Royal de Lux: A Kansas City Royals podcast

The Royals haven't played any baseball lately (thank god...?) but that doesn't mean things aren't happening! They drafted a lot more players since our last discussion so we need to beat that drum again, and also some drums you've given me! What's the deal with Amir Garrett and why are the Royals trading the way they are? I have the answers!!!!!!!!! maybe. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If y...

Well it's no surprise the Royals are awful. But they still haven't shown us their final form of suckage! Could they be bad at drafting players, too?!?!?! I mean, for now I'm unimpressed but hey. That's just me. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you would like, please leave a rating and a review on your preferred platform, it would mean a lot!

The Royals have to shuffle a few injured players in and out of the roster while they get CSGO'd or something, but that matters very little in the wake of what's to come this weekend: the MLB draft! The Royals get the 8th, 44th and 66th overall picks in this draft, hoping to fortify their weak farm system with a new wave of talent. Who should the Royals look at... and who shouldn't they? New episod...

The trade deadline is technically a month or so away, but no one said the Royals can't make moves early! They take control of the market by dealing one of the biggest pieces available, Aroldis Chapman, to one of the hottest teams at the moment, the Texas Rangers. Is that good? Is the return good? Also, Salvy makes his EIGHTH (?!) All-Star appearance, Alec Marsh makes his first MLB start, and many...

The Royals face some interesting roster decisions now and in the near future as Kyle Isbel returns from the IL, Alec Marsh makes his MLB debut, and Michael Massey is fast approaching his return. Lots of guys on this roster are either struggling or tradable, but there's also a lot of unproven players like Samad Taylor who need some more time. I ponder such possibilities, as well as the notion of sp...

Dairon Blanco, Samad Taylor and Austin Cox have made strong first impressions on the Royals. That's good, right? Meanwhile some guys are officially entering the YIKES WATCH which is a cringe title I came up with for "guys who have been taking a little too long to figure it out." Check me out on Royals Rundown! https://www.royalsreview.com/2023/6/19/23765569/royals-rundown-hang-the-banner-the-royal...

Unfortunately, the Royals SUCK! And it doesn't look like it's getting any better either. Let's actually make it worse by trading away players, because it can't get any worse than 120 losses with Vinnie Pasquantino out for the season. THE DARKNESS STARES BACK. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you would like, please leave a rating and a review on your preferred platform, it would mean a lot!...

The Royals suck. Go home. Go do something fun. Don't even listen to this episode. Water your garden or something. There's nothing new to say. Not even putting in social media links or anything because this team doesn't deserve it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm pretty much out of things to say at this point. The Royals are dive bombing towards a 116-loss season or something stupid like that, and as much as I want to believe in the talent of this roster, there have been no signs of them being capable of digging themselves out of that fate. The Royals continue to play terribly and lose terribly; when we say "it can't get any worse" it has felt like a t...

BREAKING: The Royals suck. But there are many ways and reasons for a team to suck. Where does all of this suckage come from? Will it ever end?! That's me with the Mushoku Tensei series. If you know what that is I feel very sorry for you. Do not talk to me about it. I don't have anything else to write in this description so I'm just filling it out with useless nonsense. Do the Kansas City Royals co...

In a season where we literally do not know who's pitching for the Royals on most given days, a haphazardly built rotation seems to emerge and also has the potential to create pseudo perfect games. These are things that make a lot of sense!! Drew Waters and Daniel Lynch are back from the dead while others already here show a little more life as time goes on. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If...

The Royals are bad and will seemingly continue to be bad no matter how much we wish for the pain and suffering to end. Such is life. This season feels more like the mistakes of the past coming to haunt us in the present, so what can be done to prevent our ghosts from devouring us in the future? Did anything I just wrote make any sense at all even?? Also Drew Waters is back that's cool ig New episo...

The Royals have made a lot of mistakes leading up to the 2023 season where they reside as one of the worst teams in baseball yet again. One of the bigger mistakes was signing a questionably good player to a guaranteed 4-year deal worth $25 million. Which, for all intents and purposes isn't a LOT of money for MLB standards, but it still has had massive consequences to the Kansas City Royals. But to...

