Did something happen last weekend?  Oh, many things that I saw up close and personal... but who cares about that.  MJ MELENDEZ IS HERE!!  One of the most hyped catching prospects in the MLB and the likely successor to Salvador Perez, MJ Melendez is making his much-anticipated debut either today or tomorrow as the Royals take on the Cardinals.

The Royals take two of three from the championship-hopeful White Sox, which is a great sign after getting swept in Seattle and makes the upcoming weekend a little less daunting.  Now we have to deal with the Super Hot Yankees this weekend, but before we get into any of that, we have to talk about Adalberto Mondesi, because it might be the last time we do so for a very long time.

The Royals take a rare L from the bullpen after scratching and clawing their way into a tie.  Is it thanks to Matheny's try-harding, or is it just a normal accident we should see every now and then?  Also, Whit Merrifield actually did something nice.

Oh, hi!  It's been a few days since we talked Royals Baseball, and things haven't been so great in that time.  Let's catch up by talking about what's so wrong about that series against the Future 2022 American League Champions Seattle Mariners and what can be done to somewhat rectify it.  Then we talk about what was so good about the first White Sox game and why I'm looking forward to the rest.

I WATCHED A CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE

The Royals may or may not have played a baseball game yesterday, it's honestly really hard to tell.  More importantly, we got some long-awaited payoffs I've been asking for: an answer to what's going on with Kyle Isbel (and a solution), and the first true overhaul of the Royals lineup (which still can't score any runs).

After another low-scoring game, it's clear what kind of team the Kansas City Royals are in 2022: a team that doesn't score many runs, but prevents runs from scoring thanks to an invincible defense and a shutdown bullpen, both of which have already been shown, statistically, that they are among the best in MLB.  The Royals have fully recovered from their 5-game losing streak by winning three straight, evening out their record to a perfectly balanced .500 after ten games, which is not a bad sight to see at all.

The Royals come back from a 2-day break to win a second consecutive game--gosh, I feel so spoiled!!  This is largely thanks to MASSIVE power coming from Salvador Perez and Hunter Dozier--sorry, who is that?  I think I meant to say ALEX MF GORDON BACK FROM RETIREMENT hitting a game-winner.  That's right, HE'S BACK!!!!!  Also Bobby Witt Jr. cost us three runs lmao.

WE'RE FINALLY FREE.  The Royals break their 5-game losing streak in a game with the lowest expectations possible.  Kris Bubic makes a dramatic improvement over his season debuting disaster, and Hunter Dozier continues his revenge tour despite some mistakes.  Even with a highly imperfect game, it looks like things are getting a little better for the Royals.

The Royals have lost their fifth straight game, thanks to yet another low-scoring offense.  Brad Keller gets an undeserved loss as he continues his great start, but it's besides the point today.  It's time to talk about Bobby Witt Jr. and his lack of success at the Major League level, and it's time to discuss what can and should be done about it.

TENTATIVE!  That's the 10 pun that you're getting for today, in the 10th episode of the Royal de Lux Podcast.  The Royals lose a low-scoring game at home to a Tigers team that will probably end up being better than you think, but that's for another time.  Today, we discuss the problems this Royals team is having right now and how it could possibly, hopefully change as we try to break out of a four-game losing streak.
