Hi Diamond,
Well, since you asked...

First of all, I'm not sure that the team can solve a hitting slump by something like a team meeting or yelling at the team. I'm not sure who out there they could trade for who would make them suddenly turn things around either. (Clearly, Berroa is a stopgap and won't really solve much.)

But if I had to ask the team something, it would be:
When a team isn't hitting and isn't scoring runs, what can the hitting coach and coaching staff do to get their confidence back, and to keep everyone from pressing so much?

There are a lot of capable hitters on the team; both young and veteran neither are hitting. How do they give themselves a jump start, or start over?

I understand ball players, hitters particularly, are supposed to be able to hit in any spot of a given line up - however, the average age of this line up is probably around 25-26? Even younger when Kent isn't playing. How does a very young line up jumpstart itself when every day these players are hitting in different parts of the line up? It has been a different line up every day! Players always talk about being comfortable in their spots but how can you be comfortable when you're batting 3rd today, 5th tomorrow, and 2nd the day after that? Can Torre justify all the shuffling?

What do the Dodgers need to do?

1) Get Furcal healthy
2) Higher leverage innings for HongZhi Guo.
3) Maybe a week or two with no games scheduled, so they don't lose any more ground in the standings.

First off...I wasn't happy about Torre, and his staff to begin with. They should have hired Kirk Gibson to manage, and to bring in a different pitching coach (Orel maybe) because Honeycutt is not the answer.

Has anyone taken a real look at Pierres numbers since he became the lead off man? With him at leadoff preceaded by the ptichers spot and the Need to use Borroa now you have an entire inning of outs bunched together. And when Toore makes the matter worse by putting in Maza to replace Kent...we get what get don't we. Should I bring up Sweeny not only getting at bats, but in the starting line up...Come On!

Replace the batting coach for starters.
Bench Pierre, and Maza, live with Borroa.
Play LaRoche, DeWitt, Young, Andre, Kemp, Loney

Please, for the love of god, Pierre =/= leadoff hitter.

There are 5 other regular starters (Martin, Ethier, Loney, DeWitt, Kemp) with a greater OBP. Try one of them for a change. It'll only add one more lineup configuration to the dozens he's already tried so far.
