Leftridge: Royals Can’t Stick with Holland Much Longer
I feel as bad saying it as you probably feel reading it, but Greg Holland should no longer be closing for the Kansas City Royals. Look, I love Holland. He has been an immeasurably important piece of an outstanding bullpen … Continue reading

Leftridge: The Kansas City Royals Are Going to Kill Me
The Royals went out and got Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist which is exactly what I hoped they’d do, so I know now that the acquisitions have to be huge mistakes because I’m never right about shit like this. They … Continue reading

Leftridge: Trade Deadline Approaches; Offense Targets
Last week, I pleaded with the Royals to sign a starting pitcher. This was before Jason Vargas blew up his elbow (though that wasn’t exactly shocking, given his previous injuries this season) and before OPENING DAY STARTER Yordano Ventura had … Continue reading

Leftridge: The Royals Are Going to the World Series Again
As easy as it is to pick apart the meaningless failings and triumphs of spring training, it’s just as easy to get irrationally emotional about the first three (or five, or twelve) games of the regular season. Spring training means … Continue reading

Leftridge: Checking in with the AL Champs
I haven’t been paying close attention to spring training. I attribute this to three things. First, I might still be suffering from a World Series hangover. It seems like just yesterday I was having my heart ripped out and shat … Continue reading

Leftridge: All Hail King Sweeney
Yesterday, the Kansas City Royals announced that Michael John Sweeney would be the 26th player elected to their Hall of Fame. This makes very good and complete sense, as Michael John—or “Mike” as he is more commonly called—was a good … Continue reading

Leftridge: KC Takes “No Room for Improvement!” Approach at Winter Meetings, Apparently

I was disappointed that the Kansas City Royals lost the World Series, and now I’m kind of sad because it looks like they’ll be bidding farewell to one of the better hitters in team history. Although it comes as no … Continue reading
Leftridge: Next Stop for Royals, Baltimore
When the dust settled, the unlikeliest thief was standing at second with a goofy, childlike grin… Not only had he stolen a base, he’d also scored from first on a triple earlier in the game. It was just that kind … Continue reading
