Guys, enough with the "None of us expected to be where we are" posts
In response to any negative comment. Obviously, we ALL know how great a job Cann has done this year. We ALL know how we had low expectations to begin with, then compounded that with more injuries and disciplinary removals. We ALL know that getting to where we are this year is a credit to Cannizaro, Henderson, and gritty overachieving players. We ALL know these things. Nobody is debating any of them or taking any of them away from anybody.
That being said, you can still get frustrated about coaching decisions, personnel usage, and other criticisms EVEN when the season has been great and we have gotten further than anybody thought. I don't understand why it's so hard for people to compartmentalize the two. When someone says, "that was a poorly coached game", they aren't suddenly forgetting all the things listed in the first paragraph of this post. They are simply talking about THIS game, or THIS series, etc.
So can we stop with all the "but who thought we'd be here?" as justification for Andy and Gary's coaching blunders last night. It's ok for them to screw up, and it's ok for us to criticize their screw ups. The great job they've done doesn't make them void of criticism. Let people vent about a poor coaching effort on a message board, and then those same people will be praising decisions by those same people as we do every game and have all year.
Carry on. HailState
