There’s very clearly a change in team philosophy this year in regards to approach and it has broken the majority of these players. It’s like the Sox decided they wanted to be like the Astros who jumped all over Sox pitching in the playoffs with their good contact and it’s blown up in their face. I don’t see how Mennichino hasn’t been relieved of his duties. Regardless of how you feel about hitting coaches in general, SOMEONE has to be held accountable.
Yoan is an enigma. I can’t buy into him as a bust or lost cause just yet because it is remarkable how bad he’s been this season - it shouldn’t even be possible.
