Ill put everything I want on Hyde. Hes horrible. Already tired the pen too. But in particular Stoner was talking about the moving around and having a routine. He had these guys playing everywhere all spring. No set positions for alot of guys. How can all these mistakes keep happening. Do they actually hit fungos and make guys simulate tracking the balls. Do they simulate pop ups that that could fall between players. Do they simulate playing balls at or off the wall. Its one thing to physically lack say range, or to have a weak arm. The mental mistakes drive you nuts. Get a manager in here who demands moreYou keep saying this but I don't understand it.
Santander in LF on Opening Day is a fair critique. I get why they put the weakest defender in LF at Fenway, but he definitely seems to really struggle in LF while he's at least passable in RF. Putting Mullins' misplays or McKenna's on him seems difficult to support.

The way they're handling Stowers is criminal, but that's probably about Hyde for whatever reason.
Only three games in, though.

Texas has crapped all over Philly. If you think theyre some relief think again. Especially if you arent gonna take the outs they give you.
Get out of Boston and get refocused in Texas. This series has been a disaster.

I get thinking the defensive start is horrible for the outfield, it is. Maybe its lack of preparation, but I really doubt it. But what drill do you think they need to do so that McKenna catches that ball last night? The same guy you said it was a huge mistake to not having in during the 6th inning as a defensive replacement on Opening Day.

As bad as the defense has been I don’t know you can blame it on anyone. Let’s see if it continues beyond this series.

Drops are drops. I hated seeing Hays completely turned around and missing a ball by a dozen feet more than that drop. Balls dropping between players. Physical mistakes happen. The mental mistakes from being unprepared drive me crazy.I get thinking the defensive start is horrible for the outfield, it is. Maybe its lack of preparation, but I really doubt it.

Ron Washington is 70. Hes not getting youger but hes a hell of a coach. Get him in here the second the season ends. Or Maddon though Im not his biggest fan either. I need somebody whos been there before and knows how to prepare a team

Good fastball velocity, but can't locate it and his breaking stuff is average, which he also can't command. Not much swing and miss ability with his stuff from what I've seen.

So 3 games which is massive SSS but here' my quick look
Offense - going to be ok. Not great but middle of the pack.
Defense - not good....but it can't be THIS bad all season.
Pitching - poor.
And remember this is the only team in the ALE we are predicted to finish ahead of. Yikes.

Ron Washington also once lost a World Series when Nelson Cruz made a key error when they were within outs of clinching the series against the Cards.

Switch the defense and the pitching. For now. The staff should be glaring at these position players right now.So 3 games which is massive SSS but here' my quick look

Brandon Hyde has no chance of ever sniffing a WS game. But whatever. Get me a guy whos proven he knows what leadership is and will have the guys prepared. If Elias wont do it because he is trting to manage from the owners box he can get bent too. I need the talent first but after that it doesnt matter if tou dont have a manager. At this point Ill take any great manager over Elias. Yeah I said it. You think Im that far up Elias's ass reread that last sentence.I mean the blow scene in Baltimore is pretty deec, so maybe there’s a chance.
