I going to disagree to an extent. Whether it's Ned or GMDM, someone is telling or otherwise allowing these players to take a shit approach to the game. Their offensive approach is nothing more than "go up to the plate, swing hard, swing often, hope for good things".
If you look at this last series I can't recall other than maybe 1 swing by Hunter where any of the Detroit batters were swinging like Hosmer does. Butler finally started hitting and what was the noticeable change? He quit swinging so ****ing hard and trying to pull everything.
We all know Ned wants to see more homeruns but whatever it is these guys are trying to do it ain't working.
Then you get to the sloppy play on defense and it just tells me these players are just being allowed to do whatever the **** they want. There is no leadership. There is no sense of urgency. We keep hearing this "it's only May" shit when last year, "May" is what kept them out of the playoffs.
