You make a strong point, and then you put the blame on Hendry? Is it Hendry's fault the pitchers aren't covering first? It is Hendry's fault Burnitz has been picked off? He gets the players, it's Dusty's job to make them perform. If Dusty can't do that, it's Hendry's job to find someone who can make them perform. And I don't believe it's all Dusty's fault. A lot of it has to do with the players. I know they are sub par defensively, but there's no excuse for laziness... and no excuse for a manager that allows laziness on his team. I guarantee you if LaRussa or Guillen were coaching the Cubs, we wouldn't have a problem with guys not covering first. Because it only would've had to happen once before someone was fined or benched. That is why he put the blame on Hendry. Inaction. We jump on Dusty for his inaction with the players lack of fundamentals, when we should also jump on Hendry for his inaction with allowing Dusty to be an idiot.
