Clint Hurdle positive on the Pirates
New Pirates manager Clint Hurdle is taking over the Pirates with many wondering why he would put himself in such a tough situation, being that the Pirates have been one of the least winning teams in the MLB in the last 20 years. He has taken on the task with lots of energy and enthusiams. Here is a little from an espn.com article: Hurdle has charged his entire coaching staff with this mission: Bond with these players. Do whatever it takes to forge a connection that keeps this entire locomotive steaming down the same track. "I'm not talking about a Kumbaya campfire thing," Hurdle quipped. "We just want to make sure, from a coaching standpoint, we don't have any 'oh-no' coaches here. And by that I mean, we've all had a coach in our life where, when you saw this guy coming, the first thing you thought was, 'Oh, no. Here we go again.' We want to open up the line of communications where they see us walking up to them and they go, 'I wonder what he's got for me today.'"
