Also, the guy he is replacing, Gavin Maloof, said last week that "there is just no reward (for us) to try and hit home runs."

Also, Cubs pitcher Travis Wood has as many homers in the last 2 weeks as the entire Royals lineup.

Royals baseball :blessed:

Reminds me of Dusty Baker saying base runners clog up the base paths :heh:

"worst thing he can do is hit a home run here, would kill the rally if you clear the bases"

No one is going to be pissed about hitting a homerun but there is truth to this. Baserunners put a lot of stress on the pitcher and the defense. Look up the numbers. With runners on base, just about everyone hits a lot better because guys are having to cover bases and it opens more holes.
