Brewers fire Andy Haines

[Zad Fnark]

I think Cruz was in the outfield catching balls when Yelich was having batting practice. I was at the "Restaurant to be Named Later".

 

I yelled, "Throw to the guy with the burned hands" and he wound up tossing one to me. Got one of Yelich's practice balls.

I don’t really care who they hire, I just want them to implement the same pitching machines and VR that the Giants are using.

I'm betting the Brewers are going to make a run at Tim Hyers.

So, the same day Stearns got Gott, you suggest he hires Hyers?

It has a symmetry to it...... Took me a second to catch your drift.

Hired by the Pirates

[patrickgpe]

good on him. seemed like a good baseball guy. Glad he was able to get a comparable position. As I previously said, what happened here wasn't on him, but of course he was going to take the fall.

I only wish that St Louis would have hired Andy to be THEIR hitting coach, instead.

 

2022: Goldschmidt. 216-11 HRs-50 RBIs-200 KS

Arenado: .215-14 HRs-46 RBIs-205 Ks...you get the idea.

[patrickgpe]

yeah doubt Haines could have that affect on those 2....

I always said, you could put a Brewers jersey on star players like these and you'd see their numbers drop. It's the inverse for Cardinals jerseys. Maybe the Brewers players should wear a Cardinals jersey under their Brewers jersey to offset this phenomenon.

Well that certainly was a momentary head-scratcher before clicking the link.
