Now I think we get to see the other side of Lemonis - can you handle the short season of Omaha? He didn't do well the first time out, and I think he learned from it (see his use of our pitchers).
I'm hoping he is more Joe Torre than Bobby Cox when it comes to this. Both knew how to handle the grind of the season and keep the team together, prepared, and well focused, and are two of the best to have ever done it. But, Cox never seemed to go all in in the post season and Torre did. We need Lemonis to be Torre.
