It’s been fun to watch (well, at least if you’re not a fan of the Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Angels or Baltimore Orioles - all teams the Royals have dispatched in their wake), but unfortunately, the surprising run has also lead to some people busting out their old “Jump To Conclusions” mat from Office Space and are assuming the Royals postseason is proof that KC is building the teams the correct way, and because it’s slightly unorthodox, the Royals must be bucking the “sabermetric trend.”. ![]() Yost does things his own way, and has ignored his critics, much as GM Dayton Moore has ignored calls to break up the team, and this postseason appears to be affirming everything the Royals are doing as the correct way - especially since the Royals haven’t been defeated yet in this postseason. The Kansas City Royals are going to the World Series, and in a lot of ways their playoff run defies logic - the extra innings magic, contributors from unlikely sources, and plenty of chances for the Royals to get #Yosted - a hashtag following the nearly-always curious decisions of Royals manager Ned Yost.
