Status Quo or Changes

I was told 2nd hand from someone in the dugout, talent is simply not there.

And they are addressing it in the dugout and the coaches box. This program has been here before way before talbot so maybe he isn’t the whole problem. Agree on that, no easy fix and being highly successful isn’t easy or everyone would be.

I was told 2nd hand from someone in the dugout, talent is simply not there. We have seen a combination of mediocre coaching working with mediocre talent.

I was told first hand from someone in the dugout that talent is not as big of a problem as the mental makeup of many of the guys. Too many introverts, not enough alphas or competitive freaks.

But we can always get more talent. I have no problem with that. I definitely think that if JT stays on as recruiting coordinator, the recruits need to be evaluated and signed off on by Robe and whoever the new hitting coach would be.

Edit: Plus if the new hitting coach wants to be very involved in recruiting, he should be higher on the totem pole to make that call.

I agree, if that's what you are saying. Coaching is just part of the problem of any team in the bottom 10% nationally for offense. Some of these players at the plate look like that have no business on any baseball field.

I seriously doubt talbot is 100% in charge of who is targeted and who is signed off on.

You would be surprised...

"Talent" is a broad word. Yes, more specifically, make-up was mentioned as very lacking. Lot's of tulips around.

Most of the guys not in the first four spots in the order, look completely lost at the plate. Swing at dirt balls. Get set up and blown away appearance after appearance.

What kind of backwards question is that? He has been defending JT's recruiting.

That is exactly how I define his original question.

Because until his question boxed everyone in a corner, and his self initiated defending of JT's recruiting ... "no one" had attacked JT's recruiting.

Well that’s on the head man

Bab does take recruiting trips. Not sure what that means though.

I didn’t box anyone in, is this about getting a new hitting coach or just wanted to see talbot fired. If it’s just about getting a new hitting coach then i think everyone will be happy.
