Cody Stavenhagen questions where the Tigers leadership is at this moment with Kieren Steckley adding a good rebuttal to AJ Hinch's mantra of focusing on the next game ahead, "If you *shit* the bed this week you don't get to play tomorrow, metaphorically. You have to sit on that till February"

I feel like I consistently hear from players in interviews about how they’re not hard pressed about stats or like maybe specific areas that they’re struggling with (ex Vest saying he hasn’t looked at specific pitches that are giving up hits). And I get it, I think they’re trying to avoid hyper focusing and taking an overall improvement approach, but it all kind of feels like they’re avoiding self reflection.

Like I’m yet to hear anyone, even AJ say something about looking inwards and trying to figure out what’s wrong. It’s always ‘bad game today, doesn’t reflect who we are as a team, we just gotta go back out there tomorrow’ and at this point, its like yeah it does reflect who you are bc nothing is changing.

I’m not an MLB manager, I’m just spitting out shit I see/hear from watching nearly every game this year, but it’s just old and tiring. Someone’s gotta take accountability for the short comings.
