No matter how well the Royals do, this is always the first thing I think of when it comes to them.

I may have asked this earlier but where does this come from anyway? Just tired of hearing about the Shields trade or what?

I mean the Royals aren't likely to end up like the Red Sox did when everyone was cheering for them.

It was infuriating to see David Glass accepting a trophy as if he ever cared if we did much better than .500, or about anything other than whether the team was profitable or not.

If anything, you should be rooting for the Royals' stupid ideas to pay off so that all the bad GMs in baseball will go "see, I was right all along!" and do really dumb and funny poo poo to try to imitate them.

Nah, man. You just gotta reframe it as further evidence that baseball outcomes are mostly non-deterministic and all you can do is better your odds and now it is you who is being vindicated. The Royals' clown crew going on this hilarious run pretty much proves sabermetrics.

Say what you will about how good the Royals ideas were but that they clearly had a plan, win in 13-14 with defense and fly ball pitchers, and stuck to it puts them ahead of all the really bad orgs out there. Jack Z would have ran Chris Getz and Paul Maholm out there instead of Infante and Vargas. That Moore put himself in an all in situation and actually acted like it makes me respect him way more than I did a year ago.
