Which BP and bats want this one more? We shall see.
We've had a number of hitting coaches and none were able to get these sad sacks to hit. I'm not sure anyone could get Walker, Gorman, Noot, and Scott to ever be able to improve.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 19:46 pm Just like I asked last night. Does this team really need a hitting coach from here on out?

Walker has clearly improved this year with the changed stance. Gorman is Bader except he can’t field. Noot hasn’t had his career year, yet (IMO Gorman has). Scott needs to flatten his swing and learn to drag bunt. If Scott can hit 260 with a 350 ops, he’s a valuable player.Lightning Rod wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 19:51 pmWe've had a number of hitting coaches and none were able to get these sad sacks to hit.

Yes. A very high percentage of St Louis summers is 90 degrees plus.CraigPaquette wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 19:42 pmBut people love to make excuses for the guy that he doesn't like to pitch in hot weather.

He never bothered to show up to begin with.
