Great in-depth article on how badly the computer models fail with the Royals: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15...as-city-royals

Many stats define how great this bullpen has been. But it all comes back to this: When the Royals have led after eight innings over the past four seasons, they've gone 241-4. When they've led after seven, they've gone 211-10. So when you win pretty much every game in which you take a lead, over that many years, you're defying all probability and all norms of bullpen volatility

We know the Royals catch the ball. But they're more than just a Web Gem reel. They've led the major leagues with an incredible 196 defensive runs saved over the past four seasons, according to FanGraphs. No other team in the American League is within 132 of them! (Baltimore is second, with 64.)
