Coach Cann vs Coach Cohen...

[thekimmer]

I was just thinking the other day, could there be two more contrasting personalities among head coaches than Andy Cannizaro and John Cohen? I am not saying that to put down either man. It's even more amazing when you consider that it was JC who selected AC as his replacement!

It is strange isn't it? I am so used to Cohens coaching style it shocked me at times this season to not see a coach come out of the dugout and argue. Between Cohen, Polk, and Bobby Cox I guess I am just conditioned to it.

There have been times this year where I was hoping Cannizaro was about to come out and let them have it but if that is not his MO then who am I to question him? The results speak for themselves.

I have on occasion wished that AC would unload on an ump who has cost us with a terrible call but I just don't think that is his style and as you say, why mess with something that is working.

I think the reasons Cann hasn't argued a call are two-fold: relative youth & inexperience as a coach, a college coach, & let alone a HC. I'm not implying he doesn't know how or when to argue; or that he doesn't understand the potential motivational factor doing so can produce.

IMHO, he is simply (& possibly wisely) biding his time & paying his dues. This year it goes well with his mantra of this pitch, this at bat, this batter, this inning, this game...control what you can control, etc. He seems a player's coach, & he will inevitably vehemently stand up for them.

Plus, he probably doesn't want to be viewed like "Pulmonary."

Cannizaro has a lot of the same tendencies as Polk, except he is recrootin. This is a good thing.

Seems like killing them with kindness is working.

I do kinda miss seeing Intense Bastard come storming out though...
