A final hour on a Friday!
A full show on a Friday!
We talk MLB, cliffs for athletes, a MJ comp to a KC Chief, and we talk simple tasks that we struggle with.
Dusty has a MJ Melendez comp that could upset you unless you're a realist. Plus, we go through the biggest sports upsets ever as the Dodgers feel like a shoe in.
We debut the second weekly edition of the Kauffman Corner Podcast.David Lesky, Publisher of the Inside the Crown Royals Newsletter and Les Norman, Former Royals Outfielder, Host of Breakin' the Norm on Sports Radio 810 and Author of "Teaching the Tools of Hitting" join Soren Petro to discuss the Kansas City Royals... - Early reaction to the Royals (2-4) start?- Do the Royals stick with MJ Melendez?- How long does it take to perfect a new swing?- Will Hunter Renfroe get it going?- What options do the Royals have in the OF?- Is the Torpedo Bat legit or a myth?- AL Central... bad division or just a slow start?- What's the ceiling for Kris Bubic?- Expectations for the 7 game home stand.
Bob brings new information regarding the Royals stadium location, we talk MJ Melendez and play one word before our benchmark called 'Tuesday threesome.'
Bob and Dusty make a timeline for MJ Melendez and when he needs to show up and step up. Then the guys play one word where they go through different headlines.

This week, the guys highlight Maikel Garcia's centerfield quest, as they try to find a way for their best players in the lineup. Cole Ragans looks fantastic so we look at the outlook of Ragans for 2025 and what the entire rotation is able to do. Including Matt thinking Kyle Wright is going to be in peak form again. MJ Melendez is starting to put it together and that's something all Royals fans love to see. John Rave is a big discussion for everyone as he continues to impress, the Royals NEW top 30 prospects comes out, and of course, we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
President Trump is promising an amazing speech for Congress and all Americans and the word circulating is he's putting all the cards on the table. Is that a NATO exit? The end of the United Nations? A complete pullout of the Ukraine/Russia war? More tariffs? Grab some popcorn, it's only America's future on the line. Democrats hate female sports and they just keep proving it in a losing effort that is amazingly stupid. I guess this is how you try to keep your failing party together? Not a single dem vote in the Senate to keep men out of women's sports. Incredible. The Premier of Ontario is promising economic devastation to America if Trump doesn't change his mind. I don't know about you but I can't sleep at night thinking about no maple syrup or Canadian bacon. The Houston Cougars own the Big 12 in men's basketball and they do it in a way that your favorite coaches would be proud of. It's ugly but truly gritty. KU played hard, tough and looked prettier almost all not. But Houston was tougher and gets another win. The Royals win behind blazing stuff from pitcher Daniel Lynch and the hitting of completely remade MJ Melendez. Shannon Sharpe argues sports with Stephen A Smith on ESPN and refers to himself as Trump and Smith as Zelenskyy. Hilarious. The combine is over and we think we know what QB is going number one and highly praised movie got snubbed from OSCAR consideration for obvious reasons.

Watching KU get worked over by BYU was completely shocking to the system as it appeared the players just didn't care. It was awful. "Embarrassed" is the word Bill Self used and said of his traveling party, "we all need to get away from each other." This may not be the Titanic but KU's ship sure has crashed into an iceberg in the NIL era of college hoops. President Trump and Elon Musk sit down for a joint interview that was just incredible to watch. We'll tell you what they said and why it matters. Who are the pilots of the Delta flight that crashed? Here's a prediction, Canadian officials will now start pushing the weather as a problem before they tell us who the pilots are. Don't believe it. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly gets embarrassed with a veto override as Kansas kids will now be safe from unnecessary genital mutilation and puberty blockers. Mizzou has a huge test against Bama Wednesday night. MJ Melendez has a new swing at spring training. A high school in Maine defies Trump's transgender sports executive order and finger lickin' good is now a Texas thing.

Lots of question marks for teams on who their starting QB will be in a month, Mac tells us each starter. Then, we are back in on MJ Melendez, and their are more updates on this Brandon Aiyuk fiasco.
Tuesday is primary election day in Missouri and Kansas and we'll offer up who's running in the biggest races. In national politics, a Kamala ally apparently leaked her VP choice this weekend. It's a clown show. Thanks to a listener, we're encouraging everyone to start a new trend supporting no tax on tips. Disgraced former coach Jon Gruden, dressed in Chiefs coaching clothes, was on the field with the team this weekend in St. Joe. We'll tell you why. Morgan Wallen wore a #7 Chiefs jersey for his show at Arrowhead Friday night where there was nothing but drama surrounding the event. Of course he knows it's Butker's jersey but there is more to this story. MJ Melendez doesn't get a lot of hits but when he does, they seem to be HUGE. None bigger than pinch hitting in the 9th inning on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler cries his eyes out after winning the gold in golf and a famous singer punishes his fantasy football league losers by making them sing on stage.... and they can't sing at all.
Cody & Gold break down MJ Melendez' standing with the team and talk about his ability to have bi hits when they matter, even if it comes inconsistently.
MJ Melendez, known clutch performer, hit a pinch-hit, 3-run, game-winning home run yesterday against the Tigers to give the Royals a 3-2 win in the 9th with 2 outs! We talk about the win and the upcoming schedule for the Royals in The Zone with Jason Anderson, Sterling Holmes, Producer Dylan Michaels & Jack Johnson of Locked on RoyalsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We workshop the LMB acronym to account for the Mexican League signing players of questionable character. We aren't just yanking Verdugo's chain, we are teaching you valuable vocabulary in multiple languages. We review your four options when you catch a home run ball during a game, starting with It Belongs To You. A little over a week in and our guys with slow starts are getting the bats in gear. We've got home runs bouncing off gloves and walls, we've got new nicknames (Turn and Burn O'Hearn!), and platelet infusions. Elly impresses off the field too, conducting his first press conference all in English. Wish wish Stephen Strasburg well on his retirement and as Nats fans we thank him for his service. Pottymouth turns our attention to Baseball United, the Dubai-based program that is attracting lots of attention and dollars from former MLB greats, and now Ronald Acuña Jr as well. We remain suspicious. Shane and Spencer, just this Saturday, join the ranks of seriously injured pitchers and the MLBPA and MLB argue over the role of the pitch clock in all of this. Compton's MLB Youth Academy hosts the BFA Women's College Club Baseball Championships. Patti and Pottymouth got up early Saturday morning to make friends with Yankee fans for an important cause. We participated in a live stream marathon “Pinstripes for a Cause” to help raise money for the World Parkinson Coalition. If you want to see us on coffee instead of craft beer, we start at 1:30 into the stream. Please consider adding your donation and add “Pinstripes for a Cause” or No Crying in Baseball to the notes.We say, “That's a Darwin test,” “One set of biceps was more productive than the other,” and “Is he pulling one of your six chains?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
