Seems like a waste. <br /><br />If I hire someone to coach a group, that would be what I would expect him to do. <br /><br />Strategies are the managers responsibility, being trained to execute the strategy is the coach's responsibility. excuting the plan is the player's responsibility, and few of our hitter's take that resposnibility and actually do it in RISP situations. <br /><br />Easier to fire the hitting coach and at least pretend you care, than to just let it go. <br /><br />We do not agree on what the role is I can tell.<br /><br />However the get rid of Eck bus is alive and well (and has been for three years) at my house.

I don't think Eck is deciding who bunts and which guys take more pitches or choke up. I don't think it's his role. maybe it should be, but it isnt. <br /><br />Agree to disagreeSwift Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096815132015668857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-20093548844235626352012-05-18T22:42:31.649-04:002012-05-18T22:42:31.649-04:00Go at, the bunt attempts on balls that were way ou...Go at, the bunt attempts on balls that were way out of the zone - that was an at-bat that was beyond bad. He hit the DP ball hard, but he should have WALKED. That was pitiful, and Davey called Desi on it in the postgame. No, I'm not a Desi hater, but my 11 year old son knows to lay off pitches when the pitcher is struggling. And if the team needs a base runner (and always if the bases are loaded) he will let a wild pitch hit him. Sometimes, these Nats cannot think.ehay2khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441654620820540390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-4877711466853501112012-05-18T22:36:45.100-04:002012-05-18T22:36:45.100-04:00What a disappointing effort by a mass majority of ...What a disappointing effort by a mass majority of the team.

Even that doubleplay was smashed. Easily could have been a double or triple if the 1st baseman wasn't on the line. That's why its a game of inches.Gonathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622413303529086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-61137246652304504602012-05-18T22:29:48.428-04:002012-05-18T22:29:48.428-04:00Davey said it well "You don't have to for...Davey said it well "You don't have to force the execution of the bunt"Gonathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622413303529086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-42243306261434179432012-05-18T22:29:00.552-04:002012-05-18T22:29:00.552-04:00Strop looking like Henry Rodriguez and the Nats le...Strop looking like Henry Rodriguez and the Nats let him off the hook.<br /><br />I don't mind Desi showing Bunt but you can't help Strop out.Ghost Of Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05745394350047225996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-4736817630363192032012-05-18T22:27:57.629-04:002012-05-18T22:27:57.629-04:00Burnett wears his hat the same way.

Instead, he chased fastballs at his neck and we didn't advance the runner. <br /><br />I know Davey likes big hits, but in that situation, you need just one run. A bunt was called for. <br /><br />I know it's one game, but we have given away our most of our losses recently. We seem to have lost a lot of discipline in the field and at the plate, and we sure as hell can't hit.ehay2khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441654620820540390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-28347861825958186622012-05-18T22:25:56.998-04:002012-05-18T22:25:56.998-04:00baseballswami said...
