Dale has done a nice job with the pitching staff but has also hurt the team with his devotion to small ball and selection of Garth Iorg to coach third. People will say that Dale Sveum turned the team around, but I think it all started with Prince getting hot. And as Robin Yount pointed out, Prince was finding his stroke already during the Phillies series. Prince got hot, the offense started putting up more runs, and everyone played looser as a result. The credit goes to the players, IMO.
