Alec Marsh did some things over the extended break and offseason to make him a better pitcher. I want to check those out first hand but have been unable to get to a game in which he has started so far this season, so I’m using the film room. Marsh won the first ever Double-A…

MLB has revamped the minor league structure and each team is allowed four affiliates. The Royals previously had affiliates in Wilmington, Lexington, Burlington, and Idaho Falls. The Royals…

With starter Matt Harvey struggling in the second inning, Hernandez got loose. He was in two batters later with…
I think we were all disappointed in the 2020 trade deadline. The Royals only made two trades. They had assets to trade that would help teams pursuing postseason dreams and we were all excited to see what new prospects this would bring us. Now, in no way are we disappointed in Lucius Fox, Edward Olivares,…

Royals speedster Nick Heath was called up a few days ago but didn’t get into a game until today. Tonight, against the Tigers in Detroit, manager Mike Matheny called Heath’s number 0 to get in the game. Heath entered into a 5-3 game after Jorge Soler singled and advanced to second on an error in…
My apologies to Griffin for not being able to post this yesterday when he actually debuted. Griffin came into the Royals game down 5-4 to start the third inning in Detroit. The first batter he faced was Tiger CJ Cron. The first pitch Griffin threw registered at 92.9 mph and was swung on and missed. …
As most of you know, we have a partial season ticket plan to the Northwest Arkansas Naturals games. I try to go as often as I can but coaching in the spring makes it tough so I usually don’t get to go until summer. That’s the only reason we don’t have a full season package. …
The Royals first selection from the 2018 MLB Draft, Brady Singer, was called up to start the game in Cleveland on Saturday. Singer was the first of five pitchers the Royals selected with their first five selections that year. He is the third player from the 2018 MLB Draft class to make his MLB debut…
