Royals lose 15-1. We need to have a talk. Share this story Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports From 2000-2020, the Royals lost at least nine games in a row 14 times. That, in and of itself, is a decent accomplishment. However, only three times did a team have at least two losing streaks of at least nine games or more, in 2005, 2006, and 2018. Today, the 2021 Royals joined those teams thanks to a loss to the Red Sox. The 15-1 loss completed the four-game sweep for Boston and was the 2nd consecutive...

Red Sox 7, RoyaLLLLLLLs 6 Share this story Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports I’m not even really sure to begin with this one. The Royals had three different leads and still lost. Mike Matheny’s genius idea of moving the terrible Jorge Soler up to the No. 2 spot in the lineup blew up in his face. Brad Keller made his case for the worst pitcher in baseball. Let’s get to it. Whit Merrifield, who I continue to believe should have the green light to hit everybody else in the clubhouse with a bat t...

The first game at Globe Life Field for the Royals was not a good one.

They’re either the best average team or the worst average team and there is no in between.

The hold on vague contention isn’t exactly firm, but they’re there for now.

share-square-558065 As the Royals battled their way through more than a week of losses, and as questions filtered in about their offense and pitching and defense, the coaching staff’s message has been consistent: Stay the course. Things will turn around. That’s what made Tuesday’s 8-7 walk-off loss to the Tigers at Comerica Park -- the Royals’ ninth defeat in a row -- that much more difficult. Down seven runs entering the eighth inning, Jorge Soler brought the Royals within ...

share-square-3152420 KANSAS CITY -- In the week leading up to Mother’s Day on Sunday, Royals manager Mike Matheny got to welcome his mom to The K for the first time since he became manager. Since fans weren’t allowed in the stands in 2020, Matheny’s parents, Jerry and Judy, finally drove from Columbus, Ohio, and got to see their son in a Royals uniform and perched on the top step of the home dugout on Wednesday. They also got to see him get ejected, along with pitching coach Cal Eldred, f...

Daniel Lynch bombs, Royals lose 9-1 Share this story Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/Getty Images Daniel Lynch did not look like a top pitching prospect, tonight. The promise he showed by gutting through four and two-thirds innings against Cleveland had all but vanished. The heat on his fastball seemed diminished and all of his pitches were missing up where the White Sox hitters could demolish them. The slider didn’t have nearly the same bite. The changeup appeared to simply float a...
