Jeff Logan and the guys from the Royalman Report returned to the ESPN 1510 studios with a fresh Royals draft behind us, Paulino being hurt and hopes of returns of some of the DL'ed Royals Players.
They were joined by Buddy Biancalana who was funny and real about his career and the amazing 1985 Championship run.
The guys talked about the minor league All Stars, Clint Robinson being called up, the Royals Major Announcement and the Draft Picks.
The Royalman Report also announced the details of the major event with Baseball Prospectus on Sunday of All Star Week.
They ended by talking about how to fix the starting pitching woes for a team that has shown troubles in the 1st and 5th.
The Baseball Vault is sponsored by the Kansas City Baseball Historical Society and brought to you EVERY week on THURSDAYS from 6-7pm Central time on ESPN 1510AM and 1510.com.

The Royals had a great start to the homestand, taking 2 out or 3 from the Athletics and we were joined by KCTV 5's Brad Fanning to break down the series. Brad also talked to us about his story on the Royals Baseball Academy that graduated MLB'ers such as Frank White and Texas Manager Ron Washington. Then we were joined by Wilmington Blue Rock's starting pitcher Jason Adam who talked to us about needing run support and Twitter. We finished the show with Royalman's Rant and what may or may not be a picture of Fake Ned underneath a Kansas flag.

Chris, Troy, Mike, Joff H and Jeff L kicked off another week of their show on ESPN 1510. They were joined by former KC A's catcher and current Colorado Sky Sox Hitting Coach, Rene Lachemann. He told us about his days with the A's along with other stories from his 50 years in baseball.
They were also joined by Andy from HighHeatstats.com as High Heat made their Royals Mount Rushmore.
The guys also did their normal banter talking about Wil Myers, Jason Adam, Melky Cabrera, and more. They took a look at all teams effecting KC baseball and even gave away a pair of Royals Suite tickets.

Pretty slow week with the Royals taking a 3-game series from the Orioles, but losing a series earlier in the week to the Yankees. So we did what we do best... yammer about stuff. On this week's Memorial Day episode, we were joined by podcast veterans Laurie Kunkel and Chris Atkins and hit such topics as in-stadium proposals, the Royalman NASCAR sponsorship. We also recapped the soap opera that Danny Duffy quitting twitter has resulted in. We also recapped the all-star event that the Royalman Report will be a part of during All-Star Weekend. We'll be throwing out some more details soon, but it's going to be BIG.

In our third episode of the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we had the pleasure to speak with legendary groundskeeper George Toma. Toma shared stories of working the grounds at Municipal Stadium when the A's were in Kansas City, working with Charlie Finley and an incident with monkeys let loose in the ballpark. No, really.

We also got to talk with John Sadak (@johnsadak) the voice of the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Sadak discussed the progress of Jason Adam, Yordano Ventura, Cheslor Cuthbert and gave us his insight into the Royals High A minor league affiliate.

This episode also featured a rant from Troy Olsen regarding the reaction to the Will Smith start on Wednesday in Yankee Stadium. Chris Kamler, of course, egged him on. We also covered the plight of Johnny Giavotella, Eric Hosmer's continuing slump and other Royals-related topics.

Our intrepid reporter, Fake Ned, also known as Chris Kamler, spent last weekend in Omaha with the Storm Chasers. We present to you a short show compiled of interviews with members of the Storm Chasers staff. You'll hear an interview with Martie Cordero, the GM of the Chasers about Werner Park and what a great option it is for a short summer trip. We also talked to Park Hill South alum Tommy Hottovy about his tour with the Royals earlier this year and some advise he has for Danny Duffy. Finally, we ended with some post-game sound after Jake Odorizzi's AAA debut. We talk with Jake and his manager Mike Jirschele. 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.

After a series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Royalmen focused this week on the pitching woes of the starting staff and what type of help might be available in the minor leagues. Fake Ned produced some sound from his recent trip to Omaha as he talked to Pitchers Tommy Hottovy and Jake Odorizzi as well as Storm Chasers General Manager Martie Cordero. The boys finally focued on what's going right with the team as the bats of Billy #CountryBreakfast Butler and Mike Moustakas are carrying this team right now.

This week on the Kansas City Baseball Vault, we jumped right into the future of Royals baseball, welcoming Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus and ESPN.com and discussing Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi and their potential to reach the big leagues this year, Eric Hosmer's slumps, Mike Montgomery's trouble, Mike Moustakas's success and a few other prospects down the pipe. Goldstein and the Baseball Prospectus crew will be in Kansas City July 8 for an All-Star Weekend conference at the Negro League Baseball Museum where the KC Baseball Vault team will be co-panelists.

We also talked with former Kansas City Athletic Joe Rudi. The three time All Star and Gold Glove winner talked about coming up through the minors, dealing with Charlie Finley, and world championships.

Jeff Logan discussed upcoming events from the Kansas City Baseball Historical Society, including the monthly meeting this May 24 at the Westport Flea Market and the upcoming Kansas City A's reunion on June 8. We also gave away Kansas City T-Bones tickets to three lucky callers in our weekly trivia contest.

We'll be back next week with more discussion of Kansas City baseball, past, present and future on ESPN 1510 Thursday at 6 p.m. CST.

We were out last week while we prepared for the debut of the Kansas City Baseball Vault but came back with plenty to talk about, including Danny Duffy's injury and his potential replacements in the rotation. We all figure he'll see DL time (and at time of the episode's upload no announcement had been made by the team), and we discussed the Royals injury problems this year and how it impacts the rest of the year.

The team's been playing better, though, so we brought up the possibility of a resurgence.

Much of the episode focused on two different trips to Northwest Arkansas to see the Naturals. Troy saw them a few weeks ago and Fake Ned went down for the weekend and, wouldn't you know it, ran into controversy. You may have seen the video on Youtube of Springfield Cardinals manager Mike Shildt getting ejected and tossing his helmet in frustration. It hit an umpire, though it was deemed inadvertent. He gave his side in an apologetic interview.

There's also an interview with Naturals GM Eric Edelstein that includes an interesting tale about the Glass family.

We announced our guests for Thursday's KC Baseball Vault - "Doc" Edwards, formerly of the Kansas City A's and Baseball Prospectus and ESPN writer and podcaster Kevin Goldstein. The Kansas City Baseball Vault will be on ESPN 1510 AM and 1510.com Thursday evening from 6-7 central time.
