First paragraph = dead-on ...
Second paragraph = that's exactly the same problem I see... it's possible to be non-SELF-aware but how is Olivo not aware?
Third paragraph = my macro frustration as well... as mentioned, the M's might have been 21-20 rather than 16-23 had they been proactive about it... the coaches always have to battle the players, but here's one that just meant 10x the work later, caused by avoiding 1x the work now...
Sonics = I didn't know that... absolutely perfect analogy ...
Morrow/League = one of the great punch lines in M's history... dealing a guy too weak-minded for one too strong-minded...
