In general, I am not a huge fan of players-only meetings. I am glad this team feels the need to do so even though its pacing to 91 wins. .
Definitely. If you have to have a team meeting to talk about it and what needs to be done, it means no one is doing so otherwise.
Sat with another dad I don't know well for Sunday's game. We both commented that there just doesn't appear to be any sense of urgency or leadership on the field. Diaz was the only one that showed any emotion or pep and he didn't play great with that lazy past ball. Everyone just seemed to be going through the motions.
No real communication or interaction amongst the tea when on the field. Bad errors and not doing basic things like holding runners on base.
I don't know if there isn't a real team leader or if so many different combinations of lineups and injuries just haven't allowed them to jell this year.
