Baserunning is the one that sticks out, but there are several more examples... over 10 OF throws to the wrong base, multiple throws from OF that not only miss the cut-off man but were so wild the throw hits a wall... the tags at bases by the infielders / catchers were awful... the positioning of players / catchers taking the throw so they can apply a tag were several times of out position... and then where did the "control the zone" philosophy go mid season. The M's would occasionally control the zone, but too often they would forget for a day+ intil Edgar or whomever get on their cases.
CONSISTENCY in general. The drive to be perfect in each and every game was not there... and the repercussions were nil.
