June 2, 201015 yr When Kotsay is going bad, it's brutal to watch him hit. Like somebody said in the game thread, long at bats mean nothing unless you finish it with a hit. Somebody in the game thread said he definitely doesn't look hitterish right now. He had a miserable game.

He had a miserable game. Hey, apparently I was highly quotable yesterday. Kotsay's 4 for 29 with RISP this season, worst on the club he really has no business batting in a run producer's slot in the order. That hot streak also appears to be over; he no longer looks confident at the plate like he did when he was red hot and he's now 2 for 20 over his last 5. For me the biggest disappointment with Kotsay has been his baseball IQ: he's easily been one of our dumbest players this season, not what you'd expect from a guy who's been in the league for 14 years and careers the label "scrappy vet".

It must take a 28 pitch at-bat bat before his dangerousness leads to a basehit.
