Oh yeah the vibes on this team are rotten, this is not healthy behavior (And I’m kind of ambivalent about Zumwalt specifically, I don’t know if canning him moves the needle or is just shuffling chairs)

The Royals should be embarrassed. They have not won a game at home in June. Tomorrow is June 27. They have won 14 of their last 40 games, during which time they have been walked off five times. Something needs to change.

Rusty is as delightful as you would imagine. Good dude, friendly, knowledgeable as all get out.

Let’s remember some random Royals. I’ll start: Ron Mahay

ChatGPT is very limited from a creative and writing generation standpoint (if you want anything that’s actually good or authentic) but it is a really killer way of searching the web because Google just sort of sucks now

I don’t live in New York City, but it would be so gratifying to watch Mamdani win.

Maikel Garcia becoming really good is so clutch for Kansas City. He should be leading off.

By the way, the Charlotte airport is cursed. I have never had a good experience flying into or out of it.

With Bobby in a legit slump, we are seeing what last year’s team would have been without him: an upper-70s win squad. If Witt isn’t great, nothing else about the team matters. That’s not fair to Bob, but that’s how it is.

I hope to high heaven that Schoolcraft is gone by the 23rd pick but I fear the worst for KC

On one hand, I applaud Maikel Garcia’s ambivalence about Jazz Chisholm’s hotheadedness On the other hand, it might actually do the Royals good to have a bench clearing brawl situation and develop some swagger, so.

Jac’s locker is right next to Vinnie’s locker. Mario and Luigi. Er, Luigi and Waluigi, maybe?

I asked Caglianone about his nickname preference. He said that he was a simple guy, so “just Cags” So, yeah. There ya go.

Full house for Caglianone’s first press conference as an MLB player here at Kauffman Stadium. Just waiting for him to show!

I am way more tired of the Royals just not taking walks than I am with the hitting with runners in scoring position thing. Seriously - Kansas City is the only team in the whole league with a walk rate under 7%. And at 6.4%, it's closer to 6% than 7%! Take some dang walks!

On one hand, if the Royals lose they'll be at .500 which is a bummer. On the other hand, it gives me an opportunity to use the #Be500KC graphic, so. You win some you lose some.

If it makes you feel better there, Michael Massey was hitting next and even if Waters had walked we all know what would have happened.

Yeah, maybe sticking Salvador Perez’s .268 OBP in front of him is not so good.

That, right there, is why Bobby Witt Jr. is the best player in baseball. He can impact hitting, baserunning, and fielding. Shohei and Judge don’t have all three. Give me Witt every time.

I was in line for the Switch 2 preorder pickup at Best Buy for an hour and it barely moved, so I went home. Come on, guys. It’s not that hard.

If it weren't for Cags, this would comfortably be a "go ahead and turn off your TV" type of game

Good timing, I think. Royals need help now. Caglianone has demonstrated he can handle Triple-A pitching.

With runners in scoring position, the Royals rank - 29th in OBP - 30th in SLG Overall, the Royals rank - 26th in OBP - 25th in SLG This is a roster construction issue (not enough good hitters to drive in the good hitters getting on base) and sequence randomness.
