St-Claire is one of the best pitching coaches in the majors, IMO. He's turned virtual nobody's into decent pitcher's (see Redding, Tim). That was a hard ball to field even for Zimm and just poor command for King. Acta handles himself fine, but Lenny Harris needs to go pronto.
what makes him such a good pitching coach? we are 1 and 5 vs. the Marlins. Ramirez is batting like .400 agains us with homers and rbi's and we continue to let him beat us every #$%^^ time we plat the Marlins. Does he preach walking Schneider and Santana with one out. Do our pitchers have scouting reports? What do they say? And as for Acta, why is Austin Kearns batting ahead of Milledge??? Why for that matter is Zimm batting 3rd for 2 years now? Notice that the Mets just dropped Delgado to 6th and moved Church up to 5th. In this respect Manny takes after Frank Robinson. He'll just keep Zimm in the 3rd spot. and dont worry, Zimm will hit 20 homers. When we are ahead by 4 runs in the 9th, he'll knock in 2 more. And in September, when we are 40 games under, he'll hit .400 to raise his avg to .280, and we'll say he had a decent year.
