It's not that big of a deal.
But I think Craig Council wants his players to be as comfortable as possible.
I wish he would take a page from Ben Johnson.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
And when you see some of the at-bats that all the players had when they were going through their hard times without Kyle Tucker in the lineup that first time, that exposed to me that you've got to be a little quicker to make adjustments if you're Craig Council.
Yeah, and I'm not sure what the form of that is.
Like if you're just sitting a guy for an extended period of time, you're putting him โ because some of that worked.
Like Dansby Swanson at the beginning of the year, remember they put him down in the lineup.
Then he caught fire for a while when they put him down in the lineup and then kind of lost the โ it was just so dramatic with those players last year.
Like, again, the PCA-ness of it all.
With, say, a Suzuki, the way we're like, is this guy an MVP?
We probably ask, well, is this guy an MVP candidate?
Same with PCA.
Remember, he didn't make the All-Star game.
He didn't make the All-Star game.
We would do full hours on PCA, and justifiably, because he was doing some incredible things, but the rate at which those guys fell off the table is something that you're going to have to make sure is smooth.
Looking back on the season now, when that happened, I was like, oh man, is this what it is?
Is he somewhere?
It's like PCA, just using him as an example.
