Sunday was the most productive day the Royals have had with runners in scoring position in over a week and they take two of three from the Red Sox. It's a reminder that winning baseball is fun!
During the Saturday game, I questioned the reasoning behind playing Dozier in left and Merrifield in right. What game experience has Dozier had playing LF? It looked like he ran a bad route that led to Dalbec’s triple.
Yeah...Dozier hasn't played much in left. Now just 40 innings in his major league career. It was a strange defensive alignment, but I think it was just them wanting Alberto to face the lefty starter.
He did get turned around on the Dalbec triple, but thought the bounce was about as bad as it could possibly be. But this brings up a good point...no matter where the Royals have put Dozier in the field this year, he's really struggled. He needs a reset button for 2021.
