I have no insight. I have no smart words. The Royals are literally too good. I can't believe it's happening and because it is I don't know how to process it.

Inspired by a certain swiping Pokemon channel, I look at how freaking amazing the Royals rotation has been to begin this season. They've absolutely crushed the competition around them, including a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, a team that thought it would be cool to be the 2019 Royals for some reason. Also, rumors of Hunter Renfroe's de…

I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE STADIUM BUT I HAVE TO ANYWAY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA whatever. It is what it is. Everything is going to be fine. And I dunno, worst case scenario, we still have some amazing pitching right now. It turns out we CAN have nice things sometimes.

After dropping the first two games of the season, the Royals pull off a MASSIVE W to silence the haters. We're back, baby, and I never doubted them for a second. Non-overreactor over here, look at me. GIVE ME ATTENTION!! Follow the podcast for more baseball, especially Royals-related content @royaldeluxpod and/or follow me on Twitter for other gene…

It turns out the Royals might not be the best baseball team around. Well, shucks. There go my fall plans. The Royals drop the first game of the season to the Minnesota Twins--wait, didn't I write this summary last year? We're doing this again? Well, at least Maikel Garcia is hitting baseballs really hard and Cole Ragans might be him. Follow the pod…

You hear that? That's the sound of baseball coming back, baby. The next episode will be talking about the first Royals game of the season, but before we get into that we have to talk about who we're even bringing into Opening Day.

Alec Marsh has won the final rotation spot as Jordan Lyles shifts to the bullpen. Angel Zerpa wins a bullpen spot as Daniel Lynch IV shifts to Omaha. Nelson Velazquez somehow wins an outfield spot which might push someone important off the roster. Interesting decisions are being made as the regular season is just a week away! Follow the podcast for…

Things are happening in Spring Training! Including the Royals winning baseball games! What a delight! Dudes like Alec Marsh and Gavin Cross are turning heads with their improvements and fixtures this season, making the Royals' future just a little brighter. Plus, some free agents are still out there and, I dunno, maybe something crazy will happen a…

Who's going to play for the Royals on March 28? YOUR MOM LOL. Nah but it could be anyone. . . . . . Actually, no it couldn't, it's going to be specific guys for specific reasons, because that's how bias works. Let's bias our way through a BS roster projection! New episodes every Monday and Friday!

Spring is here again! I don't care that it was like 30 degrees a week ago! IT'S SPRING!! BASEBALL IS BEING PLAYED!!!! And the Royals are still doing things to improve their roster (I hope)!!! And their jerseys???? And where they play ... . .. . . . . maybe not that one but, fingers crossed. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you would like, p…

The Royals were one of three Major League Baseball teams to have never signed a 9-year deal before, until February 5th, 2024 when Bobby Witt Jr. signed an 11-year, $288.7 million contract to stay in Kansas City. Everything we've asked for has happened. This is special. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you would like, please leave a rating a…

Is it possible for the Royals to have signed TOO MANY guys? Who would've thought that the good 'ol Kansas City Royals would be trying to make more Major League signings than anybody else. This may or may not present a problem with the roster, as Adam Frazier could take up a space that could also be filled by several other cheaper, younger and possi…

RIVETING OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION! SUCH AS: "will they trade mj melendez or not". FASCINATING!! The Royals finalize some 40-man roster cuts and I discuss some potential free agents that are still out there; most notably Zack Greinke. https://www.fansfirstsports.com/royal-de-lux/the-royals-won-the-drafts-worst-case-scenario/ New episodes every Monday a…

Yeah, YOU! I'm looking at YOU, proud baseball team. THE ROYALS HAVE OUTSPENT YOU!!! In a matter of days, the Royals have committed more than $100M to free agent signings, giving them a much better outlook for the immediate future. Could this terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad baseball team see a dramatic turnaround next year? https://www.fansfir…

The Royals did some stuff at some meeting or something, and now they lose four spots in the draft. Great! They sign some interesting pitchers, talk about maybe signing other interesting pitchers, but honestly what more do they need to do when they just acquired the key to winning the World Series next year? Get ready for the comeback of the ages! h…

I'm sure out of the many millions of people who totally listen to this podcast, there's a Royals employee who has the power to influence the rest of the team. So listen to me carefully: S I G N P I T C H E R S . I don't know who this Harrett Gampson fellow is but I don't want him thanks. The Winter Meetings are starting, so why don't you MEET with …

IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Discuss the downtown stadium some more. But before that, the Royals made some trades and got pitchers! Good ones!! Maybe!!! I know, I can hardly believe it, either. And all it took was Jackson Kowar. I'm sure there will be zero repercussions to this at all and I won't have to hear any silly comments about this man ever ag…

I did NOT slack off over the last couple weeks! I was VERY BUSY writing AIRTIGHT CASES on how the Royals can totally sign Aaron Nola and acquire Jesus Luzardo. Read my pieces below! I promise they're not as completely stupid as I made them sound!! I have very good opinions on pitching, which is why Justin Steele is my Cy Young winner of choice!! ht…

The Diamondbacks are in the World Series, which means that I was right about everything somehow. I've complimented this team a lot in the past and said the Royals could stand to be a lot more like them, and the case just makes itself more and more. Also, I look at the coaches and managers of the 2023 Royals and see how they did! (Hint: Not well!) A…

F's in chat for this one, because we're talking about basically every dude who threw a baseball over a pitching mound at a Kansas City Royals game. Yeah, it's not looking good, fam.

A lot of things went wrong in the 2023 season, so let's do what's always most fun: POINT FINGERS!!!! ...Okay, not actually doing that, but sort-of. In a non-mean-spirited way, I judge each position player on the Kansas City Royals this season and give them some arbitrary grade based on how well or not well they played. NOTHING PERSONAL!!! I LOVE EV…

It's over. The 2023 Kansas City Royals can't hurt us anymore. No more. The season is over, and maybe the career of Zack Greinke's is too. There's a lot to unpack with that, actually. Why is Derek Jeter the most overrated player ever? That's the kind of originality you can expect from Esteemed Royals Podcaster Michael "Lux" Farina. Anyway, I'm endin…

The Royals do exactly what they were absolutely NOT supposed to do: lose every game they played. If you don't like that, you don't like Royals baseball! It turns out the only thing that can stop Cole Ragans is a guy who, um, cannot pitch. At all. Also, Zack Greinke is really old so let's talk about that. New episodes every Monday and Friday! If you…

We are so back. The Royals are now the coolest team that is friends with everybody, because they have conquered the Houston Astros. That's right, THOSE Astros, thus jeopardizing their playoff aspirations. You. Love. To. See. It. Also I'm back hi New episodes every Monday and Friday!
