When you hire a guy who was a highschool teacher-coach with one year experience in professional baseball as a coach, and another with what, three years as a minor league hitting coach, you don't exactly have guys with a lot of experience with helping guys get out of slumps.

The Orioles have gone to the technocoach without offsetting that with actual professional hitting coaches with real experience.

Remember thought.  Elias did that.  So those hires can't be bad.  Right?

Down to .081 BA. Any bets on how much further down he'll go?

[Tony-OH]

Lol Snell. That's not fair.

Remember when a team had a manager, hitting coach, pitching coach, 1st base coach and third base coach only?

Now they have this many coaches and the team can't hit, has poor fielding and poor fundamentals. 

That is seriously eye opening

[O's84]

Come on Gunnar, surprise us with a big hit here.

KB loves himself some Giants.

Yeah... I'm all for going old school with hitting coaches. 

The Crow is still alive and was just inducted into the O's HoF....

He is not an athlete.  This has been said on here before but it was poo poo'd.    We all saw that.  

Holliday was a kid who was fortunate enough to be born with some baseball ability due to his fathers genes and who grew up since he was a practically a baby being around baseball.   And that was all he played since he was a baby.  Baseball.  He was taking batting practice at major league stadiums since he was 8 for example.   He had a huge advantage as a kid as a result compared to most other kids. 

But he is small, not quick, not overly strong, and has no outstanding athletic traits.  All the kids that were much more athletic and that played other sports as kids besides baseball?    They start to peak at age 20-24.  They have a higher ceiling. 

 

Holliday has already peaked. 

What?We cant do this again.

Tbh I would bet that he idolizes Miller.

I also don't see Holt's name on that list. Some one said he was still on the team but if that was the case, his name would be credited as a coach.

I can just see him and Elias having a talk about it.

I'm sure Elias loves him after his comments about him.

Yep, getting bowling vibes.

Gunnar didn’t get a single strike…maybe 1. Struck out. These guys look like fools.

[TopGunnar]

I love it. That Adley Gunnar stack is legit legit.
