Haven't heard much about him recently but he came in as some kind of savior and didn't accomplish a god damn thing with anyone. I can't think of 1 hitter that improved under his watch.

I read some Bruce Levine piece of shit article talking about how the hitting coach only teaches mechanics and not plate discipline or pitch recognition. What the fuck good are they, then?

No Cub fan viewed him as a savior.

Correct. He was a savior in the media and amongst some MLB players and coaches, but fans really didn't know or care who the guy was.

Don't remember anyone in the organization say a bad word about him. Makes me think it was a highlevelhiring from the head guy. Much like Charlie laud showing frank Thomas how to hit singles. Are we to assume Billy Williams is comng back to show these kids how to hit?

But he was thought to be some great thing. Now he isn't because Theo says so? Is Theo a savior?

Good riddance.

I remember when Gerald Perry was brought in from Oakland to finally teach the Cubs how to draw walks. And for one year, they did! Then they didn't again and they fired him.

i thought rudy jaramillo was gonna make it be 90 degrees in april and change the wind enough to make wrigley a veritable bandbox like he did in texas, cuz holy shit, that ballpark is SO NOT CONDUSIVE TO OVERINFLATED NUMBERS EVER SINCE RUDY LEFT. ask mike napoli.

seriously i thought he was the male version of storm from the x-men or something, instead he's just an old codger with crap advice on how to swing a stick at a ball. go cubbies!

also, what does it say about rudy jaramillo that he got fired by the cubs THIS YEAR?!?! look at dale sveum... he doesnt give a fuck. he was prolly told "go lose 100 games we wont fire you just get on your frank drebin blind man in an orgy feeling your way through this one game and we're cool"

rudy must have been an unhappy camper.... someone needed to get him a canteen boy evidently! </alecbaldwin>

I believe this was more about approach than results. Theo talked extensively about the "Cub Way" including hitters going deep into counts, as the deeper a hitter goes in a count, the more likely he is to have a positive outcome from the at bat. They want to make pitchers work and not go deep into games. They want more walks and for hitters to see enough pitches that they have a better chance in their 2nd, 3rd and possibly 4th at bats of being able to recognize a pitchers pattern and better anticipate how he may be approached. Jaramillo did not emphasise hitters going deep in counts and many hitters had few walks and were swinging early in the count regularly. He just wasn't a good fit for the organization with the philosophy they want to employ for hitting. If it were just a matter of the hitters having poor BAs and OBP's Jaramillo might well have been retained. But it appears as if he did not get on board with "The Cub Way".

who thought that? most fans said " wow that is a lot of money for a hitting coach who is fortunate to have that lineup in that stadium" another awful Hendry contract ...glad this douche is gone.
