Some players are better at pitching and some are better at hitting, that's why they are chosen to play those roles when recruited. Some are superior enough to actually do both, but they are not the norm, otherwise MLB would be full of them. I'm still posting to defend my poisition just like you continue to post.
You just don't get it do you? Tuesday night was not about who the best hitters were it was about WHO was gonna get out there and put out the effort Cann wanted to see. Like I said earlier this kinda thing used to be very common years ago when coaches weren't afraid of offending players. I've played and coached Baseball most of my life, I don't have all the answers but I know one thing for dang sure if your players aren't out there competing like you expect you get there a** out of there and find somebody who will. It doesn't meant the players you pulled don't care or don't compete it's just they weren't responding at that time and the message to them and your team has to be clear. I think the kids on our team this year have plenty of heart and guts and I guarantee they will own this and step up. That's why you do it!
