He is an excellent hitter. I have no idea why it took so long for him to figure it out. It sounds to me like he was adjusting to the pitchers throwing him more off-speed pitches; the pitchers adjusted back to throwing fastballs and Kins never did adjust back. After this, I would hope he will be able to make the transition more quickly next time. Kinsler will be fine. He is an excellent hitter. I have no idea why it took so long for him to figure it out.

BUT... He should watch Pudge take BP and pay close attention to every at-bat of his in this series. It'll be a re-education on how to hit to the opposite field.

I think his problem has been he is swinging for the fences and not just going with the pitch and driving it. I would rather see some doubles.

Last night doesn't change my opinion that Kinsler would be better served batting 5 or 6th in the lineup. Thank goodness for the Astros being in town.
