Will the Royals move on from Hunter Renfroe soon? They did when Hunter Dozier was in a similar situation.
The Kansas City Royals offense looked good yesterday against the Chicago White Sox, scoring 10 runs on 17 hits. Almost all of the starters reached base once, and 7 of the 9 hitters had a multi-hit game. The only player who did not manage to get a hit was right fielder Hunter Renfroe, which is an apt illustration for how things have been going for him...
Kansas City Royals Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been great over his last five games. Over that stretch, he has 10 hits, 8 RBI, 6 XBH, 4 stolen bases, 2 home runs, and a walk-off single on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox.

So many hits
Hitting a baseball is arguably the hardest thing to do in professional sports, which is why a hit itself is perhaps the most iconic part about baseball. There’s just some inherent aesthetic beauty to a line drive that falls into the outfield grass or a ground ball that scoots past a diving infielder.
But...

One, two, three, four, five... SIX WINS IN A ROW!
Anne Rogers penned a touching Mother's Day story about Daniel Lynch, thinking back on his mother now that he’s recently become a parent:
Jolie Saunders Lynch died on Sept. 7, 2012, at 43 years old after a battle with melanoma. Lynch was a few months away from turning 16, the oldest of the three...

They have won six straight
Today, the Royals took on the White Sox in the last game of a four game series and looked to land the sweep and carry their win streak to six games. The Royals have displayed dominant pitching over the last few weeks and the bats have managed to do enough to get them wins in 14 of their last sixteen. This continued for Kansas City as they won 10-0 dominating the White Sox and will enter a series with the Red Sox sitting at...
Michael Wacha pitched seven scoreless innings and reached a personal career milestone on Wednesday when he logged his 1500th inning pitched in Kansas City’s 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Royals had one of baseball’s best rotations in 2024. Kansas City starters posted a 3.55 earned run average that trailed only the 3.38 mark of Seattle’s star-studded staff.

Royals look for the sweep against Chicago
Today, the Royals enter their final game against the White Sox, hoping to get a sweep and win their sixth straight game. Kansas City has been red hot, winning their last five games, as well as winning 14 of their last 16 games.
The offense has bounced back as Vinne Pasquantino has started to hit, and guys like Maikel Garcia, Drew Waters and Freddy Fermin have caught fire at the plate. Kansas City will...

The seven-year MLB vet has served as a starter and reliever.
The Royals have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Trevor Richards to a minor league deal and have assigned him to Triple-A Omaha, according to the Storm Chasers.
Richards is a seven-year MLB veteran with the Marlins, Rays, Brewers, Blue Jays, and Twins as both a starter and reliever with a career 4.50 ERA. Last year he appeared in 55 games with two starts for the Blue Jays and Twins, and posted a...

The Royals are on fire.
Michael Wacha has been on a roll:
After posting a 4.35 ERA in his first four starts of the year, Wacha has logged a quality start in each of his past three outings and pitched into the seventh inning in each of his last two. Wednesday was the first time he finished seven this season. He was only at 84 pitches and could have gone back out for the eighth.
“I was ready to keep going there,” Wacha said.
Kyle Wright is making strides in his...

14-2 since 4/20.
The Kansas City Royals once again had an outstanding night on the mound and got all the offense they needed from one swing as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1 tonight at Kauffman Stadium.
The first three innings took just 38 minutes to complete. Both teams had an opportunity to do damage, with Kansas City putting runners on the corners with one out in the first and Chicago doing the same with two outs in the following inning, but...

The split is secured, now let’s get the victory.
The Kansas City Royals host the not quite historically awful but still bad Chicago White Sox tonight at Kauffman Stadium in the second game of this four-game set. With wins each of the last two nights, the Royals have a shot to secure the series victory tonight.
Michael Wacha will start for Kansas City. Wacha has been solid to start the season with a 3.52 ERA/3.27 FIP in seven starts. That FIP is mostly aided...

I asked some players the question
A funny thing about Camden Yards in Baltimore: it keeps changing sizes.
The original ballpark was a home run hitters’ dream, with a short, seven-foot tall left field wall and distance of only 364 feet at the left-center field...

The Royals have the longest drought in baseball.
With the season still early, and the offense sputtering like an old car, I’ve been looking at more arcane offensive outputs. Specifically, when will another Royals player hit for the cycle?
The Royals currently have the longest no-cycle drought in Major League Baseball. The last Royals hitter to hit for the cycle was George Brett, way back on July 25, 1990, in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Since that time there...

Comebacks are fun, no matter how easy the opponent makes them.
David Lesky reacts to Monday’s series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
But in this one, they got great pitching, just enough offense and one defensive play that I may be thinking about for a long time. And if you doubt that, I can still picture a double play started by Alcides Escobar in Houston very early in the 2016 season that was incredible. So yeah, I’ll probably be thinking about the play...
The Kansas City Royals have struggled to provide much run support for veteran Michael Wacha this season. However, they've had just enough offense to continue their recent dominance of the Chicago White Sox this season.
