re: What a piss poor effort

I agree with everything you said. CPM simply doesn’t have an offensive identity. One year he went bunt crazy doing it all the time, now he doesn’t even do it when it’s needed for certain situations and he has no clue how to make a lineup. He doesn’t use an analytical (moneyball) style approach or a traditional lineup, he kinda goes with feel and who he’s in love with at that moment. His strength is setting up elite defenses, he seems to always find the right pieces to give us an air tight D. He usually recruits enough pitching as well, I can’t say he’s great at managing pitchers because he isn’t but our defense as a whole is always A++. If he would just let someone control the offense or at least manage and set the offense up by the book I agree we’d have 2 more titles. But it’s not likely to change he’s coached this way since he arrived here.
