If he’s bad at strategy isn’t everyone supposed to be motivated and focused? I've never seen a manager make a team better at hitting a baseball.

fathom Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Want to feel like Eloy has been a bust so far? The prospect rankings from a few years ago had him behind Ohtani, Acuna and Tatis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I do understand the worries about Eloy but I'm not quite there yet as I think last year is a bit tough to judge. That said, if he's still looking like ass by the all star break I'll jump aboard the worry train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB hitting coaches just really don't mean all that much. This is on Eloy. They're there to get fired when the team stops hitting the ball. But hey, the team has stopped hitting the ball so.....

Too many guys have taken massive leaps (and started hitting the ball in the air more) after joining the Dodgers for me to think that's the case. Or whatever the heck the Giants have been doing the last few years. I do think hitting coaches/hitting development makes a meaningful difference for a few teams, at least. Most probably don't move the needle much either way though, I would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
