I know he's not the most fiery guy (like Cannizaro), but something is definitely missing. Do you think his dad's death could be weighing so heavily on him that he lost the fire, even just temporarily?

He looks like he is completely miserable all the time.

No. I think our fans spend too much time trying to rationalize defeat by looking at our coaches demeanor

He’s pretty much looked like this 95% of his tenure. I do wonder if his dad’s death is weighing on him though.

He is disgusted with where we are.

I agree with the OP. Yes you can say he “has always looked miserable” but he seems to have no fire this year. It probably is due at least in part to his fathers death but it seems to be permeating the team. I don’t see many of them showing much emotion outside of Beloso. It feels like the whole team is just going through the motions.

I notice that about Tiger baseball fans who sit near me at the games.

He has been that way for a long time now. He usually looks nervous and tense during games.

That is a sign of someone who is not confident in what they are doing.

His dad just passed away and he’s been complacent before.

The pressure is real. He feels it. Not producing at LSU has to be miserable. It's a weight that has to be hard to deal with.

He and his Father were extremely close from what I’ve read. You combine this with the unusual mounting injuries & this adds up to a very stressful situation. I feel bad for him.

1/3 of his team to injury?

I like coaches with some fire, but to be honest, most baseball coaches aren't that animated in the dugout.

2 things missing from CPM, 1. He doesn’t understand offensive baseball at all 2. He doesn’t know how to handle or evaluate pitching. He’s been great at setting up stellar defensive units but he’s lacking in the other two areas. Everything ends and it just seems like his time has run out.

The problem is at the plate. We have 3 guys who are aggressive and the others are too stoic without fire. Especially with two strikes. That’s the time to just hit the ball. How many times has bianca and Hal and others gone down looking ? Too many times ! Just get up there and hit the damn ball.

Could be, a close death effects everyone differently. Prayers to him if that is the case

I think he's human and losing his father has taken a larger toll on him than this board would admit.
