George Brett Hasn't Fixed The Royals

So says Sam Mellinger:

Look: the Royals were 21-29 overall and 4-19 over the previous 3 1/2 weeks before Brett was hired.
And look: they are now 28-32 overall and 7-3 since he was hired.
Magic!
Brett fixed the team!
His aura and his awesomeness have fixed the Royals, turned them (back?) into something resembling a playoff team!
Except not really. I referenced this in Sunday’s column, but …
Look: the Royals were hitting .261 with a .314 on-base and .375 slugging percentage while averaging 4.0 runs before Brett was hired.
And look: the Royals are hitting .236 with a .303 on-base and .325 slugging percentage while averaging 3.5 runs in 10 games with Brett.
The one major improvement — and this is reaching — is that the Royals have scored four or more runs in six of 10 games with Brett. Before Brett, they scored that many in 19 of 50 games. Four runs seems to be the Royals’ magic number^, so this is a big deal if they can keep it up....There is one major stat that’s improved with Brett’s arrival. The Royals had a 3.82 team ERA before he was hired, and an absurd 2.02 team ERA since. Maybe Brett’s awesomeness is rubbing off on the pitchers. Makes as much sense as crediting Billy Butler’s barbecue sauce.

I don't know.  Anybody who would tell this story to other people has to be pretty awesome (NSFW, but hilarious):
