Whoever is looking at stats (I hate stats, and I know about these things), and advising Maddon... who apparently can't help but listen to these people... should be fired... immediately.

 

This team needs to focus on fundamentals. They need to be able to get hits to the opposite field. They need to be able to get hits when they don't see the pitch they are looking for. It seems that everything this team is built to do is hit their pitch for a homerun. That's nonsense. This team has the talent to approach any pitcher they face and get hits.... not home runs, not doubles... but hits. Put the ball in play and get on base... or a walk. Umpires are dumb. One of this teams' problems is that they see the strike zone so well, the umpires are like... "I'm better than you, you must strike out!" The only combat to this is hits.

 

I don't have much hope for this team at t he moment, because I think the umpires are dead set on making sure they never ever get replaced by robots...and ensuring the best team with plate discipline never succeeds is helpful to that goal.

 

That being said, the strike zone should not matter, as our hitters need to adjust to it no matter what... this is a total failure of our coaches. I don't want to suggest that they all be fired... but yes, fire them all.
