I don't know, are you?...take issue with that?...they didn't get hot this time in 2014, really didn't think that would be a controversial statement, went 11-26 from August 11th to September 19th

So what are the prevailing theories as to how they do it? Is it great motivational speeches by Melvin that take 4 months to sink in?

another one, Melvin comparing Marcus Semien to Ichiro
https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/five ... contender/"He's similar to Ichiro. There is precision in their work. Every single groundball. Every single throw," Melvin says. "It started when (former infield instructor Ron Washington) got here and he was on his knees just learning how to fundamentally field the ball into his glove, look it into his glove. And then he would get up in a fielder's position, legs underneath him.
"It was an incremental process. And when Wash left, he stayed with it. Every day, he works on every play he's going to make during the game."
