So far, new hitting coach Merv Rettenmund and a new manager have done little to improve two major weaknesses: at-bats with runners in scoring position, and disciplined hitting in general. The team was 3-for-18 with runners in scoring position in back-to-back losses in Minnesota, and scored only three runs on 14 hits Saturday. Hitters too often ignore scouting reports and tendencies from other pitchers.
