Tuesday playoff discussion: The games begin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At least the Cardinals aren’t in the playoffs either Regular season baseball may be over, but postseason baseball is here. Today, we’ve got the first action of the playoffs, with four Wild Card games gracing our televisions and streaming services. The two evening games—Yankees v Red Sox and Cubs v Padres—should be very good contests, as the average win total among all four teams is 90. This is in stark contrast to the 4pm American League game, which features the 84-win White Sox and the 81-win A
Good riddance, 2026 Royals season (opens the original)

When the 2026 Kansas City Royals season came to a close on Sunday, there were only three words bouncing around in my head: “Well, that sucked.” Objectively, this year’s Royals squad was awful. They lost 93 games and were bad in pretty much all facets of the game. Though they improved from last year at the plate, they still only ranked 22nd in the league in runs scored per game.

The hope was that this year, Vinnie would pick up where he left off and skip the “started slowly” part. That did not happen.

I am not a prospect hound. I don’t spend my time poring over scouting reports or watching tape. But that doesn’t mean that I am not interested in what’s happening on the Kansas City Royals farm. Those players playing in Omaha and Springfield and Davenport and Columbia have the potential to be future big leaguers, the potential to change the fortunes of the entire franchise. So every year I like to peruse what I have access to: Minor League stats. And when I’m looking at those stats, I keep an ey
Royals vs. Astros September 15 game discussion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This late in the season, with the Royals out of the playoffs, we have to look elsewhere than the standings to find the storylines. Fortunately, we have some. Storyline 1: Maikel Garcia is back! Can he finish the year strong with some hope that 2027 might be a fresh and healthy season? Storyline 2: Yordan Alvarez is currently ahead of Bobby Witt Jr. in the MVP race. Can Witt have a great series and can the Royals hold Alvarez down enough for Witt to make some ground? Storyline 3: Is the AL West w
