That was the difference in the ballgame - banjo hitters that won't take walks simply won't win anything...ever. It's just out of date thinking; they've built a dead-ball era squad with no speed to supplement it.

I don't get it at all.
Part of the issue is the extreme lack of power.

Royals hitters don't hit for much power, so why NOT challenge them even when behind in the count.
