  • Not a Royals Podcast

    I don’t care who the Philadelphia Phillies are going to keep. I don’t care how the Phillies free agent signings have gone. I thought this was supposed to be a Kansas City Royals podcast.

  • Trash Opinions

    Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco can’t help themselves. These two are enthusiastic about the Royals, but love to show their leftist political takes in their listers’ faces. In 2024, they endorsed political violence and told listeners they’re ‘bad people’ if they don’t vote for Kamala Harris.

    In 2025, they condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for enforcing federal law. These knuckleheads seem to think all Latinos love and support illegal immigration! These two very Caucasian podcast... more

  • No longer a fan

    I like listening to both of the hosts. Good content, nice thoughts. However, when one of the hosts says he’s not going to watch any of the games in Seattle this week (because of the late start times), why would I listen to him give me his thoughts on the games, players, coaches, etc. You lost a listener today Jeremy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Royals Opening Week Reality Check, Answer Your Questions w/ Max Rieper
Q: Who would put up more WAR for the Royals among non-starters?
They discuss several bench options, with a general expectation that a mix of Martinez/Isbell-level production and defensive value could push a midseason WAR positive depending on playing time and health.
Royals Opening Week Reality Check, Answer Your Questions w/ Max Rieper
Q: Should the Royals use Cags in relief to add bullpen depth?
The hosts lean toward not overburdening Cags with bullpen duties, suggesting he be kept in a hitting-focused role on the bench unless injuries force a broader bullpen usage.
Contracts, Royals Catchers, and the Kansas City Stadium Question
Q: What do you think the split should be between Jensen and Salmi?
I would say, I think it needs to be primarily Jensen. I would give it like a 60-40 split, with most of that coming later on in the season.
