It's criminal that on one in the FO can see this or that they are unwilling to do anything to change this moronic hitting approach Harris has been teaching our players.

It's because Lenny thinks that waiting back and going the other way will up contact percentage, when he should actually be teaching the guys how to get better reads out of the pitcher's hand. Waiting back and going the other way doesn't help a guy recognize pitches; it makes him waste crushable fastballs. That's OK if you are a contact hitter to begin w/, but not if you are supposed to be a power hitter.
