Pitching vs #24 Troy

[Coach34]

Eight games in we should not be worried about any of this.

Do you hear yourself? "Eight games in"?????? We have 15 guys from other teams last year we are counting on to play big roles. 8 games is in no way enough time to know shit. Its going to take at least 20

Uh, thanks for reiterating my point?

oh- I misread. We agree. Please use "only 8 games" next time to eliminate confusion

I'm sure there is a bunch more- but thats the nuts and bolts of things

You forgot....he hands out a t shirt after games.

[SPMT]

I disagree- I think he is worse. He basically hit .300 his 1st 2 years as a DH with 20 HR's per. Now? He is me at the SEC level in 1990

Yeah, I don?t know what the deal is. Thought he was better as well.

I have been told he practices a lot on his own. Felt bad for him last year, but he has to find it now.

If a new coach with no loyalties, recruiting promises, history, or ties came in to direct the hitting because the LA Dodgers steal Gotro and Lemonis from MSU.

(1) 2B- Frei - Switch (Buckner is a good player too)
(2) LF -Downs - Right (Up in the order until he stops hitting)
(3) RF-Stevens - Left
(4) 1B-Sullivan - Right
(5) DH- Stallman - Left / Hines - Left (Hines is probably good PH versus Right Hand Power Arms)
(6) CF- Chance - Right
(7) 3B - Reece - Left (Instructed to put the barrel for gappers and not try be a 20 HR guy, he is K'ing +50% his rate for Houston, move up when he gets hot)
(8) SS- Cupp - Right (A new coach would think Cupp is a hitter these days)
(9) C- Highfill - Right / Powell - Right / Owen - Right (Until Highfill becomes Johnny Bench)

The top-end portal catchers like Jimmy Keenan and Luke Gaffney and Luis Hernandez are also not hitting. So, no obvious solution was available to snag, even with maxed out NIL dollars.
