Let's discuss the Royals pitchers hitting @AT&T park
 

Definately seems like it will work against us. So do we have any pitchers that are good hitters? So they just try and bunt every time?

How good of hitters are the Giants pitchers?

Ned Yost strategy here? He at least has experience managing in the NL



Discuss please......

Shields had a good outing earlier this year. I think that was at the K tho. Vargas is a slugger by NL pitching standards.

I'm not up to speed. Our pitchers are going to have to bat ?

pitcher always bat when in the NL ballparks.

As the game annoucers have said, this Royal team is built to play NL ball and with the Cyborg pen, our pitchers will only likely see 2 ABs a game, so things should work out alright.

Went 15-5 vs the shit league.

Haven't lost our last 8 road NL series

Guthrie is 0 for 7 lifetime at AT&T Park. Lifetime BA of .089
Vargas has never batted there, but has a lifetime BA of .262. No ABs since 2012 though.
Shields has also never batted there, and has a lifetime BA of .213. He did go 2 for 2 in a game against the Cards this year, including a double and a run scored.

The NL rules are the worst though. I can't believe people would rather watch those numbers above get more ABs than a DH.

Must have missed that game at the K when Shields had a strong hitting performance.

It may have been at Busch...not sure

It wasn't at the k.

They'll probably bunt a lot. Someone might actually get a hit.

The end.

It's just a strategy thing.

Easier strategy for planning pee breaks. "I could go now but we got the 8th hitter and the pitcher coming up so I'll wait for a bit."

Well later game strategy lol.

Pinch hitting, double switching, that kind of thing.

Vargas was a hitter in college. I wanna see him hammer one into the right field cove
