We've made the postseason once in Wedge's tenure. I'm not saying the message he preaches is wrong, but he is passionless and so are his teams. Do you think Lou Pinella or Earl Weaver or Billy Martin would've put up with the mind-numbing at-bats the Indians have displayed for seven years? Don't tell me that managers can't make a difference. We've all seen it. I believe that's why Wedge is uncharacteristically being so critical of his team after only 20 games. He knows his "approach" has not worked, and his neck is on the chopping block.
