May 29, 20188 yr Three curveball strikeout for Sano. He's looking very overweight, pretty sure that month-long layoff didn't help.
May 29, 20188 yr Buxton base hit and Dozier tries to hit it into the stratosphere and pops out. That's the general direction of the stratosphere........ . But he came up short.
May 29, 20188 yr Has buxton tried to steal since being hurtHe's only been on base like 3 times since he got back. But yeah I believe he stole a base against Detroit last week.
May 29, 20188 yr The batting order and the batting averages makes me shudder. What can be done to jumpstart the offense.
May 29, 20188 yr The crowd is really quiet in Kansas City. Those blue seats are known to be soft spoken but very knowledgable baseball fans...
May 29, 20188 yr Author The batting order and the batting averages makes me shudder. What can be done to jumpstart the offense. Dozier has to stop trying to pull the outside pitch Sano has to stop swinging at pitches out of the zone Buxton needs to level his swing out for better contact. Morrison needs to lay down a couple of bunts against the shift to loosen things up. Garver needs to play more than Wilson Falvey and Lavine has to provide alternatives that Molitor will play on occasion in case these guys don't do what they need to do.
May 29, 20188 yr The batting order and the batting averages makes me shudder. What can be done to jumpstart the offense.The only thing that can be done is to hope the guys playing start hitting. Or maybe a statement move like firing Molitor or the hitting coach.

May 29, 20188 yr The batting order and the batting averages makes me shudder. What can be done to jumpstart the offense.Dozier, Sano and Morrison should hit lower in the order.

May 29, 20188 yr Author The only thing that can be done is to hope the guys playing start hitting. Or maybe a statement move like firing Molitor or the hitting coach. Firing is a little extreme but I would like Molitor to not be so willing to ride it out.
May 29, 20188 yr Dozier, Sano and Morrison should hit lower in the order. Petit and LaMarre should play more.KeplerRosarioEscobarGarverMorrisonGrossmanSanoPetitLaMarre or Buxtonyeah that's not a bad idea. I'd move those three down, too, but that means moving guys up who don't deserve to be up there. I'd bat Buxton 6th or 7th, not sure why. When he's on base, he affects the game, and batting him 9th assures he'll have the least chances to get on base. Not that he's getting on base much now. Also, I'd hope Mauer comes back soon, although that's not likely.
May 29, 20188 yr Buxton can't get on base. His OBP is .186. That's a joke if you want him hit 6th/7th.
May 29, 20188 yr Junis gets a lot worse when he faces the lineup for the third time. His pitch count is a bit lower than ideal, but as long as Lynn keeps pitching well, this looks promising.
May 29, 20188 yr The crowd is really quiet in Kansas City. I mean, oof, this matchup, can you blame them?
May 29, 20188 yr Also, Buxton puts a lot of GBs in play. It's a joke if he wants to be an All-star. Edited May 29, 20188 yr by twinsbaby

May 29, 20188 yr If Sano wasn't 300 pounds he would've gotten to that ball.He is another overhyed player in the world. Terrible defense and contact, no speed.
May 29, 20188 yr Why wasn't Escobar on the shortstop side? We've seen the shift where Sano is on the 2B side and Escobar is on the shortstop side by himself. That's an out if Escobar is on the shortstop side.
