Yost lost us a game the other night when he brought Davis in on his first day back from rehab. We had that game won if he had stuck with Herrera as the closer and let Davis get his feet back on the ground in a less stressful situation.

We won last night but it highlighted a basic flaw the team as a whole has exhibited the last few weeks. Detroit starter had 15 of 17 first pitch strikes to hitters. We let 14 of them go by with no swings. Hitters are always behind in count. Been that way for a long stretch. My question is what role does hitting coach actually play on Royals when he can't seem to straighten out any of the hitters who are clearly in trouble? We need Kevin Seitzer back!!!
