Thing I kind of think of is everyone thought Micheal Barret couldn't hit either. He was hitting like .185 with the Spoes and now he is hitting a lot better now. Who knows Ben could start hitting now that he is in a new enviornment and all that. Plus if he is given some regular playing time he may hit as well. I guess we will see eh?

I agree, and the thing is they are both young only 27.

I said something about their scary comparisons months ago. It's pretty weird that both can come out of that same boat.. :o ;)

He may have to hit .400 to do so  :lol:

 

Well let's see. He would have to hit 20 hits in 40 at bats to get to .300 that would be 30 hits in 100 AB's

 

If he gets 15 hits in 39 he'll be hitting .250

 

10 in 30 ab's gets him the Mendoza line :lol:

He's hittin .250 as a Southsider. I'll be more than happy with that.

That's not walkers philosiphy that's the hitters philosiphy.  It's been the same throughout the Von Joshua, Gary Ward, and Grege Walker regime's, I think it's time to stop blaming the hitting coaches.

Well if it isn't his philosophy, then he sure does stink at getting them to buy into whatever he's selling. Coaching is more than just having a method, successful implementation (read: buy-in) is just as important.

Our last 3 hitting coaches with this crop of players haven't been able to get through to them. Hitting coaches can only do so much, you can't change who these players are. It's not walks fault, it wasn't Joshua's fault, and it wasn't ward's fault, they just got blamed when the players were and are the people to blame.

Wow, that was very well said. I agree with you 100%. No one is going to be able to turn around a hitters mentality. That has to be done by the hitter himself.

Yeah you hardly ever see a pitching coach go for some reason. Didn't Nardi get canned in the middle of the season?

Damn you tell, had to move your question, I just posted my response in the other thread. :headshake :lol: Anyways, yes nardi was canned in the middle of the season but I think we all can agree that he was a moron.

Obviously a change of scenery was in need for him. If he's hitting .250 here and was under .100 there he must be happier to be in Chicago.

i dont think hitting .250 in roughly 30 at bats is too special, but lets wait and see
