Been a tough year to suffer through. How many expected contributors have missed significant time?

Hosmer's been a wreck. Sanchez an unmitigated disaster. Gordon seems like he aged three years during the offseason. Francoeur is blocking Myers. Outside of Odorizzi, no pitching has made significant progress.
Yuni.
For a franchise that really could have used a two- or three-year period where things mostly go right...they haven't.
Yep, this pretty much sums it up (except Escobar hasn't been injured at all, unless I missed something today).
Last year, the Royals had hardly any injuries at all...the law of averages said it would turn ugly for them this season, and it certainly has.
Honestly, not much has gone right this season....outside of perhaps Moustakas having a big sophomore season.

Maybe I'm being forgetful, but I thought Escobar had a quick DL stint.

I don't think he's calling for all the bunts, Yost coaches a NL way. He needs to let some of players swing away in some bunting situations.

I don't know what to think of Seitzer. On one hand, Gordon, Hosmer and Melky last year and Moustakas and Escobar this year. On the other hand, Hosmer and Gordon this year.
My guess is Seitzer is not the problem, and firing him would do more harm than good.

I tend to agree....but like others have stated....somebody will be the scapegoat, and Seitzer is the obvious choice.

I judge hitting coaches on whether they make a impact on select players. Seitzer is a mentor for Gordon, Charlie Lau was a mentor for George Brett. There were plenty of players on the Royals squad in the '70's that failed at the plate, but Lau is remembered for Brett.
