That has been the biggest surprise. I hope the players can keep this up and not start to press if we start playing from behind more. I have to say, I hate our pitching staff but if the hitters can keep this up then we have a punchers chance.
Wonder if our habit of beating up the good pitchers and sucking wind against the 2nd tier guys keeps up this year, or if that was a Banny thing. Woody might have them dialed in still this early in the year. Getting a series win is HUGE for Woody as the team won't begin tuning him out. Believing in the coach is very important and Woody doesn't have the skins on the wall yet to just command that respect. He's earning it in leaps and bounds right now.
People will think I’m crazy, but I never liked Banny. The guy always gave me an “amateur hour” or an “in over his head” vibe.
The good ole boy “never ever quit guys” is a good slogan for Texas.... I guess.
I just felt like he and his coaches didn’t really bring anything to the table. Brocail might be the worst pitching coach we ever had. Iapoce might be a good hitting coach, his lineup lit us up big time with the cubs this weekend, but his approach here wasn’t getting results.
I already have a good feel from woodward. I think people are going to like him.
I’m usually very picky when it comes to coaches and my teams. I like pop, I liked wash, hated Banny, and I don’t like Jason Garrett with the cowboys.
