In which Willie Bloomquist and Bob Dutton have TOTALLY LOST IT

Categories:

From the Kansas City Star this evening: If the reaction of once-and-future teammates is any indication, the Royals pulled off a steal of a trade Friday afternoon in acquiring shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt from Seattle for two minor-league pitchers. “Wow! Really?” said Willie Bloomquist, who spent the previous four years as Betancourt’s teammate. “He’s very, very …

Worst. Joke. EVER. (Yuniesky Betancourt is a Royal.)

Before facing a single pitch in Fenway tonight, the Royals have been the butt of jokes from all over the country. When I first got the word from Greg Schaum’s Twitter, I prayed it was a joke. No way the Royals would trade a top prospect for ANOTHER awful shortstop….right? Oh. No. They actually did. …

Q: What won’t help turn the Royals into something other than a joke? A: Their newest utility guy. And if this is some sort of precursor to a Mark Teahen trade…Well, that one had better be a damned good trade.  Royals get utility man Freel in Trade with Cubs [The Kansas City Star]

Shameless self-promotion: The All-Star Roster edition

Uncategorized

First off, Zack Greinke is a legitimate All-Star, and not a pity-representative. That feels good. (See? Now this post IS sorta Royals-related!) At my other blog, Getting to First Base, I looked at a bunch of position players who are also legitimate All-Stars, whom the voters chose correctly. Check it out and/or tell me I’m …

As you’ve undoubtedly heard, Alex Gordon will be joining the Omaha Royals for one game on his rehab assignment, and that one game is tomorrow. As of yesterday evening, something like 18,000 tickets had already been sold – not all because of Gordon, of course, but because this was to be one of our two …

ORoyals open July with a loooong loss

Categories:

Uncategorized

Sidney Ponson made the start for Omaha. I had kind of hoped John Buck would be the starting catcher, so we’d have an “all-rehab” battery, but he Buck was not in tonight’s lineup. In Ponson’s last appearance last Friday, he got through five innings at Memphis, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits. Tonight, Ponson …

It’s July, so come watch Alex Gordon at Rosenblatt

Lots of people have been asking me (and and I’ve been passing the questions on to the Omaha front office personnel, just for y’all) – what’s up with Alex Gordon? Will he play in Omaha? Heck, those questions started as soon as Gordon got hurt. The deal: Gordon will be joining the O-Royals on Friday, …

O-Royals drop “Home Opener Part II”

Don’t get me wrong here – I love the College World Series. “Back Home in Omaha,” all the cheesy video montages ESPN shows of Series past and scenes from around town, the dogpile at the end. I love all of it. BUT. For all three seasons I’ve worked for the O-Royals, I’ve ended missing them …

The Tupman Era has ended

Categories:

Uncategorized

by

The Royals have released 29-year-old catcher Matt Tupman. Apparently he requested this move, after a three-and-a-half-year tenure with the Royals in which he only ever got one plate appearance in the Majors. After watching some of Brayan Pena’s awful defense while Tupman continues to get stashed in the minors…well, I can’t say I blame him …
