Hos has a great opposite field swing. No idea why he lets this shift get in his head

True, but he induced pretty weak contact. All you can really ask for.

That was a pretty ugly at bat for Hosmer.

Are the Royals playing a home game on the road?
It's at the K lol

Our "MVP" Morales has been slumping

Whelp... Burnett has his change working. He can probably throw that for the next 2 innings before we make an adjustment.

His opposite field power is just insane. Why he insists on swinging out of his shoes in attempting to drill the ball to right every g.d. pitch is beyond me.

Rios goading us on that ball 4 swing pretty much killed my optimism about a comeback. Burnett has been stellar this year. I'll give us 20% and that's probably optimistic

I've said this 1000x. Most just seem skeptical about it, but my mind is made up. Shields was a major head shrink for the rest of the staff.

San Diego isn't going to be in the playoffs. Any chance we can hire him as a "special advisor" for October?

At this point, if they want to neuter him look Moose and turn him into a .300 opposite field hitter to eliminate the shift, fine by me. I can't remember the last time Hos homered anyways

If I am thinking off of the top of my head, I believe it was the Red Sox series.




Like a month ago.

I've seen on this MB and heard from other folks he thinks his swing is fine and needs no adjustment... until he admits his swing is shit it will continue to be awful.

Yep. The last time our first baseman hit a home run was June 19th vs the Red Sox. Keep doing you, Hos.
