On "Drop the Ball," Matt and Jackson discuss ALL things Royals, Chiefs, and some more. This podcast will absolutely push you to try to be a great sports fan, even if you're not. The passion for the game will 100% be in affect. It might get heated... but hey, that's entertainment.
Noah's Complete Game, Jac's Ascension, Minor League Minute!
This week, the guys discuss this team being the same old Royals. Starting to play better now that they're completely out of it, and showing they can compete next year... a tale as old as time. There are some highlights though, including Noah Cameron's CG shutout, Maikel and Vinnie igniting the offense, Jac being a legitimate threat behind Bob. Then we highlight Craig Kimbrel as an addition, Tony Gonsolin is signed for next year to address depth. And we end it with a minor league minute! With many Royals prospects flying up the rankings, and finally getting out of this rut they've been in the last few years. Of course we wrap it up with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball.

Scratching Our Heads at the Deadline
This week we discuss the Royals’ Trade Deadline, or rather, lack of trades that happened. We like what we got from the trades we made, but it seemed like they left some at the table. Lane Thomas, Bailey Falter, and Kris Bubic being the only subtractions means there’s a few impending free agents they didn’t take advantage of.
They were unwilling to move Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha to compete next year…Which we understand Wacha, but Lugo? Jackson plays devils’s advocate to see what could happen due to them keeping both arms. Overall, just an underwhelming deadline for a handful of reasons. Then we of course, end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

A Check-in at the All Star Break
We're back with a new one after a brief hiatus. We're checking in at the ASG with the Royals, as they are in the middle of one of their worst seasons in memory. Especially given the expectations. Bobby Witt Jr and Michael Wacha are the Royal All-Stars in 2026, and Jac Caglianone put on a respectable performance in the Home Run Derby. We have our thoughts from the first half, Carter and Cags ascension, and the 2026 MLB Draft, as there were some people not too happy with the Royals decisions, although we liked a couple things they did. Then we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
