As a royals fan I hope they don’t sell the farm this year. They’re not a player or two away but it’s good to finally see some progress.

I remember a common saying around KC in 2015 “You better be up on us come the 5th cause you’re not scoring anymore runs.”

This is what happens when ownership is willing to pay for a winning team

loving the royals coverage man! that 2014/2015 video you had about them was one of my favorite vids on this channel :)

This is now like one of 5 videos about the Royals on KZfaq and I'm so happy to finally see this stuff

The only issue is that if anybody gets injured, they're screwed due to their lack of farm depth. All thanks to the horrible final half decade of Dayton Moore.

Huge royals fan here. God I wish our bullpen was better this season. I feel terrible for our starting rotation. Constantly having outings giving up 0 to 3 runs, just to get a no decision

As a Royals fan, this season has been very exciting even with the down trend they’re currently going through, just to at least some some success and some want to win from ownership. I’m excited to see the future of the team and hope they can build on what they got

Royals have slowly become one of my favorite teams to watch lol

As a Royals fan of so many years, I really enjoyed this video, harkening back to the past and the timeline of everything. Great job! I'm hoping we can hang around the wild card race and the series vs. Cleveland was encouraging, but we all know baseball is where anything can happens. Good video!

This video is perfect. I went to the game tonight and we slapped the first place Guardians which are a good team. Watch out for this team, if the D-Bags can do it last year why can't the Royals.

I’m just praying no one gets hurt. If that happens, we might be screwed

This month we’ve just been struggling offensively and sometimes pitching, that’s now back 2 back wins against the guardians and we just scored 10 runs.

Absolutely great video! I'm biased as a Royals fan, but really dig the way you lay things out and the pace at which you explain it. Here's to hoping they correct course a bit and keep outperforming expectations! Let's go Royals!

ROYALS GANG RISE UP!

I’m a Yankee fan. But I would love to see a loud KC playoff environment this year.

Let's go ROYALS

5-2 since this video

When the royals made the WS in 2014 they were 2 games above 500 before the all star game and look at how it turned out for them, this team has a great chance of making a good run.

Fantastic channel! Very entertaining and great descriptions throughout!

They just beat the 1st place Guardians in a 4 game series with the lineup looking back on track. Gonna be hard to rebuild the whole bullpen though, which they desperately need.

Nobody thought we’d be awful this year. People on MLB Network thought we’d win the division

Bout time someone talks about us.

Starting rotation is really strong and seems bullpen is getting better. Compare their bp to last year! Not even close!

A vid of my hometown ball club!!! LFG!!! KC represent!

Idk if it was your Roki Sasaki video, or when you commented on my comment, or your just dope and I love your videos but I frickin love your videos.. I love the music choices and background sounds, even the way you talk.. im done lol but thank you!

5:28 the biggest loss was the death of yordano ventura 😭

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Please don’t remind of being swept by the angles and help me focus on the lead we have over the Red Sox, lol.

Ownership wants a new stadium! That is why they built a better than 500 team. Love Salvy, Witt and the starters. The relievers aren't hot so far. Hopefully Kansas can resist temptation and make Missouri and the Royals ownership pay for a new park.

KC just put a fight on the Tribe last week. And they’re hot right now.

Is it that surprising that they are not awful? They got Will Smith. The last 3 teams that did that won the world series Seriously though he has been on the last 3 world series winning teams and that fact is kind of astounding

15:16 if you were a mariners fan who's watched a few previous Ms-royals series from the past couple of years, this game wasn't just painful, it echoed just how chaotic these two specific teams are against each other. In 2022 Seattle blew another 8 run lead when in KC, and in 2023 the Ms set a franchise record by hitting 7 homeruns in a home game where they beat KC 15-2. If these two meet each other in the playoffs, the baseball world would lose its damn mind.

Royals are what the Diamondbacks were last year

That's baseball, anything can happen

Love this team!!! Especially now (except the stadium issue). I’m continuing to trust Picollo this season!

