The Dodgers come up one series short of a four-peat as the Astros clinch their first World Series since 2022.
Kansas City Postseason Stats
Too many Royals bats went cold in the Astros series as the Royals got nothing from C, 1B, 3B, or SS. It was a disappointing end for the team that scored the most runs in baseball in the regular season with some big decisions to be made in the offseason.
The Royals arms failed to control the Astros but had excelled before that, as shown by the FIP- scores across the team. The four starters all turned in FIP- scores well below the average although with less impressive ERAs while the bullpen all gave up too many hits and walks to succeed.
Owner Goal Review
Team Record:
I told you before the season to win it all, and you at least made a strong push towards it. I am a little disappointed, and I know I push hard, but only because I know this team has the talent to make it that last step.
Extend your player:
It's no simple task signing a player who's reluctant to talk. Do your best to keep the conversation with Ethan Chafin going.
Acquire a player:
So you decided to ignore me when I asked you to find a good Hometown player? That's not really the way I envisioned our working relationship to function. Not good.
Long Term:
You made the playoffs. I had set out a longer vision to bring a championship to Kansas City by 2043, and that time isn't up yet. You do know it's been 26 years since this franchise has won? That may not be as bad as some teams, but I think the fans are starting to wonder when the next one will come.
I am good with your performance in accomplishing the goals I have given you. However, when I consider the on- and off-field success of the team, my overall mood with your performance is very happy.
