What is the opening preview for the Royals and upcoming interview with David Lesky?
Fourth quarter of the program begins right now. We finish strong here on a Thursday. Coming up in our next segment, we'll talk to David Leske, some Royals baseball talk. We'll get into that. We will get to the bottom of Noah Cameron, future Cy Young winner, Hall of Famer. 30-game winner, minimum. Minimum. minimum is what we're thinking over here. By the way, the Royals back at it tonight, Royals and Twins. 6.30, games on ESPN, is that correct? Is that why the 6.30 time? That's what I saw. That's what I've got on the sheet here. We don't make mistakes, do we, Thunderdome? So that must be the case.
It is, Espen.
I saw that earlier. Michael Waka versus Bailey Ober, KC minus 120, with Michael Waka, Waka, Waka on the mound. By the way, the Royals have claimed left-hand pitcher Luke Little off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. They optioned him to AAA. What do we know about Luke Little?
Four years in the majors, hasn't pitched a lot, has been almost entirely in relief. 40 appearances, 30 of those happening back in 2024. 2.97 ERA over 36 innings, 23 hits. 45 Ks in 36 innings. 28 walks is a problem, but live arm. 11 Ks per nine, but almost seven walks. Got to get the walks down.
Yeah. That's going to be the key. 25 years old. Yeah. So, worthwhile effort.
He's got the strikeouts, but he's also got the walks. 45 and 36 innings at the major leagues is something you can work with at least. Can you get him to get more control?
For sure. For sure. All right. Today was defensive coordinator day at the podium up in St. Joe. Steve Spagnuolo addressing the media. Mansoor Delane. We know the Chiefs went from 9 to 6 to go get him. The shoulder. has been an issue with him. He's wearing the yellow no-contact jersey, although I mentioned I thought he was really using both arms today, so I don't think he's probably too far from that jersey coming off. Steve Spagnuolo talked about how carefully they're handling the lane.
So we're trying to be a little cautious with the shoulder, the shoulder blade. And I think you guys saw him, and he was out there today because we only had shells on so he could protect himself. The other three days with the shoulder pads, it was just really being safe, right? Protect him from himself because you put pads on, we don't want to set him back. But I did think he did a good job. You know, you saw him in and out of huddles, getting everything mentally, tried to keep the conditioning up. So hopefully, we'll see where we are tomorrow because we put the pads back on, but that'll be Rick's call.
Who is Luke Little and what are his recent stats and prospects with the Royals?
A lot.
I mean, we just haven't had the work. You know, you go through OTAs and it's just helmets. And he hasn't had a chance to really, you know, the thing he's missing right now is the continuity with a bunch of guys that are new to him. You know, everybody's new. So we're going to have to fight through that. I mean, before you know it, we're going to be lining up against Denver. So hopefully we can get him back quicker than we thought.
One thing I heard, he said shoulder blade. So, you know, the shoulder blade's different. The shoulder blade is more muscle and bone in the back. So if that's what it is, that's better than like rotator cuff joint issues. So he said, we'll see. We'll have to talk to Rick tomorrow. So he's hinting that like maybe it could be tomorrow. So we'll see. I don't think he's hinting at that. He just said we'll have to talk to Rick. So I don't know. I don't. We heard Blair kind of speculate maybe a week from now, maybe after that game, that we won't see it come off until after that game. So we'll see. He seemed to be doing quite a bit by my eye. We'll see when that jersey comes off. But as of right now, I think they're clearly barreling towards it being no problem for the season.
Talk about when would I be concerned? I'll be concerned if he doesn't play in the first game. When would I be worried if he doesn't play in the second game? When am I panicked if he's not ready to go for the regular season? I think panic is probably off the board. I think worried is probably off the board. We'll see if we even end up being concerned when that first game rolls around.
