You know, I hate the squandered starts, but when I look at it, we are 6-9 in May with four games against the Astros ahead of us. I said I would be happy if we went .500 in May. It's still possible.

We were 7 games over .500 and today we probably hit the scratch .500 mark. Them Houston will expose us for how bad we really are

Royals fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer after last season and hired two guys to replace him. Big Head Ned said he wanted more homers this year. How is that going? Let's look at the three big bats: 1B Hosmer, 3B Moose, RF Fancouer: Hosmer so far: After 131 ABs: 244 average, 1 HR, 4 doubles. Moose: 4 HRs, is 1 for his last 28 and hitting below .200. Francouer: 1 HR, 4 for his last .36 ABs. Who has as many homers as Hosmer and Francouer? Getz, Johnson, Dyson, Cain, Perez and Kottaras. What does this mean? It means we're losing because we're scoring around 3 runs per game. Royals are 1-5 when ace pitcher James Shields gives up 2 or fewer runs. Royals were supposed to be built on speed and defense. The Royals are third worst in the AL in errors. This team's lack of slugging is mind boggling. The only guys who seem capable of hitting a ball out of the yard is Gordon and Butler. Everybody else has been punchless. You can't have two homers from your catchers, one from your right fielder, one from your center fielder and one from your first baseman with one quarter of the season gone. That's just unacceptable.

Teams reflect their coach. Is Ned the best manager we have had in eons? Yes. That says more about DM than anything. The best he could do was a Japanese League coach and a coach a team fired in the middle of a playoff run.

Ned should shower in his uniform. That'll be a tonic for the troops.

So whats wrong with our hitting? I don't know very much about baseball but most of our guys are top of the 1st round picks right? Shouldn't they be better then they are?

petegz28 05-19-2013 09:46 AM

Damn, just heard that on this current road trip, moose and hos are a combined 3-40

Moose should have been sent down weeks ago.

Mr. Laz 05-19-2013 10:12 AM

And why did they trade arguably the best player in the minors last year for a couple of pitchers (one good, one mediocre)......oh, so "we can develop". Makes sense to me I guess kinda
