He completely reamed the team in the outfield meeting after the game.
We got 4 runs in the third inning and then played like they were sleep walking through the last 6 innings. Maybe they assumed with Lange on the mound the game was over with those 4 runs.
Hopefully the butt chewing will wake them up tomorrow and for the rest of the season....

This won't go over well on here. Lol

Wait. He's seriously blaming the hitters? The lineup he put out there where two guys were getting their first starts? And he used no pinch runners or hitters? And he take no responsibility for pulling Newman?

First, Should coaches chew out teams and players? Absolutely. It's often warranted and a key tool in certain situations.
But here's where PM is at his worst and why many of his players, current and former, become so jaded with him. A coach's very first response to adversity, especially in front of a young team, should not be to fly off the handle. That shouldn't be his go-to reaction at the first sign of shite going wrong. But that's PM. Instead of actually coaching the moments first and foremost, he thinks yelling will help Fraley or Deichmann get a big hit in a big spot. Or stop Lange or Smith from walking multiple hitters. Sometimes, acting like an arse has its uses, but here it comes off as not having any real control or understanding on what needs to happen to make this team better and fix the problems individual players have in key situations.

Russian, I wish the boys read Tigerdroppings and I wish Ell would post who you are. You are their biggest fake fan and you don't realize they don't have any spare time to waste... especially on you.
You have proven through the years what you think of them and what you think of PM. I can tell you, if they knew, they wouldn't waste their time talking to you.
You have no clue how it all works.

Mainieri yells at a sleepwalking team after an ugly loss, much to the consternation of the self-appointed coaching experts on the Rant, and the hitters respond the next day by being totally focused getting the most hits (14), the biggest run differential (10) in a win and with the three pitchers surrendering only one earned run in a blowout victory for LSU in this young season!!!!!
Furthermore, yesterday's "suspect" bullpen (according to the same Rant baseball coaching experts) transforms itself one day later into an out machine giving up only one hit in two innings, striking out two and with today's starting pitcher and two relievers throwing an overall combined five hitter, not hitting any batters, recording 8 K's, no wild pitches and walking......wait for it.........wait.................NONE!!
quote:
“I was proud of the way we responded after the loss yesterday,” Mainieri said. “We take a lot of pride around here in not having losing streaks, and our players came out to the park today determined to win. I think we learned a lot about our team this week, and some things which may have been negative in the short term can benefit us over the entire course of the season.”
ETA: Mainieri's comments after the game today....
Paul Mainieri is a coaching genius!!
