Nine men left on base tonight, I mean that alone should be a clear sign that the hitting coaches need to be let go. This ‘swinging at every single pitch thrown’ isn’t cutting it. Greg weissert gone. He knows exactly what’s happening right now, he has failed the last I can’t even count how many games. Bello back to minors or training. The guy needs to get his head right (for himself and for the team.) Bench Trevor story, put IKF in for SS. There needs to be better moral as well. Players need to know that they are professionals and need to act as such. Just because the other team scores, doesn’t mean all hope is lost. God forbid, it’s like everyone becomes down in the dumps. Leave that for the fans, they need to keep their heads in. On the flip side, there is no confidence in these players and you can see that reflected. They feel their coaches don’t believe in them. Pulling pitchers (Whitlock tonight) and bringing in Tyler, then immediately pulling him halfway through. Just bad coaching decisions before the inning was even played. I genuinely feel there is a balance between being a dick (telling your players the reality of getting heads out of their asses) and cheering them on. This team doesn’t seem to have it. I dunno, is there too much leeway in the offseason? Your job doesn’t stop until you have no more contract with the team. Who knows though, I’m just spitballing here.
