Controversial SF Giants hitting coach defends himself as he may be on the hot seat

The SF Giants coaching staff has taken a lot of heat as of late with manager Bob Melvin bearing the brunt of it. However, controversial hitting coach Pat Burrell has found a way to remain positive despite his job potentially being on the line.

Burrell has been controversial simply because of how bad San Francisco's offense has been for most of the year. He will always be beloved in the Bay Area for the role he played on the 2010 World Series team, but whoever the hitting coach is on a team with a bad offense is naturally going to draw criticism whether fully deserved or not.
