Some bad decisions today.
-Starting Barger in LF in his first MLB game. This team is so hellbent on not playing guys in both corner OF spots. Schneider only plays LF and Biggio only plays RF, for example. They finally break that mold today for the one guy they shouldn't (a rookie in his first game who has never played LF) and it bit them in the ass.
-Not pinch hitting for Vogelbach with Turner in the 6th inning. The Royals would have went to the bullpen but Turner vs a righty is better than Vogelbach against a lefty (who hasn't had a hit against a lefty in over a year and a half). I think they went with Vogelbach because Zerpa sucks and was wild but Vogelbach looked so overmatched. Flailed wildly on an 84 mph hanger right down the dick to K.
