    Was the Jamie Hersch report regarding Escobar's prep another shot at Hicks?
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Balk, OK. Hernandez show continues
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    No wonder Gardy didn't go pick a fight. Steiny is away from the team. No bench coach.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Hernandez isn't rattled, he's in control, just the way he wants it.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Interesting to hear DickBert talk about the ump inserting himself in the game. Bert's pissed
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    Deduno seems really rattled

    You put your finger on the issue that I have been searching for. Airing dirty laundry is nothing new, but typically the subjects are particular and who makes the statement even more so. Showing up to the ballpark "unprepared" is typically not mentioned, certainly not by the acting GM. That's as much an indictment of the GM and coaching staff as it is of Hicks. His prep skills have been his own throughout his career. It's not like he developed a bad habit of lack of prep in 2014. Usually the manager or hitting coach would say "Hicksy is scuffling a little bit, we'll get him a day off and some extra time in the cage to see if we can't straighten it out". For Antony to come out and say he's too laid back and unprepared points to something more. (Wrong with Hicks or in the plans to do with him)

    I'm curious to see the counts on the heat map. My guess is the majority of the red blob down the heart of the plate comes at 0-0 and 3-0 figuring that he isn't going to swing, so make sure to get a strike. Good stuff Eric, thanks
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    He's been Assistant GM since 2007, I should hope there has been some coaching by TR along the way
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    No kidding, can't they win it in 24 outs?
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    Who needs to bunt with a wild pitch?
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Go Perkins' neck beard
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Maybe Dozier should stay at the top of the lineup
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Hilarious!
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Come on Fien, don't blow it
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Unfortunately
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    Nice catch Hicksy
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Sure there are, but on TV being attractive is required where radio does not have the attractiveness prerequisite.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    In Wisconsin we drink cheap yellow beer and wax nostalgically about Aaron Rodgers in the off season, and during the NFL season, gripe about the "Mud Ducks"
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    TK is really well spoken and has explained Gardy's rationale for roasting Hicks very clearly and intelligently. Man he has a face for radio.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Does anyone else find this incongruent with Hicks getting hung out to dry in the media by Gardy and TR for being "too laid back"?
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I "think" there's room for both. We are after all talking about Kinesiology. While kinesiology has the ology at the end, it's really just physics and muscle memory and you can't bring a calculator on to the field. I couldn't agree with you more that video analysis is critical to improvement, instant reaction is what causes results on the field.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed on all How does a hitter go about changing his hitting mechanics? My assumption is (Frequently) the subject is broached by coaching staff, the player gets directed to a coach with film and stills much like Parker's, and then comparisons are made to other more successful players to emulate, then more film and BP, the repeat. my assumption is, Joe is the best hitter in baseball and Parms has been struggling and shows a similar skillset to Joe, let's coach Parms into a higher contact more patient approach like Joe. it seems like Brunansky and Molitor have had a profound impact on the team in a fairly short amount of time, and the shift of focus from contact hitting focus to power hitting focus with Parms may be more evidence of it.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Where's the LIKE button?
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    With Buxton's aggravation of his wrist injury, is there a new return to actin time table?
