Terry Bradshaw is out as hitting coach and Alec Zumwalt and Mike Tosar are in as the Royals try to get the offense on track. Will they address pitching next?
I have wondered for a while if the hitting coaches that turned things around in the minors would make their way to the majors. Question answered.
So the next question: who are the disciples of these 3 hitting gurus that are now working in the minor leagues day to day to keep the message consistent and the pipeline of hitters continuing?
The problem is Dayton and Matheny, throwing up the roadblocks to keep Pratto and Vinny from coming up and getting regular at bats, because they (sadly or laughingly or grossly incompetently?) favor Santana and O'Hearn and because, on the pitching side, they continue to enable Eldred. We have all the great young hitters and pitchers we need, but need the coaches for them. Thank God we now have that for the hitters, but need it for the pitchers as well. Please step in, Mr. Sherman, give the reins to JJ, making it clear that he needs to do as good of a job with the pitching coaches as the hitters, and turn him loose with orders to get it done soon. There are plenty of good pitching coaches out there, just not on our team. How about getting the one that stop blocking Jacob Junis from being a consistently good pitcher with us, but turned him loose to do that with San Francisco.
