I would love to see us attack the baseball...

Tell the guys to go to the plate and knock hell out of the baseball. Forget finesse and thinking about the count. Turn the guys loose. Just hit the damn ball. Go for the big inning.

Amen. Think about how rarely we hit balls down the line.

Amen. Think about how rarely we hit balls down the line.

No one hits a ball harder to 2nd and ss in double play situations though. We've got that mastered

I've thought about this too watching our local HS (NWR) play baseball is a completely different atmosphere from Cohen. All they do is swing for the fences and statistically speaking they get a huge number of hits doing that. All this OBP% and HBP ******** that Cohen relies on needs to go. It's RBI's that win games and you can't do that playing Cohen's slapdick style ball.

Also when you get in situations where you have to hit you are trained to work counts. Different style of play makes us less successful when we have to shift gears.

OBP is the most overrated stat in baseball. You don't score or drive in a lot of runs by getting to first base.
