Royals hitters getting clowned by a rookie pitcher. A tale as old as time.

Disagree on the effect of coaches, especially pitching coaches. It’s kind of like a manager. There are only a few who truly make a huge difference. But the bad ones can make their players a lot worse. Take a bad pitching coach, for example, who scoffs at using advanced stats or analytics in working with his group. Who stresses the importance of locating fastball down. Who doesn’t catch it when his guys are tipping pitches, who doesn’t have a feel for how to calm them down and help them attack hitters That guy can really **** up a staff. Brent Strom is a great example of the difference a guy can make. Arizona has gone from awful to pretty good with him running the pitching staff. And it’s not the first time he has fixed a staff.

Singer seemed to pitch quick. That pitch clock in minors must have done the trick.

I’ve been saying for weeks we’re a fired hitting coach away from a championship run.

It seems like the third or fourth time Bull Dozier has been thrown out at the plate by a mile. Is he running through stop signs or is our 3rd base coach a gambling idiot?

I think it's that the offense has been so bad that the 3rd base coach has no faith in our hitters driving home a guy from 3rd so he's a windmill over there.
