Thorough and to the point - we can't hit or at least we aren't hitting.

As you probably recall, I've campaigned for Bradshaw to be shown the door for as long as you've been asking the same for Eldred. Your response has been what you said above, that you believe the hitting coach isn't quite as important as the pitching coach. That may be true. However, our offense is never any good and there are offenses that are so a hitting coach does have some importance.

Bradshaw road the Hosmer, Moose, Salvy wave to the bigs. And as I've contended all along, outside of Merrifield, really hasn't helped anyone exceed expectations and has helped almost everyone perform under expectations.

Whether it's metrics/analytics, philosophical approach, whatever it is that Bradshaw is doing, it isn't working and it hasn't worked and there is no reason to believe it will work. The saying we have in business is "if you can't change your people, you have to change your people". Terry Bradshaw, "you gots to go!"
