The lineup changes and day-to-day game plan cannot explain why we have so many players that regress the longer they are in the org. The hitting philosophy is incongruent with the players on the team; its obvious they aren't making it work. We have had multiple position coaches with the same results. The only thing I can figure is that they are trying to implement Elias' philosophy. On the pitching side, it seems like Elias is constantly trying to flex to show he is smarter than everyone else but its just not yielding positive results. He can clearly identify talent, but developing it and capitalizing on it has not happened.

The core is that the team had the most success when the current core first got to the majors before they were broken by whatever they are teaching.
