Overlooked cog.
Bruce Dal Canton was a player who was often overlooked during his eleven-year career. The oversights started early for Dal Canton. After a stellar American Legion career, Dal Canton was overlooked by scouts and instead elected to play college ball at his hometown university, the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans. Cal U for short.
Dal Canton was a star at Cal U, leading the Vulcans to the 1962 NAIA National tournament. He recorded a 1.30 ERA that season,...

Today is Wednesday, not Tuesday.
An injury update:
X-rays were negative for fractures on Bobby Witt Jr.’s hand tonight, the #Royals say. Based on symptoms (swelling), there may be additional testing, and he’s considered day to day. But club is optimistic tonight.

Awful pitching, but the umpiring was also terrible
Normally, I like to try and keep editorializing to a minimum in recaps. Weird stuff happens in games all the time, and you can draw just about any conclusion you’d like from a given game if you’re looking for it. But...

Can you believe we’re almost halfway through the baseball season? By the time I write about another game, we will have been halfway through the year. Crazy.
Tonight, Zack Greinke and the Royals will face the very good Houston Astros.

Royals Rumblings - News for July 5, 2022
The Royals blew a lead on Sunday to drop the series opener against Houston.
“That’s one of the tougher ones of the season,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said of the loss. “(Jonathan) Heasley comes out and responds after the offense comes out and gives us some room to work. The guys were doing a great job of keeping the pressure on.
“Heasely kept getting the shutdown...

There are positives to take from this game but the disappointment is still real.
This game started out so well too.
Whit Merrifield struck out swinging on what would have been ball four but the next four Royals all reached base and before Jonathan Heasley ever took the mound, Hunter Dozier’s two-RBI single had given him a lead to work with. In the second inning, the Royals scored another pair of runs, this time on an Andrew Benintendi single. Finally, in the...

This could get painful
Today the Royals open a four-game series against the Houston Astros. The Astros, if you haven’t been paying attention, have the second-most wins in baseball. The Royals are tied with the third-fewest. On paper, this series is unlikely to favor the Royals at all. But there’s a reason they actually play the games and hopefully among those reasons will be a Royals win this afternoon.
The Royals will send...

Not only are the Astros good, but they’re playing about as well as possible right now too.
It’s kind of hard to imagine how bad this might get. The Houston Astros recently completed a stretch of nine games against the Mets and Yankees, the best team in the NL and the best in the AL (and all of baseball) and went 7-2. They do everything well with maybe their bullpen their only minor weakness and that’s something I fully expect they’ll address at the...

Finally, at long last, the Royals won on a Sunday!
It was an unusual game and an even more bizarre viewing experience on Sunday afternoon, but the Royals picked up just their third Sunday victory of the season, beating the Detroit Tigers, 7-4 at Comerica Park.
Let’s start with the broadcast. It was an “announcer-less broadcast,” or at least, that’s what it was dubbed by Peacock in the description. When people weren’t actually talking, it was a...

Uggggggh. Again?
Despite holding a lead into the ninth inning, the Royals bullpen coughed it up and allowed the Tigers to come back and win 4-3. The loss moves the Royals to 1.5 games back of Detroit for fourth place in the AL Central.
Kansas City got off to a hot start in the top of the first. With the bases loaded and one out, Hunter Dozier roped an RBI-double to make it 2-0. However, the Tigers responded with a run in the home half to cut the lead in half....

Playing in his third major league game, Pasquantino lined a home run for his first hit to help the Royals collect a 3-1 victory over the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers host the Kansas City Royals this afternoon at in a battle of two of the more disappointing teams in MLB. Each squad thought they'd improve in 2022, but both are looking for answers as we approach the trade deadline. There's still a good bet to be made.

Weekend Rumblings - News for July 2, 2022
Vinnie Pasquantino was thrilled about his first MLB home run, despite some confusion as to whether it was a home run.
“I didn’t really imagine anything, but I’m really happy with how it went, and I think I’m a little bit happier that there was some drama involved with it,” Pasquantino said. “I got tagged out by Javy Báez on second base on my first...
