vs. ROYALS, 8/26

And then a lead off double for the Royals

You've been saying that for a few weeks.

Are there ANY major leaguers who "choke up on the bat" and have success? Who are they?

Hunter Pence?

Harry Dean Stanton?

I understand Cueto has electric stuff. But why not coach these players to choke up on a bat and at least put a freaking ball in play? Paredes is a walking strikeout and has been for 6 weeks. He of all people needs to figure out how to shorten his swing.

So you are saying this is on the hitting coach. You may very well be right.

They know they only need a run or two to beat us.

They must feel sorry for us, giving away outs and all.

And my prediction comes true... sadly.

Hunter Pence?

Ok, I guess he does sometimes. Did a little googling and Joey Votto was mentioned too, which surprised me.

Still, its pretty rare. If it was with doing, you'd think a lot more guys would be doing it.

I still think it is unlikely to be a cure-all for our hitting woes.

Game over lol.

Is it possible for any OF on our team to NOT bobble a ball? It has happened a half dozen times in about a week.

And that is why you don't give away an out to move a guy to third with no outs.

This team is so disgusting.

Oh my gosh

A dang good play by Davis. But Chen didn't get to 1st in time. And great hustle by the hitter
