In this brutally honest episode of Royals Rundown, Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down another tough week for the Kansas City Royals. After getting swept (again) at home, the guys dive into the team's ongoing offensive struggles and question whether it’s finally time for coaching changes.
They dissect the Royals’ troubling batting stats, discuss how empty seats at Kauffman Stadium reflect fan frustration, and debate whether internal player development is truly paying off. With trade talks heating up and a tough Dodgers series on deck, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can the Royals find a spark before it's too late?
If you’re looking for insight, tough love, and a little glimmer of hope—we’ve got you covered.
