I think that's the crux of Lemonis's problems. He's probably too hands off and he trusts his guys too much. That's fine with Mangum, Ethan Small, Tanner Allen, and Landon Sims. But he's too slow to make changes and he needs to step in and at least take away in game pitching change decisions from Foxhall at the very least. And before anyone says it- yeah Foxhall is gone anyway.
A lot of our fans want a coach to act like Polk or Cohen did with umpires.Quote:

And bunt isn't one of the four letter words.
That's a four letter word that I can't stand.Quote:

They mentioned it takes him twice as long to warm up before the game, his left arm gets cold sometimes when he doesn't throw to leftyies as often, during warmups between innings he would have to split pitches between both arms, and that he sometimes loses focus when switching. Also his stuff is pretty average from the left side. I can understand this. When he gets to pro ball they were gonna put him on just the right side so might as well get used to it now. I mean he can still do it if needed.Quote:

For instance Alford has the yips at third, you can see it everytime a ball is hit to him and if he fields it clean then he aims the throw and that never turns out good.Quote:

Absolutely! He keeps it up and he will end up like Knoblock and it's all mental.Quote:

He made a couple of errors early in the year and it's all in his head.Quote:
