Ok, just for fun, how many ABs do you think he gets in that 4 months?

We may have forgotten, but a couple weeks ago, the Royals said they identified his problem (stepping into his swing too early, leading to weak popups) and were working on it.

It may be a coincidence, but in his last 10 games (I think, my math might be off) he's been batting .300/.400/.500

9/30, 2 doubles, 1 HR, 5 BBs. Went back to the last Detriot game.

Don't they care to fix Hosmer?

I know you're just trolling now, but have you seen how many balls Hos has hit HARD right at people lately?

No. I know he hasn't hit a single HR yet. If Ross Gload were doing this people would go nuts. Anyway pinetarpress has a good article on what's killing him. Inside pitches. He can't turn on them. Saps his power. Has to adjust.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that Hosmer still has work to do. Comparing him to Ross Gload is ****ing stupid though.

If Gload was doing this, I would say it's just Ross ****ing Gload.

Are you ready to admit that you were just pulling numbers out your ass regarding Moose? I'm not sure why I even waste my time engaging you.

Hey, let's give him some credit, he did propose platooning Salvy, after all.

I just scored 5 decent Upper Deck tickets to next Monday's game in Crapaheim for a total of $25 on StubHub. I am so pumped to get there and watch our Royals do work!

and give the pitchers a black eye if they fail

Then don't. I really don't care what you do, it's not going to change the fact these guys are in a slump that isn't temporary. It goes back to last year, and frankly it's been so long since they were even above-replacement level players. You can laugh it off and say it's ok for them (but not Gload) to produce like they are, but other Royals fans completely disagree.


Regardless I can guarantee you the FO is worried about it. They know they can't win if these two don't snap out of it quickly. Even DM admitted they were worried about this when he said they (FO & scouts) were split on whether to demote Hos last May.

Well what the mother**** is going on here?
