The Kansas City Royals are in a weird spot—competitive but frustrating, with fans wondering when the bats will finally wake up. In this episode of Royals Rundown, Jacob Milham and Jeremy "Hokius" Greco break down the Royals' season so far, focusing on Kris Bubic’s solid pitching, Jack Caglianone’s monster minor league numbers, and the team’s struggles scoring runs.
They discuss the urgency for offensive help, possible trade options, and why Caglianone’s promotion could be the spark the Royals desperately need. Plus, they explore key performances from Maikel Garcia, Michael Lorenzen, Cole Ragans, and Noah Cameron, and talk about what the upcoming road trip means for the team.
Expect candid takes on the Royals’ missed opportunities and some stats that make fans wince. Whether you’re cautiously optimistic or just riding the wave of Royals fandom, this episode has something for you!
