May was a tough month. So tough. Grueling. But May is over, and all that was left was to talk about the aftermath and pick up the pieces. We talked about the changes to the coaching staff and what trading Jack Maloof for George Brett means for the team going forward and if it means anything other than window dressing and a PR cover. We also discussed Yordano Ventura's promotion, Danny Duffy's rehab starts, and other moves recently. That led to a discussion about whether fans are setting themselves up for disappointment about Duffy whenever he returns. The concern came from Duffy's activity in social media, his previous work in the big leagues, and the expectation that he's going to be back to form right away. Then we covered the weird rain delay game, delved into the PED controversy, and hoped for better days for the Royals.]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-06-07T21_19_30-07_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-06-07T21_19_30-07_00 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 04:19:30 GMT 2013-06-08 2013-06-08 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com a,about,activity,aftermath,all,also,and,anything,are,away.,back,be,better,big,brett,but,came,changes,coaching,concern,controversy,cover.,covered,danny,days,delay,delved,disappointment,discussed,discussion,dressing,duffy,duffy's,expectation,fans,for,form,f 4269 no 1 May was a tough month.

Things are not going well for the Royals. They're stuck in a 4-16 nosedive that has fans angry, players pressing, and seats heating up. So what better way to get the anger out than to talk about it!? Troy and Michael fired up the podcast machine to talk about what's gone wrong, what's potentially going to happen next, and what we'd do. We discussed potential demotions and other moves, potential firings, and considered alternatives to current front office personnel. More specifically, we talked about Chris Getz at leadoff, Alex Gordon batting third, Johnny Giavotella taking balls at third base, Danny Duffy getting rehab innings and wondered just what the heck the Royals have to do to get a win around here. Turns out, the Royals went 4-14 since our last podcast recording. Maybe this show was just what the team needed. You should check it out. ]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-05-26T20_14_03-07_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-05-26T20_14_03-07_00 Mon, 27 May 2013 03:14:03 GMT 2013-05-27 2013-05-27 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com 4-14,4-16,a,about,alex,alternatives,and,anger,angry,are,around,at,balls,base,batting,better,check,chris,considered,current,danny,demotions,discussed,do,do.,duffy,fans,fired,firings,for,front,get,getting,getz,giavotella,going,gone,gordon,happen,has,have,he 5528 no 2 Things are not going well for the Royals.

As you may have heard, Northwest Arkansas Naturals General Manager Eric Edelstein has taken a job that will land him in Reno, and he'll be leaving the Royals organization. But before he left, Troy Olsen caught up with him to talk about the move and to learn a bit more about some Double A prospects. Then we talked about the latest Royals action, including the kneejerk reactions from social media. We tried to make sense of the noise, take a deep breath, and reflect on the long slog of the baseball season. We wrapped up by picking a player from each full season minor league level to focus on.

This week on the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we discussed the young season and the Royals early success in 2013 and shared the elements that stood out to us in the first place start. Then we cycled in some great guests, starting with Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Kendrick's spirits were high following a successful Red Carpet premiere of "42", which saw a packed AMC Theater show the Jackie Robinson biopic. The event featured an collectibles auction and many Royals made appearances, as did the stars of the film, Chadwick Bozeman and Harrison Ford. We spoke about the movie, the event, and the lasting impact of sharing a story like Robinson's through film. We could talk to Bob for hours to hear all the stories, but we had to move on. We then talked with Brad Cook from OOTP Developments about the newest edition of Out of the Park Baseball and the new features of the highly-addicting baseball simulation game. We finished up by talking with Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus. He wrote an article detailing concerns about Bubba Starling and we brought him on to ask him a bit more. He had an interesting take on some of the circumstances that may hold Starling back and while it's not uplifting, it's also important information to think about in evaluating the local prospect.]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-04-15T07_52_18-07_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-04-15T07_52_18-07_00 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:52:18 GMT 2013-04-15 2013-04-15 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com 14,42,about,and,bob,brad,bubba,carpet,description:,features,jason.,new,of,ootp,premier,red,starling,talked,temporary,the,we,with 3347 no 6 This week on the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we discussed the young season and the Royals early success in 2013 and shared the elements that stood out to us in the first place start.

After a long winter, baseball is finally back, and after a week off, we're back talking about the Royals. We gave our first impressions about the first four games of the season and discussed any performances we're worried about yet (stressing that it's only four games so far). We talked about the reactions on social media, both positive and negative, and everyone agreed that there was a lot of overreaction to the Royals first two losses of the year. There's a lot more baseball to go, and it's satisfying to project how things will go, and even more so to be right about it, but there's a point where it cuts into the enjoyment of the game. Then we brought on Aaron Stilley (@Royal_Heritage) who talked about an upcoming talk he's giving at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum about Jackie Robinson and the Kansas City Monarchs. The event is April 13 at 10:30 am. Aaron can also be found at his blog: http://kcbbh.blogspot.com. We finished off with a wraparound of the Royals minor league affiliates, with some games in progress. Add this after the first sentence of the last paragraph: In the process, we talked about Bubba Starling and how likely it is that he'll pan out or if he'll start looking at other avenues if he struggles this year or down the line.

