I basically agree, but batters can be taught situation awareness, and what pitchers are doing against them so they can adjust and maybe hit that ground ball with a man on third or the deep sac fly in the clutch.

Players can be taught plate discipline, how to compete better with two strikes, etc.

But players have to execute.

When you have so many returning players and things seem so different compared to when Canni was here, you have to question what kind of impact he had.

Can be taught situations, yes... execution is on the hitter, & remember, that is a live pitcher, trying his best to make you do just the opposite...

I agree, I do think manieri plays the percentages too much and doesn't let the kids swing the bats as freely as he should and that's why I think they struggle in big situations. Bertman let his guys swing the bats more freely and it seemed to not give them a conscience in big situations, therefore being "clutch".
