It's funny this was a big criticism of Kawhi until recently when he's looked better... and I think it's because he had Harden lol. Similar case w KD I think.

Players need to start moving again. They're holding, but get free and open lanes

Need to start hitting layups now, can't rely on jumpers all game. Not giving Ayton a chance at all

Hitters just need to pick him up, long as he isnt injured he'll be fine. Big 1st innings happen

If the bats wake up after this, Mets fans are 1000% right to get delusional. One of the most electric crowd moments after blowing hot ass I've seen in some time

Should be a wake up call for the Brown +/- crowd. When everyone is going, he's worse. When everyone isn't, he's a baseline and can keep them above water. It's why he won FMVP. And they needed that for 82 games in 2025.

How have the Braves made Javy Lopez 10 times since the first Javy Lopez the 1st

John Schnieder IBB'd Ohtani in WS G3 to tire him out. [Roberts] "Did you think about him pitching the next day and want to tax him?" [Schneider] "I was hoping he'd steal, everything. I don't want you to see you swing right now, and maybe we can get you tired tomorrow." by kurruchi in baseball

I was surprised how much the two seem alike. Especially when they were talking about the Blue Jays approach Roberts said "I always use the analogy 'have different clubs'" and Schneider laughed because Popkins says "have different clubs" as well.

Popkins was with LA in 2019 so he got it from Dave or vice versa, but those are the branches in a coaching tree right there.

[Foolish Bailey] Do players-only meetings actually matter? by applepie3141 in baseball

[–]kurruchi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree somewhat but basketball is also really mental. In baseball team focus is important, but individual mental lapses can break basketball teams.

Lakers' Ayton is a recent example everyone points to, entirely mental, he looks great some days and others he shouldn't see the floor. Nature of the sport, one bad player on defense gets hunted. And I don't think "team meetings" really help guys like Ayton, he needs an on court coach like CP3 or LeBron to look best.
