I somewhat agree with the OP on Tasker. Yes...it was a preseason game and didn't mean a lot. But as far as the ridiculous amount of penalties, he said numerous times that the "players" did not come prepared. I was going to call in to challenge him on this. Isn't it the "coaches" job to prepare and motivate the players? Tasker never seems to call out the coaching staff or Beane. Yes, he can be a homer to a fault at times.
