Your opinion is suspect since you said yourself you have only seen a few games, yet "they have looked lathargic for most of the year to me". Yes the coach is responsible for getting them ready, that is why they had a little chewing for an hour after FM and lots of LH bp. Not sure what else they could have done. I know you have probably seen alot of baseball since you have the honor of scouting many teams, surely you have things go awry like they did lastnight and breaks on one side of the field and not the other. It has nothing to do with umps, coaches, players, etc... it is baseball. Just wish in a perfect world your opinion wouldn't be so condescending. I am partial to the Cowboys, please forgive.
