Good enough to tease us. Not good enough to win w college baseball best two prospects by far. Far better players we can hope for in the future.

If he’s still bringing in Little and Dutton in situations like he has the last few weeks in the postseason, then you might have more of a point. If he keeps experimenting with lineups and trying to get the team to do things that aren’t their strong suit, then it’s time to question his game management. If, however, those things turn out to be the way he was stretching and fine tuning the team for a playoff run as they appear, then you may not be judging his coaching using the appropriate lens. We won’t know that answer until postseason.
