Vinnie and Salvy power Royals past Blue Jays
An early 3-run home run from Vinnie Pasquantino and a 2-run home run from Salvador Perez put the Royals up 5-0, and they never looked back as they knocked off the Blue Jays 6-1 on Sunday. After a couple nice plays in the top of the first inning, allowing Randy Dobnak to face the minimum, […]
Royals vs Blue Jays, September 6 live discussion
The Royals have struggled in the month of September and to open this homestand, sitting at 1-4. For the second straight series they will look to avoid being swept. The Royals are 63-80 on the season. Today, it was announced that Jac Caglianone, who left the game last night, has a grade 1 flexor strain. […]
Oh no, Okamoto! Royals drop another series
The Royals had won five straight series against the Blue Jays coming into tonight. No longer. A pair of costly errors, Kazuma Okamoto’s four-hit night taking advantage of them, and the Royals’ relapse with runners in scoring position led the Blue Jays to take the series. The Blue Jays won 4-3. As has so often […]
Royals vs Blue Jays, September 5 live discussion
The Royals have lost three of four games since September started. After a hot couple of weeks to finish August, some of us were dreaming about the playoffs, but their odds are back down to 0% after a recent peak of 0.2%, so it’s hard to even dream. Tonight’s game promises to make things that […]
Kansas City Royals news: Torii Hunter regrets not being a Royal
Jaylon Thompson writes Daniel Lynch IV had mixed results in a loss to the Blue Jays Friday. Lynch got through five innings. He had more conviction in the final three frames as he didn’t allow a run for the remainder of his start. And the challenge now is to replicate his command and carry it […]
Danny Drips droops as Royals drop third game of homestand
This game was out of control for KC very quickly. Daniel Lynch IV made his fifth start as a Royal, and the broadcast played an interview with manager Matt Quatraro who said, “I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him as a starter, yet.” I’m more afraid we haven’t seen the worst; the Royals […]
Royals vs Blue Jays, September 4 live discussion
One of the fun things about covering the Friday and Saturday night games all season has been that, on a week like this with one off day, if a good starting pitcher pitches on a Saturday, I get to write about him that night, and I know I’ll get to write about him again next […]
Blue Jays series preview: The team that ended the streak
The Blue Jays ended the Royals’ nine-game winning streak last week, but still dropped two out of three to the boys in blue in Toronto. They’ll take the series to Kauffman Stadium, with the Jays playing as hot as Kansas City weather, winning five of their last six. Toronto Blue Jays (70-71) vs. Kansas City […]

Caglianone and Cameron Make History While the Royals’ Season Slips Away
Jac Caglianone and Noah Cameron just became the first pair of Royals teammates to win AL monthly awards in the same month since 1985, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco give the milestone its full due even as the season around it has slipped back into disappointment. Cameron’s August was more than enough to earn […]
Kansas City Royals news: Awards all around!
Max posted the big news yesterday. A pair of Royals were given “of the month” titles: Jac Caglianone, Noah Cameron win AL honors for August At The Star, Jaylon Thompson wrote about Caglianone: On Thursday, Caglianone was recognized as the AL Player of the Month. He is the 13th different Royal to receive the monthly […]
Hook, line, and Wacha: Royals sink Marlins in series finale
Despite falling behind early, the Royals fought back thanks to the arm of Michael Wacha and timely hits by Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone to win the third and final game of their series against the Miami Marlins, 7-3. The win improves the Royals record to 63-78. Which means, of course, that the Royals will […]
Royals vs Marlins September 3rd game discussion
Lately, I’ve been writing game discussions and recaps after unfortunate events. Last Thursday, I wrote the game thread the day after the nine-game winning streak snapped. Today, it’s following the end of five straight series wins. But that’s okay. Listen, if you were thinking that the Royals could make the playoffs during this stretch of […]
Jac Caglianone, Noah Cameron win AL honors for August
The only thing hotter than the August weather in Kansas City has been the performance of Jac Caglianone and Noah Cameron. Today, the pair was recognized with Caglianone named American League Player of the Month for August, and Cameron named American League Pitcher of the Month. It is just the fourth time in Royals history […]
Kansas City Royals news: Familiar losses the last two nights
Carter Jensen made history last night, with his 6th leadoff homer of the season, but the Royals bullpen blew it. However, it’s clear that rookie catcher Carter Jensen will not be of much concern. The standout KCMO product continues to shine for his hometown team. And on Wednesday — in a 9-6 loss to the […]
Royals start strong but lose a stinker to the fish
After a 5 run first inning, Kansas City had a multi-run lead for over half the game. The Marlins kept chipping away inning after inning to eventually win 9-6. It was a very exciting beginning to the game tonight, though it was both the good and bad type of exciting. Noah Cameron had a breaking […]
Royals vs. Marlins September 2nd game discussion
Only 23 games to go on this Royal season and I guess the goal at this point is to win 11 of them an avoid 90 losses? Today offers another opportunity for a win with newly resurgent Noah Cameron trying to continue his run of dominance that started back on July 24th. Since then, he […]
The Royals didn’t call up Carson Roccaforte or Gavin Cross for some interesting reasons
“With the position that our team’s in right now, it’s a time for us to take advantage of opportunities to evaluate for 2027.” That’s what JJ Picollo, Royals general manager and overall head honcho of baseball operations, said in the dugout before Tuesday’s game when asked why Kansas City let John Schreiber go a few […]
Kansas City Royals news: Quatraro gets ejected
A reversed balk call cost the Royals a run in a loss to the Marlins, writes Anne Rogers. In a 1-0 count against Jac Caglianone — who could very likely be the August American League Player of the Month — Vodnik stepped off the mound. But as he did so, his right cleat caught the […]
Old time City Series
It’s amazing to look back and see how much life has changed in just a few generations. My life often seems stuck in neutral, one day, week, year blending into the next. I know things are changing; I just don’t often see or appreciate it. It’s amazing to look back and see how much life […]
Randy Dobnak’s magic runs out, ironically during the Royals’ Harry Potter night
Baseball has a way of humbling you, regressing your performance to the mean wherever the mean may be and however you may be skirting it. The Baseball Gods are equally jealous and impish. In other words, the other shoe always drops. Though Randy Dobnak’s peripherals and underlying stats have flashed danger throughout his Kansas City […]
Royals vs. Marlins September 1 game discussion
Today, the Kansas City Royals and Miami Marlins are playing baseball on the surface of the sun. It is triple digits and humid here at Kauffman Stadium today. Even in the shaded dugout, I was wilting as I stood listening to the Matt Quatraro and JJ Picollo press conferences. There are a couple of interesting […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country.

Royals expand rosters with Drew Waters, Easton McGee, Nolan Hoffman
Now that it is September, MLB teams can expand the roster from 26 to 28. The Royals also have an extra roster spot due to losing reliever John Schreiber to the Yankees on waivers. They filled those three spots by adding outfielder Drew Waters, and right-handed pitchers Easton McGee and Nolan Hoffman. Waters has spent […]
Marlins series preview: An up-and-down season
The Marlins have the second-lowest payroll in baseball and the fourth-youngest lineup. Just six players on their active roster are homegrown, many acquired through trades or waiver claims. They were 26-34 through the first two months, but had a red-hot June where they won 20 of 26. Had it not been for a 12-game losing […]
