You have two factors,” Matheny said before the Cardinals’ series finale at Marlins Park. “You take it personal if it doesn’t get done, even though you’re going about it right. You’re putting as much work if not more now than what you did last year when things were going so well. You’ve got people taking cheap shots all the time. You’re human. You wear that. Plus you know that the (players) are not happy with where the guys are right now. If you have coaches who don’t care, then they’re just putting in their time and chalking it up to a number of issues.

Matheny has this "poor me" "it isnt our fault we suck" attitude.  I know some teams just dont workout.  Player have down years and fall below there talent.  However if your a baseball coach in the majors, for the most successful team in the nl, your going to have to have alittle thicker skin.  You have to expect to hear some feedback if your not winning.  Maybe the fans are supposed to be part of the family.  If we are we are the drunk uncle that alittle cranky!

Bernie has been critical of MM and mccarver has pointed out in live time mistakes he is making.  Insteadof feeling sorry for himself he should just improve.
