Especially when our hitters refuse to take walks. I think our offense would be much better if we had better discipline at the plate and took a few walks. We swing at too many pitches out of the zone to help the oppositions pitching. It's been a problem with the Royals for years that they are not selective enough at the plate imo. [Reply]
If management isn't willing to get the players it needs to at least try and right this ship (one outfield bat and at least ONE DECENT relief pitcher), then I suspect this is going to be our high water mark for the season.
It's like "Well, we improved. You should be happy."
I don't want just improvement. I want to compete, dammit! [Reply]
