They had a brand. Kansas City Royals small ball. Royals basestealing. Royals defense. Royals bullpen. Those were the ingredients to Royalball, twice winning the pennant and a Royals World Series win. And there were so many notable players: Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain, Jarrod Dyson, Terrance Gore, Wade Davis, Greg Holland, and Kelvin Herrera get the most shine in this video. We have quite a few topics to cover in this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production. What place do the Royals have in the MLB Statcast Era? Was the 2014 World Series or 2015 World Series just a Royals fluke? I wish we had more time for Madison Bumgarner, but we'll save it for another day. ___________________________________________________ Neil Paine on the Royals: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-2014-15-kansas-city-royals-were-one-of-baseballs-great-underdog-stories/ Opening Day Payrolls: https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/american-league/kansas-city-royals/ Buxton Won't Steal 3rd: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/49722/banjo-hitter-byron-buxton-wont-steal-third-base/ 7,000 Sq Ft Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWkQQ9bBOMQ Soundtrack from Maxo: https://soundcloud.com/maxoelectronic https://maxoisnuts.bandcamp.com/
