Yosted (Stop me If You've Heard This Before)
Kansas City was majorly Yosted tonight. Mr. Glass must be going through serious withdrawals what with losing 3/4 to the Tigers, and now again tonight. At one point in this game, the Royals actually had a lead. I promise. There's proof and everything....

Royals Come back, Beat Arizona 10-5
Another good matchup aired on FSKC. Though our broadcasters were not on today, baseball was still shown, and we all should have been blessed. Kansas City came into the day looking to win their third straight spring contest. Danny Duffy, the Royals number...

MLB's New Pace-Of-Play Rules
It was announced on Friday that Major League Baseball would be making a few changes to the game for this upcoming season regarding pace-of-play. Last year, Bud Selig implemented the replay rule, and one would surmise that these changes were made in effort...

Royals Win Thriller in First Wildcard Game in 29 Years
Wow. What a game, huh? I am really at a loss for words right now. No matter what happens in the ALDS, nobody can say anything bad about this team. They fought their hearts out to be where they’re at, and they deserve it. I am proud of this team, and for...

Never Say Die
For those of you that don’t know, I’m a sophomore in high school. In high school, you have assignments and what not. I wanted to share this assignment with you for one reason: It’s about the Royals. The assignment was to write about a time where you learned...

Royals Fall Short of Come back in Opener of Important Series in Detroit
Isn't it funny how one inning can change a baseball game? Let me answer that for you: No, it's not funny at all. Because we can't just pretend that the third inning didn't even happen, we are now down to a one game lead in the American League Central....

Shields Dazzles Again, Leads Royals to 3-0 Win in Detroit
“If you’re going to win consistently in the major leagues, you’re going to need a rotation that gives you innings, competes, and helps you win. When you can acquire a pitcher like James Shields, we have to do it, because that’s what we’ve committed to...

Guthrie, Offense Leads Royals Over Sox
Believe it or not, Ned Yost's lineup of desperation worked, and Yost made me eat my words (http://royalsblue.com/?p=1704). I am completely okay with that. The offense tonight exploded for seven runs, and left the Kansas City fan base with a little bit...

Indians at Royals: Series Preview
The Royals will try and cool off the red-hot Indians as they cruise into town going 9-1 in their last 10 games. Kansas City is in the midst of a stretch where they play 21 games all against contending teams. Honestly, you could throw Seattle in there...

Royals Take Game 2, 8-4 Over Yanks
I was going to write something along the lines of "The Royals Upend Yanks to Take Game 2, 8-3." Since Michael Mariott is pretty much a AAAA pitcher, I was not able to do that. Danny Duffy was solid through 5.2 innings. It was the 6th inning that really...

Plenty of Shirt Magic to go Around, Royals Take Game 3, 2-1 Over Yanks
Ryan and his shirt were trying to go 10-0 today when James Shields pitches. Sadly, Ryan and his shirt had to work today. Luckily, Ryan was wearing his shirt under his uniform, and we still managed to escape with a win. The Yankees were getting some good...

Royals at Twins: Series Preview
That was a very dreadful home stand. The Royals escaped Kauffman Stadium by the skin of their teeth. After a 3-6 home stand, the team will look to bounce back on the road against Minnesota. Game 1: Danny Duffy (4-7, 2.69 ERA) vs. Yohan Pino (0-1, 6.30...

If You Give a Moose a Bat
Due to tonight's rainout, I assume you are all extremely bored, as am I. I assume you are all familiar with the children's book, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin." Tonight's version will have a bit of a 'Royal spin" on it. Please enjoy. *Clears throat* If...

Royals vs. White Sox Series Preview (6/13-6/15)
Coming off a 5-2 homestand, the Royals (33-32) are over .500 for the first time since May 18. Kansas City finds themselves just two games behind the suddenly ice-cold Detroit Tigers in the A.L. Central, and they’re just a single game back of the second...

KC vs DET: Series Preview
As we cruise into Detroit riding a 7-game winning streak, things are about to get a lot tougher for Kansas City. The Royals need to win at least two of these four games just to stay 1.5 games back of the Tigers for first place. As hot as they are, this...

Fine Nine: Royals Clobber Tigers Again to Claim First Place
From May 2-4, the Detroit Tigers obliterated the Kansas City Royals in a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium. The Tigers outscored the Royals 26-8 in that series. None of the contests were really close. The Royals offense looked lifeless. The pitching...

Bye Bye First, Royals Drop Game One, 7-5 to Mariners
Boo Cano. Okay, I started this off the right way. It’s no secret that James Shields is awful when it comes to first innings. Relatively speaking, it was a good inning for Shields considering he only gave up one earned run. It was the other innings that...

Royals Skid Reaches Four, Drop Game 2-1 to Mariners
Another quality start from a Royals starting pitcher, but the Kansas City offense couldn’t hold up. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Yordano Ventura was nails for 7.0 complete innings only allowing two earned runs. Ventura had six strikeouts, and...

The Los Angeles Dodgers are catching the Kansas City Royals at just the right time. Having just won 10-straight, the Royals have regressed, and are now on a streak of a different kind. Kansas City will look to get back on track with this upcoming series...

Royals Offense Absent, Fall to Dodgers 2-0
Tonight's broadcast on Fox Sports Kansas City started off with some tears from both Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler, but for good reasons. US Air Force Major, Robert Sides came home from a year long deployment, and surprised his son, Austin, who threw out...

Infante's Slam and Dominant Bullpen Propel Royals past Angels 8-6
Back off the ledge, Royals fans. At least for one night. Omar Infante hit his first career grand slam, Ned Yost pulled his starter before it was too late, and the Royals’ bullpen dominated in an 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. In...

Escobar Drives the Bus, Royals Win 6-1
A hit in his first at-bat pretty much guarantees that Eric Hosmer stays in the second spot for two more weeks, right Ned? Ned Yost continues to bat Eric Hosmer second, and I just don't get it. For one day at least, his lineup would be good enough for...

Shields Dazzles vs. Old Team; Royals Beat Rays 6-0
Just a reminder – James Shields is still really, really good. Just ask his former team. Shields broke out of his extended rough stretch by dominating his former team, leading the Royals to a 6-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. Kansas...

Salvy, Bullpen Lead Royals Over Rays, 5-4
To put it plainly: Today sucked... Until about the ninth inning. Three hours prior to todays game, the Royals announced that All Star left fielder, Alex Gordon would be scratched from todays lineup, and will undergo an MRI tomorrow in Kansas City for...
