announced on the postgame show, i'll provide a link as soon as one of the sports sites have one.
Merv Rettenmund was hired to take his place.
For those that don't know Merv was our hitting coach in the late 90s playoff runs.

After the game, the team announced that hitting coach Dave Magadan had been relieved of his duties, replaced by former Padres hitting coach Merv Rettenmund, most recently Toronto's roving hitting instructor.

this is going to make alot of padres fan very happy. It may even make some pee their pants.
Its about freggin time.
Maybe Merv will bring some of his magic vitamens.... you know the ones that Caminiti used to become a great hitter.....and everyone can share them
I dont think this will be an imediate impact, but over time I think we should have better bats.
Actually if he truly was a drag on the personell it might have an immediate impact......in the clubhouse, which should translate to the field
the only immidiate impact this might serve is as a wake-up call to the hitters that they are not performing and upper management knows it.
A new hitting coach can't really do too much overnight.
