@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialThe 2026 season is officially in the books. Thank you for tuning it! Grateful.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialGame 162! Thanks for hanging out with us on the radio all season long. One more in 2026 with Hall of Famer Denny Matthews, Steve Stewart, & our amazing producer/engineer Eric Guthrie. Join us on 610AM in Kansas City & across the Royals Baseball Network!
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialWhat a season for Michael Wacha. 200.2 innings to lead the American League with a 3.32 ERA. And fittingly, he rounds out his year with a Quality Start (6.1 IP / 2 ER), his AL-best 21st.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialStill soaking in how special it was last night to celebrate Denny Matthews & his 8,000th game. Thank you, Kansas City. 📸: Jason Hanna
@royals.comReposted by @jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialCountless stories, countless laughs, countless memories. Congratulations, Denny!
@royals.comReposted by @jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialForever our voice. Congratulations to Denny Matthews on his 8,000th game called!
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.social8,000 broadcasts… and counting. Denny’s headset from tonight’s game has been authenticated.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialConnecting generations, that’s what Denny Matthews does. Here he is with 20-year-old LHP David Shields, this year’s Paul Splittorff Pitcher of the Year.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialOpening Day, 1969. Royals vs. Twins. Listen to Denny Matthews—making his Major League debut at 26 years old—welcome everyone to Municipal Stadium for the first game in Kansas City Royals history. And the picture? Yeah, iconic.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialTonight. Career game No. *8000* for our Hall of Famer, Denny Matthews. He is the constant. Hope you’ll join us across the Royals Baseball Network as we celebrate this incredible milestone + the many more to come. Our radio coverage begins at 6:00p CT.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialHis two 100+ mph pitches (100.1, 100.6) in the 8th inning were his first triple-digit pitches since Oct. 5, 2024 in Game 1 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialLucas Erceg averaged 100.3 mph on his sinker & 99.0 mph on his four-seam fastball in his perfect 8th inning to protect a one-run lead. His 100.6 mph sinker to induce a groundout from Randal Grichuk was tied for the fastest pitch of his career.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialAutumn at The K.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialThat’s a lot! And still less than 20% of the number of Royals games Denny has done 🤯
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialIncluding the two games in 2022 when I filled in, I’m at 625 Royals games. If you include the postseason, 631. So, ~7.8% of Denny’s total.
@jakeeisenberg.bsky.socialJust a staggering number. And what an honor to ride shotgun for even a fraction of them. So excited to celebrate No. 8,000 on Friday with many more to come!
