Kris Bubic had a setback in his rehab. “He will not make his start on Sunday,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “His forearm feels good (but) his shoulder didn’t respond as well to the previous start.

3 ties, 4 lead changes, 24 hits, 13 pitchers, and a partridge in a pear tree. This game had it all, except for a Royals win that is. Texas pulled out a 6-4 extra inning affair on a wild night of baseball. The first three innings only had three major events before the game really […]

Dog Will Bite. The Royals Won’t.
We were traveling through southern Missouri last week. Interesting country. Super nice people. Loved the scenery. On Highway 160, we drove past what appeared to be an old salvage yard, and on the chain-link fence was a sign that said: Business closed Do not enter Dog will bite I loved the simplicity of that sign. […]
The many small improvements behind the breakout of Daniel Lynch IV
There is something in my DNA that makes me prefer certain types of players more than others, which I am sure is true for all of you as well. What my inclinations push me toward are not a single loud skill, but rather the players who are kind of good at everything. I think it […]

The Kansas City Royals emphatically returned to Kauffman Stadium with a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers. That was in large part due to a career game from outfielder Jac Caglianone.

The American League is terrible, so do the Royals have a realistic shot at the Wild Card?
Major League Baseball is different every year. Some years there are multiple juggernaut teams. Some years there are multiple 100-loss teams. Some years, there are neither.
