The internal rift in @RedSox is blowing up. ๐จ Lance Dobbinsโfather of former Red Sox pitcher @HunterD_20 just absolutely torched @CraigBreslow and the front office on social media.
He didn't hold back, fiercely defending pitching coach Andrew Bailey while placing 100% of the blame for the team's struggles and pitching limitations on the analytics department. According to Dobbins, "people behind computers" are dictating the pitches, forcing the coaching staff to operate "with one hand tied behind their backs."
He completely slammed the organization's heavy reliance on Driveline, calling it "the answer to everything, but winning games!"
Most notably, he pointed out that the constant wave of pitcher ailments and hitter wrist/hand injuries (like Roman Anthony's torn finger ligament) isn't "pure bad luck"โit's a direct byproduct of the front office's rigid, spreadsheet-driven training methods. Meanwhile, Hunter Dobbins was traded to the Cardinals for Willson Contreras and immediately found success after throwing his sinker again.
The pressure on Breslow's analytic-heavy culture is officially reaching a boiling point. ๐ฃ
