And now, Soler is going to bat 2nd. :eek:

They gave Gutierrez a shot. It's pretty clear he isn't an every day guy or answer. Now it looks like they're moving on.
(I'd expect him to clear waivers, BTW, and eventually be assigned back to Omaha or something like that). Could see Pratto and Witt promoted to Omaha now, if Rivera sticks. |

That's a Matheny decision all the way. Anyone who followed his time with the Cards can confirm that. |
Honestly it's not the craziest thing they've done. Soler at least takes walks. If he started to hit at all, his OBP would be above league average. Maybe Whit getting on base in front of him will get him some fastballs to look at.

Meanwhile, we have a guy named Lopez sitting in the 8 hole who's been making solid contact, currently has an .352 OBP, and is willing to do the little things. If we wanted to try something 'crazy', why not move Nicky up there and see how he does. At least you could justify that move. But Matheny and stuff . . . . . . |

Soler has also been atrocious against anything that's not a fastball. Not that he's been great anywhere but 55 of his 80 Ks are on pitches other than fastballs. Maybe getting Whit on base ahead of him might help him see more decent fastballs to hit early in counts. It might not work at all, but right now the whole second half of the order is a vacuum and they need to try something else. |
We need to find out who decided to play KG everyday the last 6 weeks. “I’m gonna put Dayton on the stand”

On Soler and Salvy all you have to do is get ahead in the count then throw them sliders low and away and both guys will strike themselves out at least once or twice every game. Can't tell you how many times Salvy has struck himself out on ball four this season. Dozens. Dozier and Taylor will strike out a couple times each looking. Won't even get the bat off the shoulder.

The Royals are actually 10th as a team in MLB in batting average right now. That's ****ing nuts.
