November 16, 201510 yr But brad hand is still on the team. Brother, what would you do if the new pitching coach magically turns Brad Hand into a pretty good pitcher for us?
November 16, 201510 yr Told you guys Chuck wasn't coming back, not sure why but he never was a choice
November 16, 201510 yr Brother, what would you do if the new pitching coach magically turns Brad Hand into a pretty good pitcher for us? Lol. No time for jokes.
November 16, 201510 yr Now it showed Braves FO have been broken former GM Frank Wren's core piece by piece. Hernandez will not be boring in minor.
November 17, 201510 yr I'm all over it Thanks, @Michael and [uSER=5078]@pollyvonwog[/uSER] ya dingleberries
November 17, 201510 yr As much as we pretty unanimously want changes to this team and coaching staff and front office, I never thought Chuck was a bad coach and I pretty much liked him. So I wish him well wherever he goes.

November 17, 201510 yr sure but the success of heaney, eovaldi and disco after leaving the marlins due to each developing a new pitch suggests he probably isnt that good at his job I've never been one to say ur above statement makes one a bad coach as opposed to the other coaches just being good. Like, in school, if one great teacher teaches you something excellent that stands out, does that mean all your previous teachers sucked ass? Not in my eyes. I get what ur getting at but I just can't go with it.

Did chuck work with our bullpen guys a lot or is that someone else?
November 17, 201510 yr you're right the disco/eo/heaney is pretty anecdotal and probably just a coincidence, although sitll infuriating. Did chuck work with our bullpen guys a lot or is that someone else? I gotta believe Chuck did work with them. They're still pitchers. He wasn't "starting pitching coach".
November 19, 201510 yr I don't know, it seems like to me before they hired the recent hitting coach and pitching coach this team was beyond putrid for a long long time in both those categories. Let's not forget the Eduardo Perez' of the world, and many others like him during that stretch of time. In a dumpster fire of an organization maybe the recent hitting and the pitching coaches were getting the best they can out of the situation. I hope we can improve if we have to hire someone else, but I just think the odds are we are going to do much much worse, especially with this FO/Loria's hiring record (see Perez). Just out of default I'd rather stick with what we have due to the fact they have shown at least some idea of what they are doing. But of course it's too late at least for the pitching coach, and I don't have any comfort in what they will do about the hitting coach situation.
