I write about the Royals on Inside the Crown and talk about them weekly on Kauffman Corner. And I do some radio too, so that's kind of cool.
@dblesky.bsky.socialLast week I looked at what went right for the #Royals this year. Today, as promised, I looked at the big themes of what went wrong. This one was a little longer.
@dblesky.bsky.socialThe first Crown Jewels of the offseason is here and it’s always free for everyone. This week I wrote about some other team’s arb-eligible players who might interest the #Royals along with their outfield defense and my annoyance at this year’s playoffs.
@dblesky.bsky.socialSeven months of talking #Royals every week with Pat Strathman on ESPN Wichita. It's that time of the week for me to count down the minutes until it's over. Please listen.
@dblesky.bsky.socialI’ll get to what went wrong with the 2026 #Royals tomorrow or Monday, but first I looked at a few things that actually went right. It wasn’t a total loss of a season!

@dblesky.bsky.socialI did this exercise last year with the MLB playoff teams and thought it was interesting, so I did it again to see what lessons the #Royals can be taught from some stats of the teams who made it. Not sure we learned anything new, but it was still interesting!
@dblesky.bsky.socialTime for a little #Royals talk on Sports Radio 810 with Soren Petro , Kurtis Seaboldt and @kylecollier810.bsky.social Get your fix now!

@dblesky.bsky.socialJJ and Q spoke about the brutal #Royals season and hit on a bunch of topics. I tried to write all about it and give some of my takes too.
@dblesky.bsky.socialDon't forget that you can get 25% off a year of an annual subscription for a limited time! I'll have a breakdown of JJ and Q's presser up tomorrow morning and I have a ton planned for this offseason. You don't want to miss all the #Royals content!
@dblesky.bsky.socialIf you ever want to recreate the feeling of the morning after eating the Taco Party Pack from Taco Bell, try talking to Pat Strathman. I'll join him on ESPN Wichita to talk #Royals in just a minute.

@dblesky.bsky.socialI do it every year because I’m an idiot, but here I go again trying to predict the entirety of the postseason before it starts. Maybe I’ll get one series right this year. 🤞

@dblesky.bsky.socialThe final Weekend in Review is here and free for all. I broke down all three games, as always, and gave a player of the week and a look ahead to my offseason #Royals coverage on the newsletter. And hey, get 25% off a year of an annual subscription right now!
@dblesky.bsky.socialThe offense came out swinging to give the #Royals an early lead (that Seth Lugo shockingly couldn’t hold). They also finished with a flourish. A big hit and some big-time fire from the back of the bullpen.
@dblesky.bsky.socialI’ve decided to talk #Royals with Pat Strathman on ESPN Wichita today just to make sure I can still feel something. Figured it’s better than a fork in the leg, but now I’m reconsidering. Anyway, hope you’ll listen.
@dblesky.bsky.socialComing at you a day early on Sports Radio 810 to talk some #Royals with Soren Petro , Kurtis Seaboldt and @kylecollier810.bsky.social Listen in!
@dblesky.bsky.socialHe will likely compete for a spot. I would bet heavily on him not winning it. I mentioned the two solid starts in a row in the newsletter and get into why I don’t see it and never have including his numbers as a starter overall.
@dblesky.bsky.socialOn the bright side, Daniel Lynch IV is leaving no doubt about his role for the 2027 #Royals. He got rocked last night and put the team in a massive hole that a late inning explosion couldn’t pull them out of.
