Posted April 16, 200519 yr comment_475002 the hitting has been pathetic. Lowell, Cabrera, Castillo,even Delgado. This goes back to last year with me. Is it too early to fire anybody of course, but Bill could be on the Hot Seat come the end of May. Yesterday game was flat out embarassing. And could someone tell Lowell its April not August :plain
April 16, 200519 yr comment_475003 You tell us if he is on the hot seat insider. Lowell is the one I am worried about. He had a terrible spring.

April 16, 200519 yr comment_475007 When they're under .500 and 5 games back on May 1, Robinson won't be the only one on the hot seat.
April 16, 200519 yr comment_475008 Whats the worst that could happen if we fire Robinson? We are not hitting anyway :crying
April 16, 200519 yr comment_475009 Whats the worst that could happen if we fire Robinson? We are not hitting anyway :crying 744694[/snapback] Exactly. Firing Bill Robnson would only do good. If only Tony Gwynn were availible. Teach these bastards to hit the ball to all fields. They are trying to pull the ball to much.

April 17, 200519 yr comment_475016 the hitting has been pathetic. Lowell, Cabrera, Castillo,even Delgado. This goes back to last year with me. Is it too early to fire anybody of course, but Bill could be on the Hot Seat come the end of May. Yesterday game was flat out embarassing. And could someone tell Lowell its April not August :plain 744645[/snapback] I wouldn't necessarily put Cabrera or Delgado in that group, but yes Lowell looks totally lost at the plate. He's swinging at the first pitch with half-hearted swings. He needs to be a bit more patient and stay back on the ball. If you look at the overall team BA at .267 vs opponents .199 you have to wonder how could we possibly have a losing record? Our pitching has been lights out and overall the hitting is there. Until you look at hitting in key situations: RISP - .247 - a bit of a drop off RISP, 2 Outs - .263 - about our average Close and Late - .176 - we aren't hitting when it counts. Lowell - 0/6 Castillo - 0/4 Harris - 0/1 Cabrera - 1/7 Pierre - 1/6 Gonzalez - 1/6 Encarnacion - 1/4 Easley - 1/4 LoDuca - 1/5 Delgado - 2/5 Gonzalez 1/6 Also, we are 0/3 in 1 run games and 0/3 in extra innings.
April 17, 200519 yr comment_475017 Well, if we do replace our hitting coach, I would like to have a HOFer, or some successful hitter as our new guy.

April 17, 200519 yr comment_475020 What about Terry Pendelton? 745190[/snapback] You try to hire people who aren't already hired, Oreo. :whistle

April 17, 200519 yr comment_475022 It's really the whole heart of the order. Cabrera, Delgado, & Lowell haven't performed like we need them to. We can afford a slump from one of them, but not all three. Last 3 games the three are 2-28, with the only 2 RBIs coming from sac flies. Lowell's 2 for his last 26.
April 17, 200519 yr comment_475023 This is Jack's last year. I wish him well. Baseball needs some non-steroidal dinosauers. Bring back the traditions and integrity of the past. Jack does it best. He ain't perfect. Who among us is? He will leave an imprint on the game. None of us will. 2006 we'll have a new Manager, Hitting Coach, and 3rd Base Coach. And a seasoned, disciplined line-up ready to explode.
April 17, 200519 yr comment_475024 i think we have two guys right under our noses that would serve as excellent hitting coaches. 1. andre dawson 2. tony perez bill robinson can go bowling for all i care... if we're under .500 in may, bill won't be the only one on the hot seat yeaht they're gonna fire mark wiley too for the team not hitting :banghead
April 17, 200519 yr comment_475025 Not all of the players last year relied on Robinson the entire season, some of them went to Tony Tavarez, and it got him fired.
