2 more to Tommy John
Got confirmation that Blake smith and Breaux are done. Thanks mini me and your weighted drills. 6 pitchers in a year.

What's the deal with Rigby?

Damn, hate it for these guys.
-
can you make a list of all 6?

It's either the most insane string of bad luck for a pitching staff in organized baseball history, or it's the result of Wes Johnson's instruction. Those are the only 2 options.

I hope this year isn't like Cohen's first where we were so short on pitching we had to bring in the right fielder to pitch on a SEC weekend and he hadn't pitched in a game in 4 years. I can't remember the guy's name but it was against UM. We literally didn't have enough pitchers that could throw strikes.

That is a lot of talented pitchers that we were counting on this year. We need some freshmen to step up like Pilk did last year.

Yup. The thing that sucks is that the top 5 are all part of that same class that will be juniors next year, the year you were really counting on them to be go-to guys. Even those that are pitching by next year probably won't be back to where they were yet. So we really lose two years, and basically their entire careers.
Hiring Wes Johnson may prove to be one of the worst decisions we've ever made in any sport.

Brutal. Weighted balls have proven to increase velocity but they put a ton of stress on the arm. You have to really know what you are doing if you are going to implement weighted balls in your workouts. Probably not a good idea until you are 21 years old.
Going to need to go with Pilkington, Plumlee, and Self as our 3 starters. Use Cyr as a midweek guy. Maybe use Ashcraft as a 2 inning closer. Then get some of the other guys like Barton and Price ready for mid-long relief.

17 pitchers pitched for us last season. 7 of the 17 graduated, got drafted, or left. 6 (the above list) need TJ surgery. 1 (rigby) hasn't pitched since game 2 and is likely injured. That leaves 3 pitchers (pilk, cyr, and billingsley) from last season and 2 of those were really bad vs Marist. We don't have, but 1 true middle of the lineup bat... this year is gonna be bad

Youth coaches have to get their kids away from "tall and fall" and back to "drop and drive." Use your legs. Take you arm along for the ride. Stupid how many arms are getting blown up with the understanding people have of pitching mechanics these days.

Kind of difficult to complain about the run scoring at this point of the season...but have at it.

We are scoring runs, that's true. But we better start getting something from the bottom 4 in the order if we want to compete for SEC wins. Need to give MacNamee and Vansau a chance to see what they can do.

Think about this before you consider letting your kids play traveling ball.
This generation that grew up playing year round baseball has been pretty decimated by elbow injuries.

Rigby has a groin injury - at least it's not TJ

Tommy John has kept us from being a Top 15 team

I guess the part I don't understand is why are we giving guys appearances in games (Smith and Breaux) and then BOOM, they need TJ surgery. Did it take them pitching in a live game to understand that they have an arm issue?

Good question. Hadn't breaux been an abomination all offseason?
