  • Not a good pod

    Jack is not positive about the royals at all and coming from someone who watches every game, he seemed to not have even watched it. He is really bad at lifting up a fan base that is already not happy with the season.

  • Good podcast, but….

    I love this podcast and the royals. I especially like Jack and the problems he addresses, the could-be changes to the team that he goes through, and I think I’ve learned more about the royals listening to this podcast than watching the actual games themselves!

    But on the other hand, Chance, the post cast host, is too critical on this team, even at their best. I can’t celebrate a good win when listening to the post cast. I get that the royals have disappointed this 2026 season, but that doesn’t... more

  • Meh

    Pros and cons with this one. I’ll start with the good. Jack is a good host. He’s knowledgeable and clearly loves this team. Having a regular source of Royals talk is good, and he’s good with being up front if the schedule is going to change.

    Unfortunately, those positives are washed out by the negatives. Jack seems hesitant, scared, or unwilling to call out the coaching staff, front office, or ownership. I can chalk this up to his position as a reporter but it’s a bit tiring.

  • Questions

    I’m wondering, when do think Salvador Perez will retire. And if Bobby Witt Jr were to be traded where to and for how much and why? By the way my name is Jacob.

  • Consistent and knowledgeable

    This podcast is hard to evaluate. Jack, the main host is pretty solid. However Chance, who hosts the post game pods (which show up in the same feed) , is inarticulate, regularly unprepared, and out of the 5 of his I listened to, in 4 of them it appeared as though he did not even watch the game.

    Jack does a good job following off-season content, but I am done with the in season pods.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Kansas City Royals are playing cleaner baseball
Q: Question number one comes from George on Twitter, which player on the current Royals roster do you think could have the biggest impact down the stretch that fans might be overlooking?
Nate Pearson is the pick, as an eighth and ninth-inning anchor could stabilize the back end and help win close games in the final weeks.
What to learn in the final weeks of the season
Q: What is a realistic best-case scenario rotation next year?
A best-case rotation envisions a new true ace, with Waka as a secondary option, and a mix of veterans and young arms like Lugo and others, possibly supplemented by a swing guy who could handle long relief and spot starts.
What to learn in the final weeks of the season
Q: Has the emergence of Jensen and Caglione saved Zumwalt's job?
The host suggests that while their performances improved the middle of the lineup, he does not believe Zumwalt will be fired or kept on the staff; he sees potential reassignment rather than firing, and notes Zumwalt's long-standing baseball mind despite some skepticism about his fit next year.
How the Kansas City Royals should approach the final stretch of 2026
Q: Will the Royals go after infield/outfield bats or pitchers in free agency?
The discussion leans toward upgrading the bullpen with high-velocity arms and adding starting pitching, while not sacrificing top prospects in trades.
How the Kansas City Royals should approach the final stretch of 2026
Q: Should teams sign free agents before the lockout, or wait until it ends?
Be aggressive and act early to maintain leverage in the market rather than waiting for the lockout to end.

Frequently Asked Questions About Locked On Royals

What is Locked On Royals about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A daily Kansas City Royals-focused show delivering in-depth game analysis, roster moves, and long-term strategy beyond the box score. Episodes often dissect pitching depth, bullpen usage, and in-season decisions while weighing immediate results against a broader rebuild narrative. The format blends tactical breakdown with fan Q&As, sponsor reads, and cross-promotions, creating a candid, opinionated space for listeners who want both practical takeaways and behind-the-scenes context. A standout aspect is the clear divide in host perspectives—one tends to deliver data-driven, balanced commentary while the other injects high-energy, gut-reaction insights—which keeps discussions lively as the team navigates a complex competitive horizon.
