That was a great win last night. I was at the game and it was fun to see the many Royals fans go home unhappy.
Lewis needs to be in there everyday. He is definitely taking better AB's, pitchers are trying to get him to chase that low outside pitch and for the most part he is not chasing. Eventually they are going to have start pitching him more. I was glad to see him get the hit in the ninth inning. He feeds off good vibes and hopefully helps him hit another gear.
If they want Caratini's bat in the lineup, it can't be at the expense of Lewis. Bell has been coming back to earth, sit him more if needed.
The play on Perez's single that scored their second run by Roden was not good. He took a poor route and did not aggressively go after it with Keaschall coming in behind. Not sure he could have gotten to it, but the effort did not look good.
Lewis really picked up Kreidler. That at bat by Kreidler was brutal, he saw one strike and was swinging at everything and the pitches were at his ankles.
They have to make a decision on Buxton, I know they want him in there, but they can't keep playing short handed. Call up Jenkins, now is the perfect time and maybe he might just add a needed spark to the lineup.
