Really? Is that all you got? I thought it was a pretty solid point. Coaches coach, and it's up to the players to execute on that coaching. Blaming a pitching coach in periods like this is almost always a scapegoat, but a move like that has been effective in the past with other teams. It seems like whatever turnover and idea Counsell is trying, nothing is working. It is totally up to the players to execute, but at some point, when you have enough failure, you have to start questioning the plan. I don't know what the answer is, and I'm glad I don't have to make it. It does suck to witness it, though. The difference here is that Hook had a hand in the development of all these guys. Was he fine when they were minor league studs but now, all of a sudden, he is a detriment? Makes zero sense.
