On this week’s episode of Crown Talk, Jared and Kevin return to break down a rough stretch for the Royals, including frustrating series losses to the Astros and Cardinals. They dive into offensive struggles, missed opportunities, and the impact of injuries to Seth Lugo and Cole Ragans. But it’s not all doom and gloom, Noah Cameron’s strong start, signs of a pitching development turnaround, and potential trade targets like Taylor Ward and Luis Robert offer hope. They also explore lineup shakeups, the rise of John Rave in AAA, Jac Caglianone's promotion to AAA, and what the Royals’ draft strategy might signal for the future. Plus, a few rants about Cardinals fans and some love for Michael Garcia.
