Barry Bonds was the worst coach ever right. But 7 out nine players were batting 300 . 5 finished the year batting 300. They led the league in Team Batting Average. You fire him. This is why the Marlins ain't SHIT!!!!

@easysnake205 5 лет назад

His story about bonds reminds me a story of Kenny Smith told about Bill Russell as a coach. Basically Bill Russell was frustrated that his big man could not rebound the ball. When the centre and pf asked for tips about how to rebound better, Russell was confused and just told them to just go up and get the ball. Rebounding came so easily to Bill Russell that he could not comprehend lesser athletes would struggle. he couldn’t relate to lesser athletes and he didn’t know any tricks for performing a task he found so simple

@zenmar84 5 лет назад

The great thing i guess with Russell is that he was abke to adjust and became a great coach,.

@easysnake205 5 лет назад

zenmar84 Bill Russell as a player coach was successful because he was just such an amazing player. His coaching record not counting the years he was also playing is not impressive at all Sometimes people who are great at a task are horrible at teaching how to perform the task because it just comes so natural to them. I’m good at math I try to teach some of my nephews math and it was just such a struggle because they had holes in their knowledge base that I could not believe a high school student would have. I can’t imagine how a supreme talent like Barry bonds would be able to relate to the struggles of the average hitter.

Really? Because Christian Yelich said Barry Bonds is the reason he became such a good hitter. I trust an MVP's opinion of Barry more than I trust this snake.

I recall Ichiro saying that Barry Bonds was a great batting coach. I guess you have to be at that level to feel that way.

@dannyheel1 2 месяца назад

Barry probably told Ichiro to start his swing when he saw the third stitch come around the six hundredth time. Ichiro probably asked if 599 or 601 would be okay, and Barry told him yeah but it would only be a hit not a homer. Everyone else in the room was lost.

@Taesian 3 года назад

David Samson thinks Barry Bonds is the worst hitting coach, meanwhile, Christian Yelich, who almost batted .400 last season, almost won the MVP if it wasn't for injury, thanked Barry Bond for teaching him how to hit while in Florida. Also the same team that traded away and could have had Yelich, Stanton, and Ozana in the same outfield This is all coming from a Dodger fan. Only in sports, you can mess up big time and get a job as an analysts for a network because you can talk in front of a Camera.

@morecowbell235 3 года назад

I looked up the Marlins stats in 2015 and 2016 (Barry was hitting coach in 2016). I think the main problem was the lack of improvement in RBI. The Marlins could just not get runners across home plate in either year. That said, they improved across the board. So I'm not sure what Samson was expecting. Perhaps an improvement in RBI from 29th to 20th would have saved Barry's job? 2015 hits 9th ave 10 rbi 29 2016 hits 5th ave 3rd rbi 28th
