This REALLY hits home with all of my complaining about the Reds severely lacking basic fundamentals. This is a great listen because Michael Kay says early on that he knows for a fact that there are many offices inside Yankee stadium that are listening to his program. What's especially interesting to me is what one of the guys says starting around the 9:10 mark





The stats were very even between the two teams in the World Series, but the Dodgers still won 4-1 because of basic fundamentals, which don't show up in analytics. Madden and EA Sports was the first that I ever saw to grade anything like it and they labeled it as "Awareness".

Tito has his work cut out for him with this team because their fundamentals are shit.

1,000 % 

Couldn't tell you how many times I've thought to myself - "did these guys just skip T-ball, minor league, little league, H.S., College, Pro minor leagues and just run right out on Major League field today?"

Because this is basic stuff and they appear clueless.
