The Kansas City Royals may not be lighting up the scoreboard, but there’s plenty to break down in this week’s episode of Royals Rundown! Hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco dig into the Royals’ recent resilient performance against the Rockies, where they showed fight—and finally, some fun.
From Kris Bubic's strong start and Drew Waters stepping up, to the ongoing struggles of MJ Melendez in Omaha and Vinny Pasquantino’s cold bat, the duo dissects the latest lineup chaos and fan frustrations.
They also explore the bright future with prospects like Jack Caglianone, Peyton Wilson, and rising star Asbel Gonzalez, while comparing top minor leaguers like Caglianone vs. Kurtz and discussing the Royals' evolving pitching philosophy.
And yes, they wrap things up with crucial takes on Publix sandwiches and the surprisingly gripping new HBO Max show, The Pitt. Because baseball and sandwiches are what keep us going.
