oh cool

we have 28 HR's on the year

only 29th in the majors

at least we have more power than the Miami Marlins and their $10M payroll!

Lorenzo Cain is a piece of shit too. **** him, get him out of here

I never would have guessed in a million years this offense would have been so amazingly pathetic.

I don't even think it's on Ned at this point. Who are the ****ing coaches developing these assholes? We must have the most inept coaching staff from top to bottom (majors to minors) in baseball.

It's horrendous. I mean...this just doesn't happen to anyone.

I was waiting for your over-the-top post.


And there it is.......

Have they fired Dayton yet?

Here's the thing, though - the Cardinals have only hit 40 and came into this game with only 37 on the season. The Cardinals aren't full of power hitters; they're full of patient line-drive hitters.

The Royals are 29th in baseball in HRs, the Cardinals are 27th. Hell, the Cardinals are in the bottom 1/3 in SLG%, even though they hit a ton of doubles.

This perfectly illustrates how completely ****ed up Ned Yost's approach to this season has been - it's NEVER about the HRs.

The Cardinals are among the league leaders in runs scored (3rd in the NL) because they get on base. The Cardinals are 4th in baseball in OBP and that's without the benefit of the DH. The Royals have simply never given a **** about OBP and it's reflected in everything they do.

Yost absolutely botched this and even though I like the guy as a manager, he needs to be fired for what he's done to this lineup. And really, Moore probably should be as well because of the clear lip-service he's paid the patience of his organization.

I've just never seen anything like this.

so many top, can't miss prospects

and none of them develop

it's coaching...top to bottom

That's what i said before, we seem to have balsa wood bats!

And, if these clowns ever do learn how to hit, that'll be the year after we trade them...

Have you seen him swing out of his shoes on every at bat? The guy is going down the toilet with the rest of these losers.

How did he not get fired after that huge losing streak last year?

Way to swing at ball 4 and take strike 3 hos...

So hosmer swings at ball 4 and looks at strike 3

If they love the game like they say they do, I sure think you're right. They're waking up, it's in the water, so they'll never win here.

The least blame goes to the young guy batting near .300 on the year. EVERYONE is slumping.

I've been saying that for a while. SOOOOOOOOO true!
