It sucks we didn't show up when we needed to but if you look at our history that is what we do. 1989 comes to mind and I know that team would have won a national championship. It sucks that two of our most talented teams didn't even make it to the CWS.
I'll say this- I liked Johnson as a pitching coach but he was very average at managing our bullpen the whole damn year. Leaving a sidearmer like Rigby to face a LH power hitter like he did was beyond risky- and we got burned. And then he brought in Daniel Brown to only face one guy after that whom he walked but let's let Humphreys walk everyone on the planet? WTF?
