Just my thoughts
I agree. Just saying we all know Cohen is The Meddler and it's hard to see him not continuing to pull a guy for an 0-4 day or making one E or actually hitting the ball out of the infield. It's just who he is. That philosophy works fine in football, where there aren't as many games and every mistake is magnified. Not so much in baseball, where things tend to average out over a season. Baseball is so mental, it's crucial to let players build confidence by coming to the park and knowing a) they're going to play and b) where they'll hit everyday, regardless of whether they make an E or have a shitty day swinging the bat. The constant merry-go-round approach to lineups is ridiculous.
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22
