Gamethread CXI – Royals at Blue Jays
The Royals showed up in the first game after the deadline looking like a dominant force. An eight-inning outing from Michael Wacha, combined with four home runs,s led to one of the easier wins against what had been, until recently, one of the better teams in the AL.

Royals vs. Braves Tuesday gamethread
Seth Lugo is not a young man, but he’s a full decade younger than last night’s starter Rich Hill.

Erick Fedde makes his Braves debut after they acquired him … Read more
Gamethread XCVI – Mets at Royals
Last night’s disappointing defeat is in the rearview mirror. It’s a new day, and with Michael Lorenzen coming off his best start of the season, the Royals should have an excellent shot at bouncing back. Wait, what’s that? Lorenzen is sick? Angel Zerpa will make his first start since 2023? Oh, lovely. Yes, you heard … Read more

Royals vs Red Sox Game 40 Gamethread
Today is game 40 of the season, that threshold that Dayton Moore used to cherish. It was his “we can’t evaluate anyone until 40 games into the season” thing. I don’t know if GMJJ believes in the same thing…Melendez was already demoted. Hunter Renfroe could be next (Canha gets the start in RF tonight). In … Read more
