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!
It's not about offending anyone, I could care less about hurting feelings, it's about winning and winning only. Play the best 9 all the time no matter who they are, but you cannot convince me ,our pitchers are better hitters than everyday lineup, if they are great let them hit everyday please.
