I'm not ready to blame him for our hitting woes and wondering why he hasn't fixed everyone in 5 months. I think we just have a lot of mediocre/flawed/bad hitters. At the majors level, a hitting coach is more for the day-to-day tweaks and consistency of mechanics, not really wholesale fixes of bad batters, as that's what the minors is for.

Nice job by Barlow getting out of that.

Hey thanks good call, and good info! I just assumed whoever it was has been around a while. We know what assuming does.
