On Tuesday, the Red Sox shook up their pitching staff a bit by reassigning pitching coach Dana LeVangie to a pro scouting role as well as assistant pitching coach Brian Bannister to a role that will focus on minor-league pitching development. The move doesn’t come as much of a surprise given the team’s pitching woes this year, and is even less of one given this piece from Alex Speier that details some disagreements on the coaching staff between more traditional game preparations and more analytically-based preparations. Of course, as Speier himself notes, the former certainly worked with great success in 2018.
