Need to finish strong. Maybe PIco is about well and can provide a needed missing piece for the second half of season. Maybe Cupp can be back and a positive contributor also. Dohm????

Dohm is done. It may not be reported but he is done for the year. Our season....and Lemonis' future.....comes down to one thing. CAN WE FIND A CLOSER.

I think you are correct about Dohm and I hate it for him and the team.
We haven?t found a Closer in three years and with two pitching coaches, so the odds are not in our favor. I do think Parker is a good coach and the pitching is better, but we haven?t had a closer since Landon.

Well and that's the thing. I think we are still trying to find the next Landon instead of just finding a guy with good velocity and a good breaking ball and conditioning him to close. Landon Sims type players come along once in a generation. Even Holder and Papelbon, who were both great, blew saves for us. If the ball got into Landon's hands, the game was over.

Pico looked damned good last night. We could certainly use a reliable left for in the bullpens for the weekends.

Remember back in ‘18 when we had pitching woes and Cole Gordon came out of nowhere and filled the bill of closer? May need to try that idea again.

Seems like that?s pretty common with many.
Hell, seems like Bednar wasn?t anything special until mid year. OM seemed to be like that in 2022

Cole really wasn't our closer in 18. He was more middle relief who could close. People forget Cole was actually terrible for a lot of that 18 season. Blew a bunch of games and got SHELLED against Oklahoma in the Friday game of that regional. Then we had to use him for middle relief against Oklahoma on the Sunday game of the regional because Denver got hit in the palm of his throwing hand and then put out a big fire against Vandy in Game 3. He didn't become closer until 19.

Bednar was up and down. He would look really good for two or three starts and then look awful for a start. Was just average in the tournament until the CWS.

Gonna have to be 15-15 to get in with our RPI. Might could sneak in with 14-16.
Gotta find 8 wins. Getting 3 of them this weekend would be huge, but this team isn't consistent enough to do that

Yeah but it was the way he had command and located. Holcombe was ok but didn’t have the crispness Pico showed.

This^^^...unfortunately. it was Alcorn, fellas.
I'm a fan of Pico, and definitely think he's got the potential, tho.

Yup. Which would be fine, but should not bring Lemonis back.
