Since this could be Yosts last year who would you want to be the next manger of the Royals?

Personally, I define a "sweep" as where you win every game in a series that is at least 3 games. So this is either a 4-game sweep, or there was no sweep at all in my book, depending on how important the road/away split is

I think Ned said that next year would be his last year.

I will say ... those computer simulations for team wins are about the most pointless thing in the world ... as evidenced by EVERYTHING that has happened so far this year.
KC / Minnesota / TB / New York / Toronto / Houston / Texas and then on the flip side Cleveland / Seattle / Detroit / Boston I can't pretend to know much about a lot of these other teams but when PECOTA and Vegas O/U came out with 72 and 80.5 it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I knew this team was a lock for 90. I predicted 94. 72?! |

... but we can't pretend that we have solved baseball with stats, and anyone who acts like we have will look silly. Also, the saber folks have already calculated before this season started how very large the error bars are for these projections (but thats never emphasized because thats not interesting). They are so large that we can generally predict that a team projected to be "terrible" won't be good, and a team projected to be "good" won't be terrible, but thats it. If the projections say near .500 for you, then you could land anywhere in the standings. The biggest problems are defense and young players. Once we nail those down (if that is ever possible) then the projections might become more accurate. This season's Royals team should actually be very valuable to the owners of those projections, after this season is over they will be able to lift the hood, look at their model vs the Royals, and wonder why they were so terribly wrong and adjust for future seasons.

You might be able to pin down the metrics that correlate to the success that a team such as the Royals have attained.. but there are 29 other franchises that might not necessarily be aiming for the same things that are reflected in the metrics which you trot out as the reason why a team like the Royals are having success.

Tell you what, it was pretty cool being part of 36k+ on a Thursday in June on feet cheering when Davis was getting out of that jam.
