In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down the Kansas City Royals’ rollercoaster week, including a gutsy win over the Tigers, growing concerns about Seth Lugo’s stamina, and the impact of mounting injuries as the team clings to postseason hopes.
The duo dives into Kansas City’s offensive surge since the All-Star break, analyzing improvements across the lineup and how they’re compensating for pitching inconsistencies. They also tackle fan frustrations, assess the bullpen’s reliability, and pinpoint areas the front office must address — especially left-handed relief — as the Royals eye October.
Plus: Minor league shuffling, veteran releases, and why the White Sox series is make-or-break. If you’re riding the Royals' postseason rollercoaster, this episode brings clarity, critique, and (just enough) cautious optimism.
