Not sure if it’s been discussed on here or if you guys caught wind of it or have discussed it in the pod already, but MileHighMario shared some pretty crazy anecdotes from the Fangio era:
– Insisting the players need to beat up on each other to become “calloused” and then screams at and berates Loren Landow for reflecting back to him that the approach has caused a high injury rate.
– After a loss Justin Simmons went to Fangio with suggestions, which Fangio said he’d try, but literally ignored and did the exact opposite the following practice.
– Believed the long time team hotel was “bad luck”
– Forcing players to stay at the team hotel the night before games so they could go straight to the game from waking up and not see their families.
Have you guys heard any of these? Any anecdotes of your own?
