I have played with/learned the game from World Series champions, current and former major league players and coaches, and few current minor leaguers. I have more knowledge of the game...playing and managing then you can imagine.
It's not that he won't find it...its about speeding it up. What if he takes a month to find it...that hurts the offense. Maybe waking him up by batting him 6th one game is all it would take. Just a different approach then wait and see.
