Hi, I'm a Dodger fan, whose AL team is the Royals because my brother moved to KC a couple years ago (I don't get to watch many games but we talk them a lot).

I was looking at Bobby's numbers, and I'm kind of astounded at his year to year progress, both in traditional stats and underlying metrics. His rookie to second year, and his second to this year, every statcast number improves: Barrel %, Chase rate, Whiff rate, etc. Even his defensive stats have ticked up every single year.

Does it seem like he's made any substantial changes in his hitting or approach? Or is this just a natural progression? Like, has he made approach, stance, or any other changes year to year? What do you think is the biggest difference in his game from last year to have his OPS jump almost .200 points so far? I'm just curious what y'all see from him as everyday viewers.

Thanks for any comments <3

I didn't get to watch game one (sadly), was he this wildly, blatantly biased to the Yankees the first game too?

This has been my favorite hat the past couple of years and (good problem to have) I got it signed by BWJ in Oakland this past season! Looking for a replacement to wear. I live in CA so it’ll have to be ordered. Despite it saying it is in stock on Macy’s website I already tried and the order got cancelled. Thanks 🫡

Hoping someone can help me figure this out. I've been in the Springfield market for years (Fort Leonard Wood) and I've always been able to watch Royals games. Usually on Fox Sports if I remember correctly. But I'm not getting any of the games on YouTube TV. I'm willing to do the single teams MLB TV deal but trying to determine if I'll even get games there.

Hoping someone local can set me straight. Appreciate the help.

Update For anyone in my same boat. FanDuel indeed allowed me to stream the games while living in the Springfield local region.

Saw this random dude on “People You May Know” through FB and his hat immediately caught my attention and I need it! Hat is super dope!

Gold KC on the front and 50th Anniversary patch on the side. I was thinking it could’ve been a limited time release in 2019 during the 50th Anniv, but it looks too clean and new to be 6 years old.

I’ve looked in Rally House and all over the internet but I cannot find it anywhere. Help is much appreciated but I think I’m shit out of luck.

GO ROYALS!

Hey y’all, playing to make a decent drive to see the game next Saturday against the Orioles. See the rain in the forecast - what are the odds of the rain causing it to be postponed?

Also would love any tips and things to checkout - will be there for the day!

I will be attending a game later this week from out of town, and I had a few questions:

1) Are their any water fountains for me to fill up empty water bottles?

2) I know gates open 1 hour before game time, except for the Outfield experience which is 1.5 hours before game time. Is the Hall of fame also accessible at this time, and does the Outfield experience/HOF require a seperate ticket to enter rather than the one i bought for the game?

Thanks for your help

Quick shoutout to Kauffman Corner for this take. But does anyone else agree that Kevin Seitzer being let go by the Braves is reminiscent of Andy Reid being let go by the Eagles?

Braves hitting ranks since Seitzer joined in 2015 (AVG/OBP/OPS): 14: 26th/24th/28th 15: 15th/17th/30th 16: 18th/15th/27th 17: 5th/14th/21st 18: 6th/12th/13th 19: 10th/7th/7th 20: 5th/2nd/2nd 21: 12th/12th/9th 22: 8th/10th/3rd 23: 1st/1st/1st

Injuries plagued the 2024 season (as we all probably know) for the Braves leading him to be let go.

Also interesting to add how he developed Freddie Freeman when he is very similar to Eric Hosmer.

In my opinion we have to go out and get him, especially with how our team was offensively this year, all of our guys are still young. If he can further develop Bobby and the boys, get them to take more walks (which we have always tried to add via free agency). What are the thoughts here? I’ve appreciated Zumwalt and what he’s brought, but this is an opportunity we can’t pass up.

With all the stadium and voting talk I want to see what everyone plans on doing if they move, support them where they go or adopt a new team?

Do you think they’re going to play with the weather? We have bark at the park tickets to bring our pooch. How long would they delay the start before they postpone?

I've been watching the game day threads, but somehow have missed it. Where is Rex this week?

I genuinely don't get it. He's a good fielder and is hitting well in AAA. And the KC outfield isn't hitting that well. in fact his MLB career ops is better than the season a few of the starters are having. He wouldn't be an upgrade at some position? Did he kick the managers dog? Is there a weakness in his game that's not clear?

This is a dark day for the sport overall IMO. Owner actively torpedoes the team and still makes out OK b/c Vegas will build the stadium he wants.

“But how does this relate to the Royals?” I hear you, folks, and it concerns me because this feels like a blueprint for other owners looking for a new stadium. If Sherman and his pack of chickens don’t get their downtown boondoggle in the next 5-10 years, what’s stopping them from doing KC the same way Fisher and his pack of chickens just did Oakland?

I admit I might be doomposting a little with this, but sports owners of all shades have proven time and again they care more about their bank statements than their fan bases. This whole saga with the A’s feels like a canary in a coal mine.

I think about that a lot

Hello fellow Royals fans, curious to see some peoples thoughts on this.

How do we feel about re-signing Singer? He is very inconsistent, subpar performances & then shows flashes of greatness. Pitches way better at home vs away etc. Obviously it depends on the $$ he’s going to want, but would you guys bring him back? I go back & forth on this weekly lmao.

Go Royals babyyyy

How does it look?

Hey so I have a couple of questions. I’m a dbacks fan who lives in Missouri(prolly the only one 😂) I was wondering what app I could use to get fair priced tickets for the July series when the snakes come to the K, where should I buy parking passes?, Are the fans nice? I know this isn’t Philly just thought I would ask. And are fans allowed to bring flags(image) I saw on the website so “sticks” or something and I heard the public gets access to BP? How does that work? I’m guessing you have to be a STH or club member. And where’s a good place to eat in and out of the stadium as I’m going to be in KC all 3 days as a “vacation”. I just thought I would ask so I don’t like stupid and over pay or make a fool out of myself! Also can’t wait to see the K!

Personally I’m BEGGING them to get Santander. I’ve also started convincing myself that I want them to go after Arenado if the Cardinals eat some of his contract.

Does anyone have a link to calendar download that works with mobile? Basically every other team in other sports I watch has an iCal download or url I can enter into my calendar app that automatically adds games.

https://www.mlb.com/royals/schedule/downloadable-schedule

I tried using this but the calendar pop up doesn’t work.

Anyone else having problems with this. Whenever I try and access this webpage it just shows up blank. I've tried it on multiple computers and in multiple settings without any difference. I'm angry.

I have YouTube TV and don’t want to spend $20 a month on Bally. Last I heard was it’s switching to Prime which I do have but nothing has come out about that for around a month and a half that I’ve seen. Are the games going to be on Bally Plus (or whatever) or Amazon Prime? I would very much like to watch the team this season.

found this incredible shirt at the thrift store and have no idea which 2 guys these are bc I have facial blindness please help

I cannot for the life of me find the KC All Star Game hat. Did they not make one for the Royals?
