Terrible podcast

These guys are horrible, chewing on every little thing like cockroaches just to prolong the podcast. Very little useful information provided by these clowns. There are other better sources out there, stay away from this garbage. Truly useless and pointless information provided here.

Great Show

Don’t think it get any better

It’s hard being a Royals fan

This show has two real Royals fans. One is a local radio hack with a voice like a full McDonald’s ashtray and all the charm of a drunk at the end of the bar, Rany is a long standing analytics knower and a trusted voice.

Rany’s great, Soren stop yelling

I love Rany and I’ve loved him since he had the Rany and Joe podcast. I listen to Soren on the radio for his guests…which is why I thought I could like this podcast too. If Soren would stop creating arguments that he then got to yell at Rany about until he wore him down, it would be great! If Soren approached the show with curiosity rather than an agenda, I would be able to make it through a show. I usually make it through half the show before Soren’s antics become too much to handle. This is sports, not a political debate show.

Love Rany

Rany is so informed and has always been one of my faves. I tried to convince myself that Soren’s constant negativity and inability to understand analytics and baseball in general could be a positive. But there is a reason I never listen to him on the radio either. His tales are nonsensical. Also, considering the Royals are a small market team who will have to build with young players, someone who clearly hates young players and exaggerates mistakes….maybe find a new team to talk about Soren.

Soren Petro is a alpha jerk.

Checked this podcast out on a recommendation. Maybe I picked a bad episode to start 4/30. But man Soren Petro sounds like a podcast alpha bro. Constantly talking down to his co-cost and over him and being a overall jerk. Dude need anger management…. Dude has some serious personal problems going on at home. The other guy was pretty decent and made some okay points. Going to look elsewhere.

Best ever

This is a Fantastic podcast not just baseball people but royals people to enjoy something so special that you can get so much love in an hour podcast. Thank you guys so much for doing what you do and providing amazing content and feedback to the casual fan and to the amazing Royals fans.
@tbt_mlb

Great show

Best MLB podcast currently running. There is no one I’d rather hear talk about baseball than Soren and Rany. Consistently makes the listener smarter about baseball.

Great podcast

Rany and Soren are great—the most intelligent commentary on Royals baseball that I know of. Love the show.

The Best

I’ve been in sports talk radio with either my own show or a podcast since 2006. This podcast gives me great envy relative to its quality, and the strengths the hosts have on depth of subject matter and the flow of the conversation. Not only is it the best Royals podcast, it’s probably my favorite podcast regardless of topic due to the chemistry and excellence of the hosts.

5 Stars…

Listen to every episode! Absolutely fantastic Royals podcast!

I’m Unsubscribing

I don’t need to listen to a show that thinks it should record a whole extra episode ontop of their normal schedule just to bash on players who actually think for themselves, and to have a dermatologist lecture me on decisions I’ve made with my own doctor.
Larry Rokino

Free therapy session

An essential listen for anyone brave enough to be a royals fan. Not only is it great analysis, it’s cathartic!
DtA111

Shut up about vaccines

Rany couldn’t help himself and had to get on his soapbox about vaccines. What the “good doctor” somehow cannot grasp despite his vast intelligence is that even though he states he is not a politician, this is a highly politicized topic. This was made abundantly clear when Ron Burgundy, whoops, I mean Joe Biden, tried to force millions of people to get vaccinated against their will in order to keep their job. Vaccines = politics. You cannot get away from it. It baffles me that people cannot make this very simple connection. So, in other words, do NOT say a word about it. Stick to baseball. A simple message to all writers/broadcasters/media: we don’t give two craps what your stance is on all matters political and we abhor getting preached to.

Best in the biz

More quality content from the best in the sports talk business - Soren Petro - and Rany who could probably be working for a national outlet writing / taking baseball league wide but thankfully for us in KC has always focused on the Royals. Thanks guys.

Very thoughtful analysis

Rany and Soren have great chemistry and this podcast is very listenable. Plus they are agonizing fans like me, just smarter.
Brain of Jayhawk

Soren and Rany rescue my sanity

This is truly an outlet for me, due to all of the pent up frustration I have with the 2022 Royals and the entire rebuild of this organization since 2017. To call this a therapy session would be an understatement. So glad you guys got together to put out this podcast!
