He is becoming the best announcer in baseball. I know some people here disagree with that but if you go over to /r/baseball and mention him you will have tons of people from other teams comment about how good he is.

How are the defensive coaches still here? Capra (I think) has been working with Anderson and made him worse. During the season he was having him practice acrobatic throws, jump throws, and throws from sitting down. What Anderson wasn't working on was developing a solid fundamental base. The result was a putrid defensive season. Going back to the Semien discussion, the A's actually employed a defensive guru in Washington. Look what that did for Semien's performance and development! To those that say coaches don't matter I would suggest you look up what Ron Washington has done for his teams defensively. It is also so worrying how this organization discredits analytics. We could amass all the talent in the world but until we learn how to properly develop players and coach from rookie league to MLB we will ALWAYS be behind teams like the Astros, Yankees, Rays, A's, and Twins. They will supplement their teams on a yearly basis. Cooper needs to go as well but we all know that. Honestly it wouldn't matter who they replaced him with because its a rotten system. Hearing Cole and Verlander rave about how the Astros had them change their pitching just makes me so jealous because we are stuck with this org and outdated philosophy. Our ace pitcher had to return to his HIGH SCHOOL COACH to reach his full potential. How can we compete with teams that are in 2019 when we are stuck in 1985?

Zips BTFO

we need Leury and his 688 OPS in the leadoff spot getting the most atbats possible.

Vaughn for Pederson? Who hurt you?

Im more alarmed thisbis the norm in the minors. So so SO worried.

Does he have a HS pitching coach he can go back to?

Can someone tell Cordero he looks like a tool with his sleeve tucked in?

Just another passed ball by Castillo, teehee

Lopez looks terrible

I would be angry too if my top prospect pitcher had to go back to his high school coach so he could figure out how to pitch again. Cooper needs to go, but he gets a free pass because of 2005. That was 14 years ago everyone

Wtf eloy...

Eloy got us on the board, 2-0. Also I cant tell if Moncada went against the shift with that hit on purpose, or if he just got lucky.

with this scouting and FO, theres no difference between 7th and 11th

Half their lineup got busted at one point for the muscle juice. I agree there should be some more questions, especially since the other half of the lineup is full of "who"s having career, allstar caliber years.

Man Bennetti is going senile like Hawk did

whats Mccanns average since the ASB?

Gutsy performance by Leury today

Wtf is cordero doing with his sleeve

The discipline of these players has been so awful over the last decade. Its tiring, the coaching staff is the worst in MLB

Not surprised with that at all, if I were a draftee I would never want to play in this organization.

Ill add, on soxmachine Jim was talking about how how infield coach (forget his name) was having Anderson practice the jump throw and other theatrical plays. Kinda absurd considering his footing is awful..

Maybe we need an actual defensive instructor.. look at what ron washington did for semien

Hes a terrible defender and ranks at the bottom of most advanced defensive metrics.
