KANSAS CITY -- Mired in a nine-game losing streak entering Monday and coming off a 7-16 April, the Royals' worst since 2012, manager Ned Yost isn't about to scream at any team meetings or toss any food spreads in a fit of anger.
"Do you want your boss screaming at you when things aren't going right and you're busting your [butt] and doing everything you can?" Yost said. "It doesn't help. It doesn't solve the issue. It prolongs it."
Yost said that because the Royals are a veteran group with a core that has won two pennants and a World Series title, there's no benefit in calling any team meetings.
