Hughes, CC & Pettitte have been pitching like shit. Cano & several other are hitting like shit So please tell me again why the Yankees are paying Long & Rothchild.
I think I have more of a problem with Rothchild. I don't see any adjustments which may not be his fault. I think Andy is done. I feel CC needs a spring training to re-invent himself. Hughes's problem is himself. He refuses to throw the 2 seamer. So that's it. You can't fix old and stupid
Kuroda hasn't needed help & Nova has been great since he came back up. So whatever his improvement has been he fixed it while he was in rehab.
How many are getting the Chicago feed tonight. Stone and Hawk were talking Yankees. Then the questioned turned to farm systems. The question, how many teams have productive farm systems right now? The next was how many have a pitcher and a catcher? Stone said 4, Hawk 5. Both said none to the second.
I'm just picturing Cano & Long in the film room looking at tapes. Long: Okay Robbie now see the way your..... Cano: Yo Kev, jew got any tequila mang? Long: Yeah Robbie but then back to the films. Long: Now look at your swing here, I think if you..... Cano: Yo Kev, jew gots any chips? Long: C'mon Robbie you have to take this seriously. Cano: Yo Kev, I don need to do nuttin, ing goin to get mucho denero por my skippy to da bases. To be continued.
At this point when I see Rothchild go out to the mound its become nothing but window dressing. Pettitte is done & Rothchild is no help to anyone.
immmmmmmm yea okay milton why dont you just move yourself down to the basement and immmmmmmmmmm yea get yourself a can of raid and immmmmmmmmmmm yea take care of the roach problem we have yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! WHAT DA FOOK rick how the fook is it long and rothchilds problem????????? did rothchild implement the joba rules that fooked up joba?? did he pull hughes hammy in his first appearance vs texas, memeber no hitter , who has never been same sinc who flat out sucks........ as far as the hitters go they all suck!!! and thats on the man in charge.. JOSEPH GIRARDI....... get with it man!!!!!!!
Girardi isn't the one swinging the bat... he isn't the one throwing the ball... get over your Girardi obsession!
Oh that's right, I almost forgot you're the ex super jock that use to play for the.......oh wait that's right you never said who you played for. Or ever what league or what year. You're MLB career is like an area 51. But hey who the hell am I to question a gold glove batting champion MVP like you. Sooooo, share with the rest of the class & tell us EXACTLY what is the job of a hitting coach & a batting coach? You see we don't have the 1st hand knowledge that you do & we do so want to learn. So the floor is yours.
ex super jock????? still kickin arse bro on all fields of play.... dude i'm an athlete, what u r seeing today is a joke! guys that could fly, guys that are 6'4... the real athletes are being completely overlooked and thats why all these players today suck are on peds ..
there are 2 very important aspects of this game.... coaches strategy, and players execution.. so why does girardi get a pass? u telln me every game you watch joe has a plan and the players fail at executin it, or are the players up at plate swingin out of their tucasses tryin to hit long ball every AB cause he doesn't have one.... and, would you be startin hughes ???????
C'mon Mr. baseball you still haven't shared with the class. EXACTLY what is the function of a hitting coach or a pitching coach.? I'll wait.
Girardi has his faults... but the poor performance of this team cannot be attributed to him... the fact that he has managed to keep this rag tag group of scrubs in the hunt for as long as he did was quite remarkable actually... the poor performance of this team is squarely on the shoulders of the players... now ownership and the GM could have put together a better cast of characters, but you can't blame this team on Girardi... that is just stupid
Excellent post Hammer. As far as the EXACT function of a hitting coach & a pitching coach, I guess Mr. Uecker will never let us know.
