    We won't all year. Can has already announced to the World that we want fastballs.

    It's not like that's a secret though. Every baseball team wants to see fastballs. There are not many people in the world who are great off speed hitters. The good ones don't miss the fastball when they get it.

    Want is one thing...but when your philosophy is "hit fastballs" without expecting fb and adjusting off speed it's a whole other thing.

    Trust me the offensive approach he is teaching is the least of our concerns. See LSU's numbers once he joined the staff. I can also guarantee you that "hit fastballs" is every teams approach in the country. Until you get behind in the count you should be hunting fastballs ready to destroy it. It's not rocket science

    Wow, so you think Cannizaro made it all the way through the coaching ranks and landed this job with a hitting philosophy that complete disregards hitting the breaking ball?

    If Mullen says "we want to establish the run game," does that mean we aren't going to throw the ball? Wanting to hit fastballs but adjusting to breaking balls is as elementary of a principle in baseball as establishing the run is in football
