After a frustrating series against the San Diego Padres, Royals Rundown hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are back to break down what went wrong—and what’s still possible for the Kansas City Royals.
Why does this team keep falling short with runners in scoring position? Can Salvador Perez truly anchor the lineup as a DH? And how much of this is on the manager’s decisions?
As the Royals sit just below .500, Jacob and Jeremy explore the increasingly real wild card race, speculate on what moves might be brewing ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and spotlight some bright spots from the farm system—including a playoff berth for the Fireflies.
Plus, get personal updates from the hosts as they reflect on recent TV binges, their newest furry family additions, and the overall vibe around a Royals team still figuring itself out. It’s a little baseball, a little chaos, and a whole lot of Royals Rundown.
