It seems to work out real good, he is on pace to hit 550 again and lead the team in HRs and doubles, like he did last year.

My advice would be, do not get in the dog house, go along with the coach at least enough to keep him happy.

Yes, that is what he is trying to do. I actually like the coach, but our team is not hitting at all and the K's and run production should be an indication that something is not working. As a team we already have close to 50 K's. My son has one.
