You know, Walker sometimes just drives me nuts. He works with Uribe in 2004, Uribe goes insane. He works with Crede in 05, Crede goes insane, but Uribe and Rowand both fall apart. Works with Crede, but Anderson can't figure things out, and Uribe gets even worse.
Somehow he keeps having these hitters just suddenly make massive improvements, but he just can't keep them staying consistent. ARGH!
I just think our expectations are the problem. There's too much blame being placed on the hitting coach IMO. I can't think of a team that's knocking on all cylinders for an entire season. The season's long, and unless your name is Albert Pujols, you're going to have slumps to go with the good times.
