Bill Mueller is hitting coach for the rest of the year

Grady just announced it. Wouldn’t say what will happen beyond this year, but this will take Billy to the end of his last playing contract. Mueller replaced Eddie Murray, who was fired on June 14, on an interim basis. “Our total approach has been different,” Grady said. “We’re seeing more pitches, our on-base percentage has been better. I don’t know how much of that you can attribute to one person, because a lot of personal responsibility goes to the players.” We may or may not get Billy after BP and after the hitters’ meeting that follows BP.
