I totally agree we may not win, that's baseball. But I really don't understand how everyone, not just here but on other boards and Twitter... are sitting here arguing that the Royals are losing because they let up in September and the Astros didn't. That's not true at all. There's just no basis in reality for that. They just beat us tonight. It has nothing to do with September or previous years' playoff series or any of that voodoo. You can even argue they came into the playoffs colder than almost anyone.

We seemed to have strayed away from our identity that had us crushing souls in last year's postseason and the beginning of this regular season. We're not a small ball team anymore. I haven't seen us try to play that way in a long time.
It seems to be an identity thing that propelled us forward, and somewhere along the way we lost it. That's way more worrying than the Royals not finishing the month of September (which is debatable)
