tito as shrink

tito finds a way to relax the players, focusing on the little things to win. this is why he is brilliant.

Francona, who is not big on team meetings, will sit down with the players for approximately 10 minutes today. But it's not for inspiration. Instead, he'll give a refresher course on signs, bunt defense, and things of that nature. "They know what we're doing," Francona said. "We've been together all year. We view every game as big around here. I think you start viewing games, making them bigger, and that doesn't really help."
