He was throwing off speed junk to try to get the last two hitters out because his arm was dead. This ain't on Paulino, it was Ned's job to get him out of there and he didn't. Again. This manager is a big part of the problem.

Contrary to popular belief, having Sal Perez would matter very very little. Dude isn't a .300 hitter. He'd probably hit like .260, but provide a little better D. I know Broxton had that one bad game, but I don't think Soria would have done that much better.

and i think perez is better than .260, definitely not what he showed last season, he had a decent amount of AB's but id say around .280

That last AB had nothing to do with Seitzer. That was all Hosmer being a stupid young kid. Butler was guilty of the same thing.

True. But I am speaking more big picture and that doesn't change that everyday we hear how they are working on his swing. I don't think there was ever anything wrong with it, it was just that he needed to understand the situations better and change his approach accordingly.

That pitch on Butler was a really good pitch. Tough one to lay off of. Should have done so but it was a good pitch.

I know, but if I was Butler, I would've been thinking, "if there's even a little tilt in this pitch, I'm taking it". It seemed like Butler made up his mind early about swinging no matter what and tried adjusting to the break. Big whiff.

Yeah it did look that way. He also should have known that a walk to him isn't a horrible thing for Floyd at that point. Floyd knows that Billy is his last batter no matter what with Hos coming up next. You give Butler anything decent you give up two runs at least whereas a walk only gives up one with the next batter being a struggling Hosmer who was assuredly going to face a lefty specialist.

I got another Royals shirt recently and I decided on a t-shirt jersey and was debating between Hosmer and Moose...I got Moose :)

I hope I didn't jinx Hosmer. I've said all along that he was the prospect that couldn't fail. He's failing right now, albeit a smallish sample size, but can't really say it's nothing though.

Good thing about Hosmer is his fielding never goes in a slump. At Mother fucking worse he is J.T. Snow
