Anyone ever consider that he fielded a question and was sticking up for his assistant coach? Sometimes words get twisted.

So first it's Grewe's fault that we have deficient talent-which is what the company line is heading out of our embarrassing loss to SB-but Paul admitting he took two years off and put the program on autopilot is evidently not his fault.

Our continued deterioration at the plate against quality and even sub-par opponents in the postseason is also not his fault. It's also not his hitting coach's fault either, as kids can either hit or they can't hit. Besides the hitting coach position is overrated.

In other words, as MOT will tell everyone here, the recruiting coordinator position has been done away with. Now, we hear our head coach saying the hitting coach position is overrated.

We don't need a recruiting coordinator. We also don't need a hitting coach. Yet we were told it was up to the coaches to figure out how we can take the next step.

Now it also might be that the quote was taken out of context or "twisted" somehow. Even though its a completely congruent angle in Mainieri's Geometry on this.

If you only need a head coach and a pitching coach, how the bloody hell can you expect anymore out of Alan Dunn?

Mainieiri is only good for shielding Sanchez and blaming players while indicting himself. He's pretzeling and parsing his comments publicly to the point where he is going to feel a ton of pressure over the next few weeks.
