I'm waiting for you to blame him for the Holocaust and 9/11.<br />When you can show some semblance of balance in your opinions, they may have credibility. bill metsiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927989716664234035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-91095306344523031922017-04-23T14:30:07.157-04:002017-04-23T14:30:07.157-04:00Reese -

It's my belief that the whole organization is the blame for their philosophy on hitting, taking pitches, and an obsession with power hitters and not enough focus on contact hitting and putting the ball in play.

Then again, what good what it do for me to mix it into my cocktail when the root cause is the on-the-field manager who is unable to motivate his players or take corrective actions that differ from what hasn't worked in the past? A good leader would voluntarily fall upon his sword and accept responsibility for his ineptitude. Wait, there's precedent. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/sep/04/news/mn-6818<br /><br />Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-19849382984887049322017-04-23T12:25:05.426-04:002017-04-23T12:25:05.426-04:00I have crawled back in from the ledge :)I have crawled back in from the ledge :)Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
