We finally got back into the studio after last weekend’s All-Star festivities and put in 90 minutes of baseball discussion.

Curtis Kitchen (@curtiskitchen, CurtisKitchen.com) joined us to share his observations of Eric Hosmer and his recent struggles and the possible causess and solutions related to them.

We also talked with Marc Normandin (@Marc_Normandin, OverTheMonster.com) about the new book “The Hall of Nearly Great” which will be available for purchase on July 18. It covers players who didn’t quite hit Hall of Fame contention but were still notable and among the best in their time. You can learn more by listening to Marc discuss his piece in the book on former Royal Bret Saberhagen and also at the book’s site: HallofNearlyGreat.com.

After our guests, we caught up with the All-Star week and our thoughts on the Robinson Cano booing (and the media’s reaction to it), our memories of the weekend and what’s next for the Royals.

Don’t forget the Royalman Report is on every Sunday at 7 and catch our new show, The Kansas City Baseball Vault on ESPN 1510 AM Thursday’s at 6.

Many new and excited things are taking place like the Royalman Report becoming a weekly fixture in our programming and Michael’s conversation with Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers. All of us here really hope all of you out there are enjoying reading and listening and following along just as much as we’re enjoying creating all the content for you. It’s been yet another struggling year and we’re all in this together, but hopefully, this will be the last one for a while.

Because it’s been yet another struggling year though, the annual “at the break awards” are about as fun to come up with as it would be to watch Yuniesky Betancourt try and hit a slider. Well, I guess that would be quite enjoyable now.

Every year it seems like the picks for any of the categories boils down to the lesser of two evils, and even though there would seem to be a clear-cut winner for the Most Valuable Player on the offensive side, there still isn’t a ton of excitement when looking at all the numbers. (more…)

We were joined in studio by Chris Kamler (best known as @fakenedyost on Twitter) and hilarity, predictably, ensued.

Topics of discussion from this week’s show:

  • A solid homestand.
  • Eric Hosmer
  • The timetable for other prospects and call-ups.
  • The pitching staff
  • Who stays, who goes? (tougher question than you’d think)
  • Jeff Francoeur and intangibles
  • Being Royalman