I was at that June 7th game. Absolutely unreal to watch that unfold!

I had 0 expectations coming into this year, just hoping they wouldn't lose more games than they had last year. If they keep playing the way they have, they'll have blown me away - good enough to make the postseason and be competitive with the best, even if not beating the best yet. It's been a long wait for this. So happy to see the Royals doing well enough to have a good video about them come around! Thank you!

saying salvy is a resurging player is crazy, salvys been mashing since 2015, just nobody watches the royals

As a Royals fan you nailed a lot of our worries on the head. The main problems are consistency on offense (even Vinnie and Salvy have gone through prolonged slumps this year) and high end talent in the bullpen. One of those things is easier to fix than the other though and adding 2 of Fairbanks/Adam/Estevez/Finnegan/Harvey and even more not off the top of my head makes this team all the more dangerous. As to Wacha opting out after this year that’s fine because we have both Kris Bubic (who had legitimately turned the corner before he got hurt) and Kyle Wright coming back from Injury. Those 2 guys added to the Ragans/Lugo/Singer/Marsh Rotation mix gives 6 legit MLB SP’s to pick 5 from. That’s not even mentioning guys like Chandler Champlain whose one of the best Pitching Prospects nobody talk about or if they take Burns or Smith at 6 who could possibly be viable as early as the 2nd half next year. This combined with Gavin Cross who has his Mojo back after getting Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever last year and the improvement of quite a few position players in the Minors this year means a much brighter future for the Royals than most people think. With a Rotation that’s struggled other than Bibee, a Bullpen prime for regression, and an offense even more reliant on RISP and high leverage spots than the Royals it seems to me that the Guardians are the biggest Mirage in MLB so far this year…

If we trade away what little farm hands we have for a miniscule chance of playoffs it could set us back for more than a decade longer

Brings a tear to my eye when I see a Royals video on YT 🥲

As a royals fan we r winning the World Series (I swear I’m not delusional)

He keeps showing Lynch and it hurts each time 😂

As a royals fan, thank you for giving us the realistic coverage that we deserve. We definitely have some good players but need some work to get a 100% chance at the playoffs. I have already been subscribed but thank you for covering teams that are not typically covered in-depth by major baseball youtoubers/podcasters.

Gotta get a closer and figure out who can be consistent set up pitchers. Royals hammer bullpens, but the Royals bullpen gets hammered. Hopefully this homestand will build some confidence and they can carry that momentum to the road. If they can mortgage the future for another run, I say do it. Let's not do 2003 again where they made no moves after 93 days in 1st place and we had to wait a decade+ before we got back to the playoffs. There are no more dynasties in baseball, and certainty no chance for one in a small market. Go for the win. If they fall short and suck for years so be it. I've already done a 30 year sentence. Our last Championship is no longer a generation ago and I would rather risk it.

Am I the only person who thought the royals would be good this year? I watched them play the Phillies last year and they had a good very young offense with very very awful pitching so I thought with a year for their young players to develop and getting some pitching they could be a good to great team this year

Salvy is the soul of the team and I hope he stays til he retires. Bobby jr is awesome and will be an epic leader when El Capitan is gone. TBAPSB!!!

Another Banger

They came back to earth and are now in the range that they should be in.

Picking up Trevor Bauer would help a lot.

Royals are playoffs bound

Bats are gettin better and somehow so is Bob every night. Hunter is startin to hit, Massey solid. Isbel better, Maikel going to be better. Royals are takin at least a wild card

Where’s the farm system?

as a Mariners fan i've never been both so embarrassed and so impressed with one comeback

Not sure why anyone would have thought they'd be awful after the busy of season they had. I didn't think they be a 90 win team but it might be possible...

