[Section 10]: Former players now on other teams have said "things were great in Boston, then Driveline showed up and things were bad."
I know people either believe Section 10 intel or don't based on their opinion of the personalities, but I found this interesting.
There was a good discussion about whether players league wide like or don't like Driveline (many teams employ them in some way).
They noted Driveline's original intent when it exploded onto the baseball scene was to increase a pitcher's velocity.
Chaim Bloom was who originally brought them into the Red Sox for the pitching side, this is not an exclusively Breslow thing, and it's not an exclusively Red Sox thing.
The takeaway seemed to be Driveline was a pitching philosophy that showed initial success, but the Red Sox have now way over indexed on their teachings on the hitting side and it has not shown any success.
