Drop the Ball

This week, we chat the Royals taking the first couple games of the series from Detroit, while Bobby Witt Jr. wore the superman cape with an inside the park home run to electrify the city. They weren't able to take the finale to really step on the throat though, and Matt discusses how this team hasn't shown they can do that when called upon. Michael Wacha has been incredible amongst an up a...

The Royals have strung a few wins together here to get back in the mix, but there was room for them to capitalize even more.

This week, we see how the tables turned in the 2026 NFL draft.

This week on Drop the Ball we discuss how good can the good be on the Royals?