The regular season can't get here soon enough. While the Royals cruise through spring training, we covered a few of the remaining battles while also discussing the final second base decision to keep Chris Getz over Johnny Giavotella. We also talked a bit goings-on in Omaha and brought up the idea of a platoon (or replacement) for Jeff Francoeur and tossed out an idea of trading for David DeJesus. Most of our time this week, however, was spent talking with Curt Nelson, director of the Royals Hall of Fame. We talked about his vision for the exhibits and artifacts within the Hall of Fame and what he tries to present to those who visit the stadium and want to dive into the history of the franchise. Of course, we also had to bring up the question of "How does Emil Brown end up eligible for the Royals Hall of Fame?" Curt walked us through the process of nomination and how they've revamped the voting to include fan votes and we looked at a few specific cases on the current eligible ballot as well as other names from the past that may be revisited. It's interesting stuff to think about, especially as other players like Mike Sweeney, Johnny Damon and Carlos Beltran are nearing eligibility for the team honor. ]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-03-27T09_13_28-07_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-03-27T09_13_28-07_00 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:13:28 GMT 2013-03-27 2013-03-27 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com "how,(or,a,about,also,an,and,are,artifacts,as,at,ballot,base,battles,be,beltran,bit,bring,brought,brown,can't,carlos,cases,chris,course,covered,cruise,current,curt,damon,david,decision,dejesus.,director,discussing,dive,does,eligibility,eligible,emil,end,e 5098 clean 8 The regular season can't get here soon enough.

Dayton Moore has talked about "the Process" of building a contender. It's taken a rebuild of the farm system but now it's time to get results. After trading Wil Myers for James Shields, the Royals are closer than they've been in a long time, but what's the actual window for contention? With most of their lineup made up of young players, what can we expect for the franchise in 2013 and ahead?

He went through his process of determining a team's best year for being a World Series contender and the factors he had in mind while lining up the next few seasons.

The Royals start out undefeated in Cactus League play and we decided to figure out if it meant anything. Or even a little bit of anything. Does it improve the team's confidence?

While snow fell in Kansas City, the Royals were busy getting spring training underway and taking the field against the rest of the Cactus League. We did our best not to overreact to the action so far, but did discuss Luis Mendoza's potential as a starter, John Lamb's comeback and velocity (as well as that of Noel Arguelles) and Alex Gordon's day off. Then we welcomed the voice of Kauffman Stadium to the show. Mike McCartney's a name you might not know but if you get to see the Royals at home, you'll know his voice. We caught up with him to talk about the All Star break, his philosophy behind how to work within the game and the crowd in calling up a player, what he does with the weird names (and we tested a few with him), and what it's like to work at the ballpark all summer. After a brief interlude to talk about the Chiefs and their search for a quarterback (we try not to go there unless it's a big story), we talked with Elliot Johnson, the newest Royal in camp. Johnson shared a lot about his climb towards the big leagues, including the disappointments of being kept in the minors, bad timing, and his dustup with Francisco Cervelli (and he had a nice take on the overreaction to that 2008 collision). He also talked about the leadership the Royals should expect from former-and-once-again teammates James Shields and Wade Davis as well as his adjustment to a new clubhouse and coaching staff and playing every position on the diamond. ]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-02-26T21_23_03-08_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-02-26T21_23_03-08_00 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:23:03 GMT 2013-02-27 2013-02-27 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com 6506 no 13 While snow fell in Kansas City, the Royals were busy getting spring training underway and taking the field against the rest of the Cactus League. We did our best not to overreact to the action so far, but did discuss Luis Mendoza's potential as a starter, John Lamb's comeback and velocity (as well as that of Noel Arguelles) and Alex Gordon's day off. Then we welcomed the voice of Kauffman Stadium to the show. Mike McCartney's a name you might not know but if you get to see the Royals at home, you'll know his voice. We caught up with him to talk about the All Star break, his philosophy behind how to work within the game and the crowd in calling up a player, what he does with the weird names (and we tested a few with him), and what it's like to work at the ballpark all summer. After a brief interlude to talk about the Chiefs and their search for a quarterback (we try not to go there unless it's a big story), we talked with Elliot Johnson, the newest Royal in camp.

The Royals are gathering in Surprise, Arizona right now for spring training and taking stock of their talent as the 2013 season starts. Who better to discuss that talent than one of the men who's helped acquire it? Royals Assistant GM JJ Picollo talked with the Vault about a number of prospects and their expected paths to the big leagues, including John Lamb, Kyle Zimmer, Jason Adam and Yordano Ventura. He explained the organization's approach to advancing Bubba Starling and talked about the input he gave Dayton Moore prior to the Wil Myers/James Shields trade. He also gave us an idea of how things shift from a scouting and development standpoint and adjusting to the circumstances and skills of each player. Prior to talking with Picollo, Troy, Jeff and Mike talked about some of the early news out of spring training including Jeff Francoeur's reaction to criticism, the middle infield and utility player battles, and what to take away from Tuesday's intrasquad game.]]> http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-02-20T13_56_50-08_00 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com/entry/2013-02-20T13_56_50-08_00 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:56:50 GMT 2013-02-20 2013-02-20 http://royalmanreport.podomatic.com RoyalsPodcast.com 2013,a,about,acquire,adam,adjusting,advancing,also,an,and,approach,are,arizona,as,assistant,away,battles,better,big,bubba,circumstances,criticism,dayton,development,discuss,each,early,expected,explained,for,francoeur's,from,game.,gathering,gave,gm,he,help 4865 no 14 The Royals are gathering in Surprise, Arizona right now for spring training and taking stock of their talent as the 2013 season starts.
