Post by fjk090852-7 »

It is being reported that Andy Haines is not returning as the Pirates batting coach. Bullpen coach Justin Mccage not returning.

Haines should not have been retained.So at least Pirates made a good move there.

I wonder exactly what a bullpen coach does that they stand out to be fired? Isn't that kind of a position that comes and goes with part of a coaches personal entourage of coaches?

Strength and conditioning coach Adam Vish is also out. It couldn't be because the Pirates weren't rested enough! :)

Destin is gaslighting Pirate fans. I would not want GMBC making the decision. It goes back to GMBC and his unsuccessful days in Boston.

The Pirates hitting was bad and it makes sense to replace Haines. However, he is more of a scapegoat for organizational failure. Shelton used to be a hitting coach so to me it is a failure of Shelton/Haines and then on Ben C. for hiring them.
