David Lesky writes about how the Royals’ mindset could change now that they are in a sprint towards the post-season.
The point of a sprint to the finish is so many decisions made with more than just today in mind are no longer about more than just today. Again, it’s not a total reversal of strategy in making moves, but it is the idea of utilizing off days and an ability to change that chart above for the better every single day. Dairon Blanco pinch running in the middle innings might need to happen. Defensive replacements in the seventh instead of the ninth make sense during this stretch.
