Confidence level

[Todd4State]

On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you that Lemonis and company will ever get us back to where we belong? Im about a 3 at best. He has beaten OM like a drum, and that is great. But if we are never going to get back to where we should be with him, every inning he is here is a waste. We are an improved team. We have a shot to not finish in 14th place in our league. But that is not us.

I think we definitely have the talent to. But the lack of attention to detail is very alarming. The fact that he seems to rely heavily on team leaders- whether it's Jake, TA, or Long to drive the team is alarming. Johnny Long's interview was very telling today. I don't think he was calling Lemonis out or anything but it does make Lemonis look bad because it makes you wonder why the hell he isn't getting the team focused? Or maybe it's the fact that Long seems a lot more in tune with what's going on and a lot less like "I don't know what happened. We're pissed off about it."



Lemonis is so hands off that it is his biggest weakness as a coach because then he has to rely on so many others to succeed. But I'm not sure that he is enough asshole CEO to drive those people to get the best out of them. Augie Garrido would have gone nuclear on the team today. Cohen would have too. One of the roles of the head coach is to push others and I'm just not sure that is happening enough based on what I am seeing on the field. Like how the hell do you allow Foxhall to do what he did for over a year and a half? And today he should have told Gautreau to instruct the team to shorten up and put the ball in play after the third inning. Maybe he did do that- but the message clearly didn't get through.

Hands off, hmmmm, if you only knew.
