Mark McGwire! rumored to be the Cardinals' next hitting coach
by DanUpBaby on Oct 25, 2009 7:19 PM EDT

PrintWell, this is weird and awesome; it's all over the internet, most recently on Derrick Goold's twitter, but still no confirmation at press time. I hope he's not sent to negotiate Albert Pujols's next contract, but Enigmatically Sized Mac—prepare for a ridiculous muscles-watch campaign for the next several months, unless he's extremely forthcoming about The Past in the interim (Khalil Greene is already putting together a long-sleeved undershirts care package)—seems to have a serious interest in the mechanics and technique of hitting, and while a player's skill-set is no guarantee of future baseball enlightenment (Joe Morgan and John Kruk both had 110+ walk years), the McGwire method, which in Matt Holliday's unsuccessful case required quieting that big leg kick, seems like a disciplined change of pace from Hal McRae, whose philosophy seemed to involve the words "grip" and "rip" and a small thesaurus.
As for the circus—well, let's let it play out before we work up our best indignant faces. Some sportswriters might see this as a chance to focus a little more on their pet baseball black eye, but some won't, too; if that's not your prerogative the best thing to do is just to look at it in your own way, and not focus on dive-bombing the people who would see a Travesty of Baseball Ethics in Albert Pujols taking an aspirin. Perpetuating the narrative, whether to trumpet it or bury it, just keeps it going; if he says he did it, that's news, but until then each talking head from now until April is just another variation on the same set of notes.
Right now—knowing little about his techniques, and nothing about how this would or will play out—I'm excited. He's Mark McGwire! As much as the congressional hearings made me cringe, as much as the Cardinals' subsequent excellence has overshadowed the years in which he was the only going concern at Busch Stadium, I would be really excited to see him back on the bench, taking up his role as Slugger Emeritus. It's been a long time coming.

You have to assume a guy who could draw a walk as well as he did,
would have a bit clearer idea of how to get other people to do it.

Hey, you tried
I’ll give ya credit.
Best moment I've ever seen at a game in person
Looking forward to Cardinals baseball in 2010!
Holliday
I’m not too discouraged by Holliday’s results. It may be that scapping the leg kick would work out, but he was already a good hitter and leg kick is a natural timing mechanism for him.
In what St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa called a "big day" for his club, starter Chris Carpenter took the mound for his first session of live batting practice and promptly buzzed the fuzz on catcher Jason LaRue’s chin with an errant fastball.
"Sorry," Carpenter called from the mound.
"Don’t say you’re sorry," LaRue barked back.
"He said it," pitching coach Dave Duncan said from the side of the cage, "but he didn’t mean it."

not a fan of this
For several reasons:
-traditionally coaches have to prove their worth as a coach and work their way up the ladder. Mac may turn out to be a great hitting coach, but I dislike the idea of finding out at the ML level.
- we have heard that Holliday worked with Mac and had some poor results. Might having Mac as his hitting coach weigh into Holliday’s decision on where he plays next year?
- the sideshow that comes along with Mac. We all know about “I’m not here to talk about the past.”
I know Mac has worked with individuals in the past, but that is not the same as working with a dozen different guys with a dozen different problems.
Having said all of that, it beats having McRae back, and I hope that Mac proves me wrong and is an excellent coach.

i'm guessing chris means he can tell a ball from a strike
but has trouble picking out the type of pitches coming at him. he has a great O-swing but a terrible contact rate, which suggests, say, he’s looking fastball and swinging early on a change.
the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus
Correct
He doesn’t seem to be able to read a change-up and/or a tailing fastball, at least in the clips I’ve looked at.
I’ve tried to look at clips of his swing and misses to see if he’s got a mechanical problem, and pretty much inevitably he’s horribly fooled by a pitch.
I think he may be especially vulnerable when he’s behind in the count.
i for one am pleased that the yutzes at ESPN and the ignoramuses in the commentary section
of every sports-related site can turn off their reptillian brains and basically say “steroids” for the next week.
watch for “he’s got the easiest coaching job around. he just has to say ‘put this in your arm.’ HAW HAW HAW STEROIDS GET IT HE’S GONNA TEACH THEM TO USE STEROIDS AND NOT TEACH THEM TO HIT” comments to hit message boards near you.
still trying to sort through my thoughts about all this. I will note that, as regards the plate discipline, mcgwire did have a 20% or better walk rate from 1993 through 2000 (with one exception in 1997). that seems to antedate his alleged steroid-induced peak. on the other hand, this was a guy who hit 49 HR in his first full season in 1987. so, he was always a fearsome power hitter.

