Brandon Phillips has never been patient.  however, the being aggressive at the plate talk that dusty was spewing before the season had me pretty worried, mostly for the young guys like votto.  votto has been plenty successful with his approach, and a patient approach at the plate is best anyway.  dusty doesn't need to change everything that isn't broken to begin with.  thankfully, i don't think anyone took much of dusty's talk to heart.  that could be indicative of a whole other problem though, if no one on the team takes what dusty says seriously.

i also think we would do well to get a new hitting coach.  does anyone remember brook jacoby being a good hitter?  nothing against the guy personally, just against the job he is doing with our hitters.

Why did we ever fire Chris Chambliss? Wasn't he our hitting coach when we led the league in runs scored? I think it was 2005, not sure though.

Yeah, Chambliss was. We did drop off some after that year, but I've always questioned that move. The big thing on Jacoby was that he was Dunn's hitting coach in AAA back when he hit .300 and twice as many doubles as homers. Where did THAT Dunn go...but anyway, the thought was that Jacoby would be able to bring Dunn back to his prime. Where that leaves the other hitters, I don't know, but that's what I heard. To be fair, Dunn's average jumped from around .230 to around .260 in Jacoby's first year, but apparently that was not a lasting effect...
