deadline! Activity has yet to really pick up outside of a fascinating pitcher for hitter swap between the Nationals and Red Sox over the weekend. There have otherwise been mostly depth moves. The compressed standings mean all but six teams (the Angels, A’s, Royals, Rockies, Mets […]
The Twins offense tonight could only be described as groundball happy, get ready to read the words “double play” about a million times. In the 1st, 2 on and 1 out, Kody Clemens hits into an inning ending double play. In the 2nd inning, Luke Keaschall ends the inning with their second double play. They […]
Royce Lewis hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth to walk off the Royals tonight. The victory brought the Twins back to .500 and within a half-game of the Guardians for the AL’s last Wild Card spot. They’re in third place in the AL Central and just 2.5 back of the White […]
Seth Lugo has somewhere between 17 and 38 different pitches to stymie opposing batters (nine, technically, per Statcast). He did just that in Tuesday’s start against the Minnesota Twins, tossing six innings and allowing only one run. But none of them can force his offense to score or prevent his bullpen from imploding, and the […]
Miss me? Well, most of you probably didn’t even clock that you hadn’t read an article from me in a while considering we’re in the dog days of summer here and the Royals continue to plod along slowly. That’s totally fair. But I have been without internet for most of the past 10 days, sailing […]
