Sure (reply to the post above the one above)
I don't think it is just that easy to change approach. While I get frustrated with a lack of execution in some situations (e.g. not able to advance a runner) I get more frustrated actually when I see that from the depth players like Pillar.
I think guys like EE, Jose and JD got to the bigs and had success with a certain approach and that deviating too much from that may actually make things worse.
I think you can win with a bunch of different approaches, what is key is execution of that. Right now they aren't executing.
I see them missing very hittable pitches. I also see some bad luck. But more the former. They aren't driving balls that they should be. That's execution more than approach.
