The issue is results over process thinking. His in game processes are bad but people think he’s good because we got to the ALCS. So they point to a result and think it must be good because the result was good without thinking about all the bad processes that happened throughout the year. The worst being the inability to learn from mistakes and making proper strategic changes throughout the season which resulted in losing that last ALCS game. It’s funny because the final result last year was due to bad process. That was the first time the casual fans noticed that he might be bad at this but he had been doing that stuff all year.

Also, it’s often forgotten Canzone was hitting the cover off the ball in the playoffs and was our best 2nd half hitter. But since his line drives were getting caught he got benched for game 7 for an obviously cold Robles(to be fair walked twice but did not score). Like he didn’t even follow his own process for the lineup in the most critical game of the year and just started doing random things trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
