It's highly likely that our hitting coaches suck, and I'm not just talking about the MLB ones.


All about philosophy. Ted Williams was way ahead of his time.

Not too very long ago, I was sitting in Wrigley for a WS game and their VP of Operations at their AAA Iowa team was sitting behind me, Nate Teut.

I was commenting on the ridiculous upswing that Kris Bryant had and all of the how and whys. He told me they were specifically teaching it to all of their hitters across the board. I told him they were taking crazy pills.

Of course your high contact rate is going to decrease. Even Williams preached swinging on the plane of the ball until you felt confident enough to slightly uplift

Bregman wanted and wants power. If he could hit oppo and center HRs, he would be league MVP. He can easily hit to all fields. He chooses to pull. Crawford or the Green Monster, no matter. Everything else is lip service. I thought he might change his approach after a big payday, but nah, not happening

Great job stranding Witt at third


These cocksuckers hate batting in the first inning

I'm not terribly impressed with Gordon's stuff. 91 mph fastball, not generating any chase on his sliders.

Sure sign that your team is ill-prepared when you’re this far into the season with historically bad 1st inning results

There is no execution of a plan. Leadoff base never gets to 2nd consistently. No situational hitting

Tuve randomly would attempt to bunt for a basehit all year last year, even with 2 outs. At a time when you know runs have been at a premium and you’re always playing from behind, why not now

Meyers works a 2-2 w several foul balls before his K, Dezenzo works a full count before his BB, so that Dubon can hit into a 1st pitch 6-4-3

frick you Joe, Cintron, et al

It makes ZERO sense

Totally unprofessional

Supposedly not a stuff guy. But if hes going to be a crafty lefty, hes got to have some kind of enticement to get off balance swings. I don't see how throwing 91 over the plate, not spotting corners and throwing a sweepy side to side slider without any break keeps guys off balance.

Brendan Rodgers cant you stop striking out so damn much. I don't need more Dubon in my life.

Not wasting my fingers on it

Pena gets on both times with no outs and you get a HR from ur 3 hole and it results in 1 run total

Hitting coaches are just mascots, according to some people who cover this team.
