THINGS THE 2015 KC ROYALS TAUGHT ME.
90 feet at a time
steal bases
Swing at the ball on the first up, even though everybody knows you're going to.
Sacrifice an out for a run.
.366 is the best batting average ever.
Have a deep bullpen.
Run for the grass past the 1st base line.
Hit the fast balls.
Change up the pitcher--and the pitches.
Home runs are rare and special.
Have fun.
Hit the wall to catch the ball.
Take a chance and see what happens.
Pressure busts the pipe.
If you hold something down, it'll grow sideways.
"The beauty of baseball is that it's a very long grind and over time, it tends to reward the people who do the small stuff right and punish the people who can't be bothered with the fundamentals."

"It was realizing that at that point in the game, you have to take a chance. You have to be aggressive. That's how we've been all year. We don't play the normal style of baseball, according to most people."

"Show up ready to go tomorrow."
[after a blow-out loss to the Rangers--sorry to have to bring that up, Ned]
"NY team shut down by a gaggle of boulder-nutted young studs from Flyover USA, please more of this forever."
