Asking for y’alls opinion.

Probably an awful idea asking for some people’s opinion on this board but just was curious. My big problem here is RISP hitting.
What percentage (%) would y’all say the awful RISP hitting is on coaching and what percentage would y’all say is on the players not being able to show up in the big moments?? (50-50%)?
Are we at a point where it has been so bad that everyone is trying so hard to be that guy that it’s negatively effecting them? It’s easier to relax when you know the guy behind you is going to preform if you don’t

ETA: It’s amazing the amount of baseball experts that don’t recognize a Yogi Berra rip-off reference. DV away

The guys look like they don’t know where the strike zone is, honestly.
They’re swinging at everything but the ones down the middle just below the belt.

Taking a perfect 3rd strike drives me crazy

It’s a legitimate problem but one that is inherently uncoachable. Like it or not it’s way more luck than it is anything else. Stats tend to back that up.

I read this and didn't see the ETA because it was off the screen and thought Yogi immediately.
I may have shared this before but my favorite Yogi Berra story is him telling a waiter when asked if he wanted his pizza sliced into 6 or 8 slices that he had better make it 6 slices because he didn't know if he was hungry enough to eat 8

Idk, I would expect it to not vary too far from normal batting average. I think some of it is luck, and to a smaller extent concentration in higher stress situations.
I don’t think Jay is telling them to swing at balls, or don’t swing on a 2 strike count or GIDP, but you also can’t just shrug it off and say oh well that’s just baseball either.
Ultimately I don’t think there is any coaching that makes you specifically better at hitting with RISP, the coaching is just situational hitting regardless of runners.

I really think this is the answer. Baseball is not a game that trying harder works. Offensively, it’s a game of failure. You have to be able to relax & let the training take over. I posted this in another thread:
In the immortal words of Crash Davis, “Let’s have some fun out here. This game is fun OK. FUN GOD DAMMIT”.

That guy was a quote machine. It's amazing to me that the younger dudes have no idea, but are easily full of opinions and take themselves so seriously.
It's the same with the Who's on First? bit that the board has come around on recently, but I remember posting a response to a thread titled, "Who's pitching tomorrow?" and responded "No, Who's on first" and got like 3 immediate downvotes. Same with this thread. Chill TF out and know some baseball history.
