These fucking guys can't hit a goddamn fly ball ou have to be kidding me. I say GET RID OF KEVIN LONG NOW!
Has nothing to do with the hitting coach, they're just awful right now.

He'll take the fall. You can't fire players and New York fans and media will demand a scapegoat.

Kevin Long has done nothing for these hitters. Each year their overall numbers have gotten worst especially hitting with RISP.

Which count is higher thus far:
-Petite out of the zone pitches called strikes
-Fister in the zone pitches called balls
-Petite out of the zone pitches called strikes
-Fister in the zone pitches called balls
Setting a franchise record for HRs would disagree with you but I do agree withthe RISP part.

Yeah. Some of these guys look completely lost at the plate mentally. A not so insignificant part of that falls on the hitting coach.
What about Yankee hitters swinging at Fister out of the zone.

I rather see the Yankees get swept instead of it going 7 games and just get manhandled in game 7.

Same thing I said. I expected Robertson.

I'm having a hard time thinking of any hitting coach that could be attributed for making a team hit better. "Genius" from the Rangers got paid big by the Cubs and he made zero difference (and fired ofc)

At least he punched out Cabrera. But the next pitcher or the Yankees could be Girardi's favorite, "booney."
Not nearly as bad as the Samsung commercials. Both are better than the Bronson Arroyo one.

Yea but Kevin Long is praised for as being the best hitting coach in baseball and I think is shit. Plus the Cubs do not have Yankee-caliber type hitters what so ever.
Right but I think where a pitching coach can work with guys and help what's a hitting coach going to tell Arod that he doesn't already know. Hes thought to be good when the team hits and shit when they don't. I think people's ideas of their influence on a team is way overrated.
I don't think Kevin Long has anything to do with it (if anything, Granderson gave him a lot of credit for helping him improve against LHP). It's just that Arod is washed up and done (and we still have him for five more years YAY) and Swisher has never hit in the post season ever.

Doug Fister made the Yankees look like a Single-A ball club for the second straight postseason start against them.

Doesn't account for the universal bad RISP average the team has, or the disproportionally high strike outs w/RISP. Why are the yankees the only team in baseball who can't just stick the bat out and make contact with the ball when the bases are loaded?

Yea but they help players out on approaching an at bat and making adjustments. Yea most of it has to come from the hitters themselves, but they have to work with each other, Kevin Long's time has passed.
