that and ned inexplicably using nix and downs when he had far better options
those were the least of the questionable judgements. i'm not even sure those were questionable. letting moose hit against lefties twice in important bats was ludicrous.
Even having nix on the roster is questionable let alone playing him.
i don't know why they wanted him on the roster. if they're going to have him, they should have used him defensively, but ph willingham for him when he came up.
but then, they should have already ph willingham for moose, putting in colon on defense, so they would have had to use nix at 1st anyways when they pr butler.
Willingham is having issues with his back & that is why he didn't hit. Nix is a good defensive player from what I have heard (but hits like crap). Dayton Moore wanted Nix on the roster before Sept. 1st so he is eligible for the postseason roster (dear God why would we want Nix if we make it to the postseason?). What is sad in order to make room for Nix they sent Colon down to AA NW Arkansas & Colon will be back with the Royals on Tuesday.
There is no doubt that the reason we lost is the offense not coming through with men in scoring position but Dayton Moore & Yost also played a part in it as well. Why pitch Scott Downs? He is a lefty specialist that sucks now & Yost let him pitch to a right handed batter who hit a triple. The Royals are in a pennant race, Herrera threw only 16 pitched in the 10th, why couldn't he go 1 more inning?
