Jim Hickey Interview Concerning James Shields
"Well, first of all, the reason [Shields's BABIP is] down 81 points is that it was up considerably last year. I realize the .261 is down also, and that it’s about 40 points below league average, but do I think it’s sustainable? I do, because I don’t see anything going on out there that’s really out of the ordinary."
Great interview here.

Interesting that he confirms what many thought.
That Jaso and the pitchers weren’t so much on the same page early on.

I wouldn't be surprised if every pitching coach had that sort of statistical data at hand
Still, though, Hickey seems incredibly well-spoken and intelligent here. Great interview.

And to think, we all wanted to fire him a couple years ago
Yeah, that interview makes me like him a lot, lot more.
