If the new pitching coaches are truly competent at all this team might actually be improved. People are underestimating just how horrible our pitching staff was. We were dead last in almost everything and by a wide margin in some categories. You don't even have to get league average, just any improvement to catch up with the pack a little bit and you're probably talking 70 wins.

Our pitching was an atrocity. Dayton completely lost his sense of reality if he thought our numbers for the past 5 seasons (consistent through many different pitching staffs) was “part of the process.” |

The stuff coming out of spring training is pretty ****ing damning for Dayton, Matheny, and Cal. Those idiots probably didn't do a single thing with analytics.

Kind of funny that in here we are talking about how Royals did not use analytics and the problem it caused while in a current Chiefs thread titled, "The Chiefs didn't need analytics" they talk about with great players like Mahomes, analytics gets thrown out the window.
Royals need some great players but maybe they need to use analytics to get them and develop them. All I know is I don't want to wait another 30 years for Royals in the World Series. Thank goodness for the Chiefs! |

It seems like the only measurable variable going into this season is competent, analytics-informed management. I'm truly interested to see what improvement comes from it.

I mean, the fact that Matheny and Eldred are no longer here is already considered an improvement in any shape or form.

The sample sizes of baseball really make it possible to do meaningful statistical analysis. I also think the "Chiefs don't use analytics" article you're referencing was a poor example of applying analytics to break out something or review it. Salfino is good, but calling Butker a bad kicker based on 2022 (and not his full-career sample) or talking about bad roster construction while citing Brown and Clark without talking about the good work in the rest of the roster, the analytical decision to spread the Tyreek Hill money/resources to a deeper WR room and improvements elsewhere (I mean, analytics got big in baseball because a smart front office figured out how to replace an expensive star with less expensive parts).
