Explain.

What exactly is it that Alex Gordon lacks as a 3-hole hitter?

Royals broadcast comparing Sal Perez to Molina. LMAO

I think Hosmer and Moose have let Ned get in their head. Yeah, I rhymes, big whoop.

Seriously though. Ned was talking about these guys hitting for power and I think they believe they have to every time at the plate. Both of them are showing blatant signs of trying to kill the ball with every swing. Hosmer on occasion gets smart and goes the other way but when he pulls it he always hits a ground ball.

Just seems like they are trying to live up to the hype instead of hitting a solid line drive and let the bat do the work.

none

He needs to quit trying to knock the cover off of the ball..that would help a lot

Without question.

Ned Yost's focus on hitting bombs this season has really ****ed these guys up. I just do not understand what he was thinking with that approach.

Bit light on power.

Love the doubles, but this year has also been a bit of a mirage to this point because his BABIP is .400.

Put him at one or two and I like his production exponentially more than at three.

just hope it's not because his bat speed just isn't good enough


because if that is it then his batting isn't ever going to get much better

Give French credit...he didn't K

Frenchy has 10 RBIs...on the year....literally.

You haven't heard MLB power hitters talk about how they go to the plate looking for a home run?

Frenchy is a sack of ****, but the above statistic is meaningless.

How so?

Dyson
Cain
Gordon
Butler
Hosmer
Moose

but hard to do anything like that when Moose and Hosmer suck shit

I don't think it's bat speed. I think it's bad mechanics. Long swings if anything. The old cliché rings true, keep your hands inside the ball. Hosmer is getting out front and rolling over which I tend to say is caused by trying too hard to pull it and too hard of a swing.

Moose on the other hand is hitting a lot of pop ups which again is swinging to hard and getting off plane. When Moose does turn on it he turns with great power but it is too inconsistent.

Sometimes the best thing to do is "see ball, hit ball" and just focus on squaring up the bat on the ball and just hit it hard wherever you hit it.

When you can't even do that then you're not going to have success trying to pull it with authority.