colby put that weight on last off-season
with a workout regimen of his choosing. it was a slight point of contention, IIRC, between he and the powers, who wanted him to play fall/winter ball instead. This always gave Klobby points to me – his confidence that he would make roster, and his self-knowledge of what he needed to do. He’ll be strong next year, and a future perennial all-star.

This guys so good(Pujols) He should be illegal-Pirates announcers
It could very well be negative
A pro hitter called me once to ask about some of the stuff his hitting coach was telling him to try to get him out of a slump. It was standard conventional wisdom (extension and throw the hands at the ball, etc.) and it would have made his swing worse and not better. I have also had a AAA hitting coach tell me that Pujols does things that video shows that he clearly does not do. Many of these guys are just regurgitating clues that may have worked for them but that can be interpreted VERY differently by different people.
For example
Here’s an e-mail I received a couple of years back from a guy who is now a manager at A ball.
Do yourself a favor and go back to the drawing board when talking about the upper body of these great hitters swings. You do a pretty nice job of explaining the lower half but then blow it on the hands and upper body. Take a good look at your clips and tell me where Pujols’ hands go after he makes contact with those arms bent…they work “through the zone” just like your overhead video clip of Linear hitting shows. That is what we term extension through the zone. This “connection” you describe with the back elbow (which is dead right) actually is a slot that the back elbow extends through to give your barrel more time in the zone. The diagrams of Pete Rose from overhead are WAY off. You will only see Albert’s hands work in a circle if he is ridiculously jammed on an inside pitch.
The thing that really got me was when his objections to my comments about a video clip of Pete Rose’s swing.
- Overhead View of Pete Rose’s swing
He apparently wasn’t a big fan of reality and how it conflicted with his sense of when and where extension happens.
Over and over again...
…I am approached by parents of HS kids who…
1. Have beautiful swings.
2. Are hitting WELL.
…whose coaches are desperately trying to change their swings because they their their swing won’t scale.
More often than not these kids have THE swing and their coaches are simply to ignorant to recognize a good swing when they see it.
Does this guy really believe

Does Big Mac answer the questions
at his hiring press conference? Might have to address the issue in order to be hired (DeWitt requirement?) so there isn’t a circus entering ST. Straight forward approach appears to have worked even for A-Rod. Another plus would be to hold the conference just prior to the WS to make the issue back page news as soon as possible.
He's got to be straight forward or it'll be a disaster
I’m expecting something along the lines of, “I did it. It was wrong. I regret it. Now let’s move on.”
Anything else and it will dog, and eventually destroy, him.

and he is long retired. no one cares. it is not akin to arod. he really doesn’t have to answer anything, unless he cares about the HOF.

This sounds almost as if you are judging home schoolers based on the ones that attend a highly unusual school.
Bingo
Also, more opportunity to interact with kids across a range of ages.
A home schooled curriculum can range from being raised in a homsteader’s cabin to interacting daily with 40+ other home school kids at scheduled events, then playing after-school sports. The “no social interaction” argument has to come with a qualifier, or it’s pretty much just uninformed.

Actually a TERRIBLE movie
One of the worst I’ve ever seen.
I can’t remember why I hate it, but it’s visceral.
the sound at the end when it cuts to a black screen
makes the entire movie worth it. But I’m kind of a Stephen King fan, and I recognize a lot of the film adaptations of his movies aren’t that great as far as movies go
"...football games always make me thankful for two things:

It was a long time ago
So I’ll take your word for it.
Maybe it was that I found the movie disturbing, too (I forget).
I think that was one of two movies I have ever walked out of.
