Yup, he's Mr. Free pass. He isn't responsible at all.

I'm not opposed to replacing Crowley. He's been coaching an unsuccessful offense for a lot of years and maybe someone else could find a way to make lemonade out of the lemons he hasn't been able to help. However, I don't think people should expect instant miracles from a new hitting coach, nor should they put so much of the blame on him for our players' failures. By the time hitters get to the major leagues, they've already pretty well established their batting eye and how patient they are. Only the really coachable ones are helped all that much by the hitting coach. Crowley may be a part of the problem, but he shouldn't be scapegoated for the whole thing just because it's convenient.

Please, don't say that about Aubrey. It brings up such sickening images of the poor hotel clerk having to go over his bill with him...

Clerk: Ok Mr. Huff, that's an extra $10 for Debbie does Dallas, $10 for Suzie screws San Francisco, $10 for Betty blows Baltimore...

Aubrey: That last one was such a 'horsepoop' porno.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I'm looking at his whole body of work though. It's not about getting a magician to turn around this year's team. It's about a long term hitting coach that will be effective for us once we have all the young pieces in place. I firmly believe that Crowley is not that guy.

OK, fair enough. I was just afraid the game thread was going to turn into another Crow bashing festival.
