According to what I've been reading thats the time he started playing "favorites" more. Ones that happened to be a part of his bible study class taking place in the locker room. BTW, who the **** allowed that to happen? You want to meet, got to your own place or a hotel room on the road.
He started to ignore the statistics he was given and trust his gut more. Let players "play through" a downturn until it was way too late and cost the team too many wind. Freese and Craig come to mind. He would play vets over young players, even ones that joined the team this year and are batting .200 (Moss).
He would only trust 1-2 relievers. He would pitch them until they broke down and their careers were over. He would trust his pitchers to get out of jams when everyone in the ball park could see they were having issues with control on that day. Cost us so many wins. And the 2013 World Series.
