MB is a mad scientist about OBP
more than hitting. He has a good eye, and has no problem walking instead of swinging. That is not the first time this seaosn a called strike three was a ball when we saw the replay.
does that mean he is or isnt pressing, no, just my two cents

If the hitting coach doesn't matter

maybe a new coach/new approach would shake things up.
This is a quarter of the way through the season, a long time for half the team to slump. And, like I said: you can’t fire all the players.
