re: Javi gets a bad wrap. Why do people hate him so much?

quote:

Because he isn't a good hitting coach and he was given that job with zero experience instead of going out and finding the best hitting coach we could find. Turns out, he's Mainieri's godson, weird.

You got it down there accurately.

So many of the Pumpers just love to spew out the "H" word. I don't think anybody actually hates Sanchez. Dude just isn't that good of a hiting (Or base running) coach. Got the job and keeps the job because of the entire Buddy Buddy thing. (Not going to say the entire BBQ BBQ thing) A program of this stature deserves much better. Mainieri went out and hired a great pitching coach in Dunn, but is still playing the "Baseball Tepper" two step with Javi. Let's see what happens the rest of the year.
