In a Scene That Has Become toO Common, Marlins Offense Horrifies in Loss

[Metes]

Man, if only Niner would spend more time with the whole lineup, they'd be hitting .400
--------------------
Who knew he had the anointing hands of Jesus Christ?

[Beef]

He prob does have more techniques.

[Metes]

If you're an ignorant fuck, yes.

I think it takes more of an ignorant fuck to think Jeff fuckin Conine has had any effect on Stanton whatsoever

[Bobbob1313]

I hate the "blame/praise the hitting coach" thing.

I'm not saying they have no impact, but I think it's probably way overstated.

[Beef]

Unless they've got more techniques.

[Metes]

Yeah, a good hitting coach should have loads of 'em

[Jay]

I think at this level of play the hitting coach doesn't need techniques he just needs to watch video to identify problems.

[Mainge]

Eduardo hasn't done shit in his year here. I'm sure Niner knows a lot more techniques than him too. You can thank Niner for the batting average that Stanton has put up.

Why can we thank Niner for that?

[Beef]

Conine told him to hit to the opposite field in batting practice. Or Conine asked why he wasn't hitting the ball oppofield anymore. Or both!


... and don't sweat the techniques

Oh for fucks sake.

Something irks me about our hitting coach never even lasting a full season in the majors.

[Beef]

I hope we can pluck Kevin Long from the Yankees.

Maybe Scott Coolbaugh is getting sick of Texas

[HUGG]

performance as a player has nothing to do with success as a coach

And, for the record, Perez spent all of 97, 98, 02-06 in the majors. He was a platoon/bench player.
--------------------
I bet Braves fans used to be super pissed that Leo Mazzone never made it to the majors as a pitcher.
--------------------
Also, if they fired Perez, I bet they replace him with Wes Helms.
