Episode Details

Opening Day is here — and it’s time to make some bold calls.

In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down the upcoming start of the Kansas City Royals’ season while diving into the biggest storylines shaping baseball both on and off the field. From early-season reactions and roster updates to lingering buzz from the World Baseball Classic, the hosts set the stage for what could be a defining year for the franchise.

A major focus of the episode is the evolving landscape of MLB broadcasting, including frustrations with Netflix’s baseball coverage, ongoing blackout restrictions, and what the future of streaming means for fans trying to follow the Royals. Jacob and Jeremy explore how media rights, accessibility, and league partnerships could reshape how fans consume the game in the coming years.

The episode also introduces a brand-new segment: the “Bold Royals Predictions” game, where the hosts make betting-style projections on player stats, team performance, and season outcomes. From home run totals and ERAs to total team runs scored, the predictions range from realistic expectations to ambitious (and sometimes wild) forecasts for 2026.

Blending season preview insights, media analysis, and interactive fan engagement, this episode gives Royals fans everything they need to start the season informed, entertained, and ready to make their own predictions.
