Earlier in the year, the Royals were somewhat masking their abysmal OPS with timely hitting with runners on. Not anymore. FWIW, for the season they have scored almost exactly the number of runs OPS predicted they would score.
Problem is not hitting with RISP. All teams are streaky. The problem is that our hitters and our hitting approach sucks. Strike zone management is a tool, and our guys don't have enough of it to hit major league pitching. It's time to flush this old-school, anti-Moneyball turd, Dayton Moore. The guy is a decent to good pitching scout and nothing more.
