The Royals are ... for sale?!? We weren't sure this kind of news would ever come, but we're excited to talk about it this week: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18957861

The Royals have come out of the All Star Break swinging, making two trades and calling up a long-awaited minor leaguer. And they've won 4 of 5 as well (3 of 4 as of this recording). Should be a fun summer. https://www.spreaker.com//11/kcbbv-bp138-shaking-up-summer

The newest episode: This week, we're talking about Nicky Lopez, a very fun prospect to talk about. https://www.spreaker.com/us/11116424/kcbbv-bp132-so-it-goes

NEW EPISODE: The Royals entered Wednesday on pace to set a new team record for slugging percentage, home runs, triples (oh, and strikeouts), and a top five season in walk percentage just five years after winning a pennant with the fewest walks and homers in the AL. This shift mirrors a lot of trends across all of baseball, but it also mirrors Royals teams from 20 years ago - teams that had lots of talent on offense, but the pitching ... well, they weren't always the most effective.

This week's episode: Danny Duffy is coming back, Hunter Dozier and Alex Gordon are raking...and some members of the bullpen are still struggling. It's been a mixed bag. Who's been surprising? Who's earning trust? NOTE: In the last 10 minutes or so, we get going talking about Game of Thrones and the MCU, so *SPOILER ALERT* - if you aren't up to date and don't want to be spoiled about plot points in those two media products, you can jump out once we start down that path. We understand...

Our newest episode is up, and hopefully by next week's the Royals will win a game... https://www.spreaker.com//1111/kcbbv-bp128-going-streaking
