Second leadoff, breh.

Probably the thing Mainieri says (and presumably believes in) that I disagree with the most.

Of course there's no way Mainieri says things like that to the media when he moves a slumping hitter down in the line up in order to not destroy the kid's confidence or to not make it appear to be punishing the kid for his struggles.

We all know successful coaches never use statements to the media to give a kid a reason to not get down on himself....
