As the #2 guy there isn't a whole lot that can be done. It was cann's program...Henderson knew that and didn't want to put himself in a position to undermine anybody. Been there done that. However, i'm sure if/when the subject was broached with Cohen he gave an honest answer. All speculation on my part but I've seen it play out time after time.

I have been asking myself this same question - I just hope that maybe Henderson brought attention to this and it ended up leading to the big kaboom...

Baseball is a mental game. The distractions we all know about now, most likely played a huge part in the results last weekend. Let?s see what happens now because the team did not respect Cann.

I played for guys I didn't respect, never had an affect on my performance or effort. With that said, we had numerous guys who had disappointing weekends that I think will play better. Starting with Stovall for sure.

Nothing harder then trying to figure out when you need to go over your bosses head and when to lay back and see what happens.
I would suspect that the Cann situation didn't develop until this past off season. Henderson, in his role as pitching coach, might have not been exposed to as much of it as other coaches either. He also may not have wanted to rat Cann out, hoping he would right the ship once the season started. It's a tough call. I've been there with a boss before.

Would like to think so but would the uncertain status of your HC really affect your focus in hitting or pitching a baseball?

Well operation dumbass texting on his cellphone apparently happened Friday during the game so I can see why the team didn't have their minds fully on the series. They probably all knew Cann was fired Friday night and everyone didn't really give a shit about the games.

I heard that too. Cohen was done with him Friday, but didn’t want to distract the players. That’s why he waited til Monday.

Anybody that is questioning why Henderson did or did not do X has never been either the head man or the #2 guy. Having been both, sometimes it is harder being the #2 guy and not being able to talk the head man off the ledge.

I've spent a majority of my coaching career as the #2 guy in football- running the offense and bouncing ideas back and forth. Sometimes guys listen- sometimes guys are too damn hardheaded. Cann was too caught up into what he had going in Florida than his career. Here's why:
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Tarp coming off the field now.

I?m not saying they were playing bad on purpose. But if you have all those thoughts in your head it makes performing your best more difficult. Any distractions disrupting full focus can hurt performance.

I heard Canny was giving conflicting coaching such as be really aggressive at the plate but also try to take strikes. He apparently didn't have his head in the game at any point.

Do we have someone ready to take Henderson's phone at the entrance to the field?
