How much time does each batter take to "study" an opposing pitcher before each game or even series? Are they basically briefed of tendencies right before the game or merely an hour prior? Situational hitting is pretty darn bad this year and I think Lou should take 50% of the blame. Are scouting reports really that difficult to understand? I wonder if they're written in spanish as well, because Soriano and Soto look like a couple of idiots this year.

In all seriousness, I don't think you can blame Hendry for a lot of this at all. How many times has someone said, "on paper, this team should be kicking ass"? I agree, it should be. Injuries? Sure. Lack of motivation by our manager? Probably. In game managing? Pretty much a joke imo.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But that's my point. I don't really think that "this team should be kicking ass on paper". I mean maybe if we were playing all our games in Arlington, and it was 3 years ago or something...
