Communication key to Bucs’ early success
In a way, some Pirates coaches are like parents setting rules for their children. They’d like to see the younger generation spend a little less time staring at a screen and a little more time talking to each other. Manager Clint Hurdle, for instance, has seen a generation of hitters more likely to march out of the dugout to watch video of their at-bats than sit down and talk about them with their teammates.
