Can TA pull the ball through a hole somewhere?

Really tired of double plays.

Guess not...

If Tim can't hit a line drive on those inside pitches he really shouldn't be swinging at them.

Tim very consistent not in an RBI type of way.

Tim becoming Alexei with the first pitch GIDP

My SoxMath for the Day....

TA + RISP = No Bueno

Every damn time 

Never thought I'd say this but I like Len better than Jason, so tired of Jason's stories. Len in his computer robot voice is sounding better all the time

Nice to see Jose this series return to his old form vs. KC. He killed them in the past. Jose is really putting together another Jose-like season despite the early month woes and some people doubting him. Eloy mania is back. If Eloy can stay healthy and get some help from hitting coaches, it's apparent he can hit.

TA with RISP pulls the ball 42% of the time when he puts the ball in play. When he pulls, he has hit it on the ground 20 out of 22 times. So yeah...it pretty much is every damn time whenever he pulls the ball with RISP. 

TA's pull rate with no runners on is around 26%. There is a clear change in approach whenever he hits with men on base.

He has no pull power. He's hit 4 fly balls to the pull side all season and he doesn't have a hit on any of them. The guy has a great approach and doesn't stick to it for whatever reason.

And the question remains does he even know he is doing it ? And if not maybe the analytics team can say something to someone who can tell him ?

Another hit for Vaughn.

Royals are back to being a minor league team. Amazing how this tank/contend thing works.

I'm starting to dislike him more than anyone, and I hate that I am feeling that way.

I should hate Moncada more but Moncada has been a prima-donna since he could not be bothered with second base. 

Anderson's antics have become insufferable and he seems incapable of handling the pressures he bestowed upon himself.  He should have a solid position batting ninth in the lineup and playing second base or CF.  His baserunning, defense and ability to hit with a man on base are discouraging. 

The organization seems to fear dealing with both he and Moncada.

Royals really don't want to go to the bullpen. Singer been getting hit pretty well all game, and he had a 1 hour rain delay in there too.

Eloy swinging a magic bat

Eloy with the magic wand lately

Eloy is on fire

Eloy with another hit.  Two straight 3 hit games and rapidly approaching .300

AV, Eloy and Jose are becoming quite a potent triple punch.

love the singles offense
