The team struggles cause they're trying to hit the long ball on every swing. JRod excelled in August cause he wasn't trying to mash it. He made solid swings and got on base plus his HR's went up. along with the rest of the team. After the Mets series the hitting coach should have been in their ear keeping them refocused on what was working.
I don’t think you can put that on a hitting coach. The team is literally built to be a swing for the fences. You got Julio, JP and whoever is in LF. Everyone else ceiling is a very low on any real old school stats. Let alone the offense was built, except JP, that they are streaky hitters. I won’t put Julio in that category yet but everyone else looks like an all star for awhile then minor leaguers other times.
