Thought this was a board to discuss MSU athletics and the like. You and I both mentioned Bobby Cox in a previous post, so I am assuming we have a mutual respect to his coaching style. He would have never put stuff in the media about anything that was not baseball related to the media, he handled everything in house and his players loved and respected him for it. Look I don't care if Coach Cann yells, screams, cusses or beats players over the head with a stick, but don't throw in the towel in a 3 run game, to prove a point, that's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. I am as old school as anybody on here, trust me, I'm old but just how many people can you cut and sit on the bench before you don't have anyone to coach. I get it, discipline is a very necessary part of any organization/team and I am all for it but you don't try and complete your objective by using inferior product. Bottom line is we conceded the game in the 7th inning to prove a point, so if we need to do that again in an SEC game this weekend are we gonna do that or wait and handle it on Monday at practice or suspension or the likes thereof. Look, we all love our beloved dawgs and we want them to win a championship, and I hope Coach Cann has a long and storied career here or wherever he chooses to go, but hitting his Fri night guy and closer was not a good calculated risk, if it were next year with a full healthy staff then maybe but definitely not this go round. Thankfully nothing happened, cause if it did the comments on here would have been way, way different. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