The Royals continue to disappoint me and make me look even stupider than normal so maybe I should talk about some other things besides my shiny Fennekin collection in Pokemon GO. The Royals have opened discussions with a neighboring county with the aspirations of building a stadium in a more homely environment similar to Wrigley Field. This is much different than the originally proposed downtown s...

Have you ever heard of a team suck and still win? If you don't enjoy that, you don't enjoy Royals baseball. I for one find it fascinating, so I talk about how the Royals finally made friends with a team as bad as them even though they really shouldn't be lol. Also, the Royals have pitchers. But do they REALLY???? When will my eternal suffering of bad pitching end? And what happens to some hitters...

Every fifth day I have to go on the same rant about how Jordan Lyles is necessary for this team even though he's bad. It's almost like the Royals have made a lot of bad decisions over the past decade plus that have led to them needing Jordan Lyles to fill out their lineup!! WOWWWWWWWWWW!! Also it's Mother's Day. Happy birthday to your Mom. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you would like, p...

The Royals offense is on FIRE!!! And that means, maybe, just maybe, the Royals can eventually convince some players to come play for them... like Vinnie Pasquantino! Let's talk about what it might take in order to sign good 'ol Vinnie P. to a long-term deal to stay in Kansas City, as well as other cool things the Royals have done lately. Wow, an episode with no complaints, how about that!!! New ep...

WHY DID THE ROYALS OPTION AUSTIN COX FOR ANOTHER GUY THEY ALSO OPTIONED!! WHY ARE OUR PITCHERS ONLY GETTING GOOD AT THE EXPENSE OF EXTREME BODILY HARM!! WHY HAVEN'T THINGS BEEN GOOD SINCE LORENZO CAIN LEFT!! WHY DO ANNOUNCERS KEEP USING SLURS ON OUR FIELD!! WHY IS BRADY SINGER BAD AT THROWING BASEBALLS!! WHAT WAS IN THAT SMOOTHIE THIS FRIENDLY GUATEMALAN GENTLEMAN GAVE ME THIS MORNING!! WHY ARE YO...

The Royals have been super-ultra-mega bad this season, but that might finally change for the better. Over the last six games, the offense has finally shown progress even at the expense of pitchers like Jordan Lyles (who?) and Ryan Yarbrough (what?); meanwhile the #1 anime antagonist of 2023, the schedule, is finally showing us mercy by letting us play bad teams like the St. Louis Cardinals and the...

The Royals are a mess and so am I. I'm just trying to be cool, but it's hard to do so when everyone around you fails you. All I have ever asked for was a Tucker Bradley call-up, and this is what I'm left with? More Hunter Dozier and Michael Massey? The Royals have the worst offense in baseball but for some reason do nothing to fix it, as if it's not an issue to them. Well, it is to ME, some guy on...

SOMEONE decided that a home run is a home run when you hit a wall. WHY!!!! That's my main source of ire because the Royals had a surprisingly not garbage weekend of baseball. I mean, they still lost more games than they won, but they actually scored as many runs as they gave up. Praise be unto the pythagorean gods. In fact, the Royals WON a game! How cool is that?! They also decided to ignore all...

DID YOU KNOW? The Royals are off to a bad start. Why didn't you guys tell me this was a bad team!? Sheesh, now I have to figure out why things have gone so terribly wrong. My journey has taken me into the southern deserts of Arizona, where something called a "snek" is playing really good baseball for some reason. What's this team doing that the Royals should have? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL...

You may think the Royals are a bad baseball team. And that's fine. I think Gerrit Cole is not a very good pitcher. And he has a sub-1 ERA. Sometimes you just think things. You ever just think about stuff? That's what I do on the Royal de Lux Podcast. I just say stuff because that's cool. I'm just being cool. The Royals don't bother me. They can't hurt me. I'm just being cool. This is not a defense...

Yea I'm that sicko that loses baseball games and thinks "wow! not bad!" That's pretty much what I do in today's episode, where I look at the 3-game series against the Texas Rangers and pull out some good things that happened despite the losses. ...Okay, it wasn't all good, in fact I talk about somethings that I very much DIDN'T like, because all's fair in love and baseball. Someone probably said t...
