That would be like Astros fans expecting Jose Altuve to hit 30 home runs because their hitting coach had a magic wand or something. Yet another example of how our fans don't understand the game.
Cohen built us for the baseball culture at the time- and it resulted in two SR's, and a CWS appearance making it to the finals. And now he is recruiting more power hitters like Rooker, Cole Gordon, Nate Lowe, and hopefully Riley and Pickett make it to adjust for the current era.
I'm pretty sure Cohen gets it. It's pretty much public knowledge that Cohen wanted the ball change to be delayed to give us a chance to adjust our roster. If he was deadest on small ball, I'm pretty sure that would have never come out.
Altuve is on pace for 19 HR and 50 2bs. JS. You named four players. Cohen starts every fall with 35-40 players. Quit making excuses for him. He's been atrocious this year. We must and will DEMAND MORE from our HC for baseball. Ask Buck Showalter and Jeff Brantley what they think of Cohen's performance this year.
