He’s not out there on the mound missing his spots So you think he’s doing a great job, the players just aren’t executing? Of course some of the blame falls on the players. But if your pitching coach doesn’t bear any responsibility for an entire staff of hot garbage...what is his responsibility? I never said he’s doing a great job, we have absolutely no idea what he does when working with each individual pitcher. The players are absolutely not executing though, and I would say that most of the blame falls on the players for that, not just some.
