I think Rick Schu has equal blame in the downfall of this team as much as Melvin. I'm not sure what disciplines he is teaching this team but the off count swings and missed guesses are pathetic
*ding ding ding* We have a winner!!
Seriously though, the plate discipline of this team flat out sucks, and as much as Melvin wants to blame it squarely on the players, it's the hitting coach that is supposed to
teach them, and Schu is failing miserably; devilalum is correct in saying that Upton will probably be the talent we all thought he would be - - after he leaves the clutches of our coaching staff!
I know it's still early in the season, but the first few games have been
exactly like last year, so it isn't a new trend. Maybe winning the series against the Doggers will jumpstart the club, so my rant will be for nothing!
