Royals Employees Were The Ones Playing Mario Kart On The Kauffman Stadium Jumbotron
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts in this weekend’s playoff matchup, so Kansas City’s KCTV5 sent a helicopter out to get aerial shots of the city’s football stadium before the game.

Dayton Moore Is Being An Idiot
The tell is how little Dayton Moore is trying. The Royals’ general manager could point to the statistics that show Luke Heimlich is highly unlikely to reoffend. He could go into detail about how sex-offender registries and similar banishments don’t work, especially for juvenile offenders. He could e...

Royals Assault Defenseless Orioles Pitcher With Barrage Of First-Inning Dongs
Orioles pitcher Dylan Bundy had a very short Tuesday night start against the Royals, but his outing was anything but merciful.

Ned Yost, Like The Rest Of Us, Was Shocked To Learn His Team Hasn't Lost 20 Games Yet
Ned Yost, brick-breaker and bee-tamer, can’t take things one game at a time because he isn’t sure how many games his team has played. Coasting on organizational goodwill from the Royals’ 2015 World Series win, he’s pretty firmly in autopilot, to the point where finding out they’re 5-17 instead of th...

Mike Moustakas Will Return To The Royals For Less Than Half Of The Qualifying Offer Value
With three weeks until opening day, third baseman Mike Moustakas is reportedly finally signing a deal to stay in Kansas City.

God Bless Alcides Escobar, The Actual Replacement-Level Player<em></em>
Back in the olden days of baseball writers and fans arguing about wins above replacement—say, five or 10 years ago—there was this claim that the concept of the replacement-level player was completely made-up, something too squishy to define concretely. What are you measuring from? said the wised-up ...
Ned Yost Fell Out Of A Tree
Here’s some news about Royals manager Ned Yost:...
Cleveland Walks Off For 22nd Straight Win, Will Never Lose Again
Like they have in every game for more than three weeks now, Cleveland won tonight. With an extra-innings walk-off victory, they became the first team to win 22 consecutive games in more than a century. ...
Alex Gordon Turns Mikie Mahtook's Redemption Dinger Into A Spectacular Out
Poor Mikie Mahtook. Yesterday he swatted a loose ball over the outfield wall, creating one of the oddest, most hilarious dingers you will ever see. Today his own dinger, inches away from glory, was ripped back into the field of play by Royals outfielder Alex Gordon:...

Many People Are Saying Lorenzo Cain's Elegant 302-Foot Dinger Is The Greatest
One thing Lorenzo Cain understands that big mashing goons like Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper still haven’t mastered with all their grotesque and gratuitous moonshots is the precision and understated majesty of the, umm, short ball:...
The Royals Are Suddenly Unstoppable
Eric Hosmer was an invincible monster on Wednesday night. In a 16-2 drubbing of the failing Detroit Tigers, Hosmer provided five runs, five hits, and six RBI, most of which came from a demoralizing seventh-inning grand slam that stretched the lead out to 13-1. He even stole a base for only the fifth...
The Rangers Lost A Game Because Of The Punk-Ass Sun
With the scored tied at three in the bottom of the ninth, Rangers reliever Jason Grilli was in a bases-loaded, two-out jam. If he could get Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain out, the Rangers would escape to extra innings and keep their hopes at winning the game alive. Grilli got Cain to hit a catchable...
Another Kevin Kiermaier Misplay Leads To Another Little League Home Run
Last year, Kevin Kiermaier hit .246 with 12 homers—nothing stellar—but he won a Gold Glove for his second consecutive season and anchored the Tampa Bay Rays’ outfield defense. He has quite a hole to dig himself out of if he wants to repeat for 2017....
