Brandon and Moses are back this week celebrating the 4th of July! We reveal our Independence Day plans. The Royals are embarrassing. We try our best to make sense of what happened with Kansas City over the last week. The Royals have an update on the downtown stadium plans. We’ll get into some of those details and what the timeline currently looks like. The all-star game is around the corner, which means the homerun derby is near. Brandon and Moses each draft a team they think would win the derby. The Mets fired Carlos Mendoza, is it time for the Royals to think about doing the same? MLB and MLBPA have made new proposals, are we going to avoid a lockout? Happy 4th! Stay Safe!

Moses might have jinxed the Kansas City Mavericks. Brandon is going to try to hold him accountable. The Royals season continues to go the opposite of how we want it to. The record keeps getting worse and now the injuries are stacking up. On a positive note Bobby Witt Jr has a huge lead in the all-star voting. 4th of July is on the horizon and MLB released the uniforms the teams will be wearing. Will the prices be reasonable? Of course they won’t. Is hitting for the cycle or pitching a perfect game more exciting in baseball? Kansas City is showing out for the World Cup. It has been awesome to see everybody coming in and enjoying their time here.

The Royals are playing good baseball again. Brandon and Moses try to navigate where the team goes from here? Can they continue this play the rest of the year? Teams have reached out to the Royals about Kris Bubic. Does Kansas City make that trade? Is it too early to decide if you are selling? The Royals had some injuries over the weekend but they seem to have dodged anything too serious. Josh Rojas got called up last week. We were big advocates for him this spring. Let’s break down his wild Thursday! Moses has a conspiracy theory about the Las Vegas series. Apparently you can just gamble in college sports now without real consequences. College sports need fixing. Go Knicks! As always, we wrap up our show with honorable mentions. It's a little nerdy this time around!

Brandon and Moses are back after a great Memorial Day Weekend! The Royals blew it again and we’re going to try and figure out what the Royals need to do to get this thing back on the rails, but is it too late? Salvador Perez just made history again! He is well on his way to Cooperstown. Its a long season, we’re taking a trip around the minor leagues to get everyone familiar with the Royals farm system and we have a few national stories that are worth mentioning!
