GDT | 2022 MLB Draft | Day 1 | July 17 — 7:00 PM ET

I love the draft coverage being on TSN. I don’t know much about the draft but it’s fun to watch -
Yup mama Tiedemann is a cougar
-
Espinal is an all star
-
You said you didn’t know where to find data on swinging in the zone
-
Z-Swing% is swinging inside the zone
-
Jeez I even spent a few years on the old board and don’t remember this one
-
s***** John Loiasaga prevented me from adding him here too
-
Why’s that?
-
It was plain to see. Hopefully Johnny boy can do the job.
-
Ya ideally Bo hits third high power low OBP guy But at least they moved Vlad up. No reason for him to not hit top 2 from this point forward.
-
Just please don't yell at them John
-
Lets go Janny!!
-
Spicy
-
Guerrero in the two hole is awesome. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bo take off with Charlie gone.
-
Pretty much everything I've been saying No accountability No leadership It's important for the ship to have a captain
-
Man I don't know why you're taking Charlie's firing so personally. Like I said to you earlier if you can't see that these guys didn't respect Charlie then I really don't know what to tell you - it was painfully obvious to anyone who knew what they were watching. Nobody is saying you need someone yelling and screaming at these guys day in and day out that is a narrative you keep repeating that nobody else has. Imagine Charlie Montoyo coming into the clubhouse and flipping a lid on the team after that Seattle series. Guys would roll their eyes and probably try and hide their laughter. They didn't take him seriously. Now imagine someone who demands your respect doing it - totally different message sent and received. As far as Driveline or whatever... if a pitcher comes back a better pitcher (which presumably is the reason they went to Driveline) why would the pitching coach want to change anything?
-
No I don't think accountability is required in the minor leagues. I think it's best to let 18-23 year olds run wild and let them do whatever they want. Bonding for the boys Like did you even read what I said? Nowhere did I mention anything about accountability. I think it's easier for Charlie to hold a 20 year old in AA accountable than it is for him to hold Bo Bichette or Vladdy accountable. Why? Because Vladdy and Bo would walk all over him because he's not fit to lead a major league team that's why.
-
Yup agreed. He's not a leader, that became obvious.
-
Bichette might look like Justin Bieber but I'm pretty sure he works his ass off you're right. There is no doubt Dante wasn't a "do your best son" kind of dad, Dante was an intense get your s*** done kid kind of dad. Exact opposite of Charlie.
-
Chuckles is the perfect minor league manager. No pressure to win, the ability to mesh with the staff and new guys year after year, positive attitude, allow the other coaches to work with players to develop skills and just sit back and oversee the operation.
-
I believe 100% that the clubhouse grew tired of Charlie. I think it’s pretty plain to see. Does that mean they don’t like him as a person? Doubt it. But they were probably tired of the way he was doing his job.
-
Believe it or not pro athletes want to be held accountable. This notion that managing the egos of millionaires is impossible because they’ll do what they want anyway is wrong. These guys have spent quite literally their entire lives under the instruction of someone else. They thrive on being told what to do, having positive reinforcement when they do something right and being told when they are doing something wrong. Whether that’s in the weight room, analyzing swings, footwork on balls in play, etc. Their abilities don’t make them immune from criticism from superiors especially at the highest level. If that superior can’t hold them accountable then problems and bad habits will begin to surface.
-
1000%

No I don’t

Players are wrong all the time when they think they got the out or were safe - of course. Natural reaction. Have you ever seen a player tell their team not to challenge and then be wrong? I haven’t.