This team reminds me of 2014. Unlike this vid, I do think they make the wildcard at least. The main issue is that they aren't the deepest team.

i remember in the offseason i told ppl the royals would good this year

Bobby Witt jr is a stud, it’s unfortunate that I have in two of my fantasy teams but both of those have a losing record, while my one team without him is almost #1

they won the will smith sweepstakes, you knew they would

lol perfect time to drop this as the royals go 4-1 after your timeframe

This will (not) be a rebuild after 2024

That A’s, Rangers, and Marlin series made me think otherwise man 😢

They've won a world series AND REBUILT since the Tigers last made the ALCS.

We shouldn’t sell the farm or anything but it would be so disappointing if they sell. If they trade Wacha it will kill fan support. We will either be buyers or we will not do anything.

The ebbs and flows of baseball. Playing the Guardians this weekend at home and we're up 2-0 in a 4 game series. And the Twins are playing the Mariners right now, lost a game, so now we're tied. There's still a lot of baseball left and the Royals are definitely still in the WC race. Just need guys to stay healthy.

Go ROYALS!!!!!

Bibby Wott for MVP

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a video about Baltimore.

You would be a fool if you went into this season thinking the Royals weren't going to be good after the offseason they had (Will Smith winning the World Series jokes aside).

They need a good bullpen to make it to the playoffs. Their present bullpen needs help.

I❤BIBBY WOTT

Royals farm system is rsnked like #28. They gotta go all in

As a royals fan, I can't put into words how excited and terrified I am of this year's team

Man, 200 views in 20 minutes, you blew up!

Royal Blood

Haven’t started the video yet as I type this but they weren’t supposed to be awful. They spent more money this offseason than quite a few teams. Bobby Witt Jr was clearly a superstar on the cusp of breaking out last year. It seems like AL and NL central teams get overlooked by too many people. Just my thought

Comment with your FIRST favorite Royal, mine was Carlos Beltran, STUD. 🤙🏼

Go Royals!

Go Royals

They have to win the WS . The Will Smith Effect of course explains all

It's cool to see the pitching turn around so quickly after Moore got canned. You've also totally convinced me getting past the deadline without dealing Wacha away would be criminal

Bobby Witt Jr. > Julio Rodriguez

As a Royals fan (casual) I really haven't paid much attention to them since 2014 and 2015 playoffs. This year I'm actually keeping up with like every game of the regular season.

Damn, 2018 was the last time I went to a Royals game in person

What no they weren't, I had them competing for their division. I wasn't the only one with that train of thought sooo yea

Can you make an orioles video

As a Guardians fan I'm in need of a sportstorm analysis on how well they have played this season.

We aren't awful but we aren't as consistent as i'd like. Boys are still playing ball tho and this is the most fun season we've had in awhile.

At the All-Star Break, KC will be over .500 and a good weekend away from being back as a wild card (only 2.5 games out after that rough stretch). They lost 106 games last year. The fact that they are even contending is a minor miracle, but being in a position to be a buyer and not a seller is what could turn this into a whole-ass miracle season. A bullpen can get fixed and a bat can be added really quickly at the trade deadline. A lot about the front office will be learned in the next few weeks, in how aggressive or passive they are. I remember the difference adding Cueto did for the entire energy of the clubhouse. Or what acquiring Ben Zobrist did for giving guys more days off without sacrificing offense or defense. They have some tradable pieces too. This could be fun.

Here's a video idea. What happened to the following season of the past 10 world series champions? Maybe focus around why there hasn't been a repeat world series champion in a long time.

lol no it's not

2045 is right around the corner

Foolish said they will be good and I believed him

Random thought I had, What if the Orioles were less shitty and royals were, and the royals get the 1, Is adley 1 still or do u take BWJ still, cause if adleys is still one the orioles now take BWJ and probably dont take gunner in the 2nd round. As a yankees fan, bruh

I think your title is kinda of clickbait because me and many other baseball fans had them 1st or 2nd in the division

Twins fan. I said during the offseason the Royals are going to be much better than 2023 and may make a push for the division but fall short. But watch out for them in 2025 & 2026. They've been willing to spend money when other AL Central teams aren't.
