Leyland's not gonna fire him, somebody else will have to

I'm not talking about his HR's.

Look at his Avg. vs. lefties.

Look what Polonco did in Philly last year once he got away from Lloyd.

From what I understand, Grandy refused to listen to the coaches here and in NY until he hit rock bottom.

I won't dispute this, but do you have a link to an article, I'd like to read it if that's the case.

never heard that before, highly possible, remember the lefty hitter jeff larish who stood like a statue at the plate before swinging, he only listened to his father, didn't even take advice from Kaline.

I heard it on a broadcast. Don't remember exactly who said it.

I have to say Scherzer actually had a decent start except for one inning..

Heard it on a Yankee broadcast.

Ouch. Indians up 3-0 on Twins in the 6th.

At least Knapp got Verlander's delivery consistent...name one player that Lloyd has helped. I remember last year when he "figured out" an adjustment for Laird in spring training then he wound up going right back to sub-mendoza batting.

Santiago or Guillen start today at second and it's a 2-1 game.

Max blanking the O's since the second inning.

 

[justinrose74]

Curtis wasnt very good last year

BA means little to nothing.


we're 6th in baseball in OPS and 5th in wOBA (which is pretty good), but our offense seemingly always either feast or famine, and aside from boesch fixing his swing from last year to this, i NEVER see our hitters make adjustments. not over the course of a season, not game-to-game, not even during a game to adjust to how we're being pitched. whether lloyd is a moron and his plans arent working or the players arent listening to him, a change needs to happen.

Actually I think Knapp was a good coach, was a dumb move to fire him.

Granderson has 18 home runs at home and 14 on the road. The New Yankee stadium may be a joke but he is hitting on the road very well too this year. Slugging is 16 points higher at home.. His OBP is 15 points higher in the road.

we only have 2 hits tonight for gaawd sakes.

Yep. Thanks for nothing, Rugburn. That error added on three runs and probably about 20 extra pitches. Then it's 2-1 and we're a longball away from tying it and Max has a chance to go 8. I hate every cell of Raburn's guts...

 

[biggunsbob]

No working the count I see...

 

[tigers99888]

Only person I could think of joke Lloyd even remotely helping is Peralta, and he's already had a track record of hitting well.. He was upset that last year in Cleveland due to losing his spot to Cabrera at SS and wanting out..

+1.. I also exalted you for wanting Lloyd gone.. It's about time people see he's a below average hitting coach.. Only Greg Walker of Chicago is possibly worse..

Come on Miggy...plate that old slow son-of-a-bitch.

 

[justinrose74]

I'm soooooo glad Leyland got his extension, means more Raburn at 2nd!

An XBH for Maggs?? Wow that's (heart-attack) *thud*...
