2023 Frisco Classic Game 1

[Todd4State]

Your love or hate for fox is unreal. We got 16 free passes tonight we scored what??? So goat sucks too? I digress

It's nothing personal. It's based on what I see.

Hitting a baseball is hard. I'm satisfied with our offense overall after 10 games.

If you can defend us having an ERA of 5+ go ahead. Multiple pitchers not developed. Lots of minor injuries. Haven't even gotten to the walks or the poor staff management yet.

Someone needs to get him to visit the Croom/Woody story.

I don't believe Foxhall and Lemonis's professional relationship is like that.

Worst part of the team is defense. It's an F so far. Pitching has been bad, however we see some good arms emerge. They get a C so far. Hitting gets a B; they can mash the ball, but are inconsistent. Coaching? Coaching gets a D. One the one positive side they brought in good talent. On the negative side they misevaluated Hancock at C, didn't develop a single player defensively offensively, or pitching wise, they've failed to light a fire under the players asses after opening weekend, they place hit for the 3 hole hitter, and they don't tell the hitters to adjust their approach as the game changes.

In this game the defense was an F, offense was a D, and pitching a B-.

I think that is a fair assessment so far. But Hancock was recruited by a different staff.

That lineup we trotted out there made no sense. That's on Lemonis.

Right but THIS staff decided to not pursue a transfer catcher, even used NIL to get Hancock back

Pitching is a F.
Defense is a D
Hitting is a C
Coaching is a F

I still don't get ph for Jordan. One thing Jordan (even with his struggles) has shown is the ability to get walks and pop. With bases loaded, down 6, that's what you want up there. And he's your damn 3-hole hitter... if you ph for him, then he shouldn't be in the 3-hole.

So if lemonis can't right the ship, should we give our old buddy Wes johnson a call for HC?

No. He has zero head coaching experience.

If we had to look for a new coach I'd throw 2 million at Vitello and make him turn it down.

And if he won't take that offer go get Lane Burroughs.

THIS! Burroughs also has a hatred for OM. Gotta love that… Ha!!! Vitello would be unreal here as long as we stay out of his way and let him do his thing. I don’t give a damn how he cheated as long as he wins…

[msstate7]

We aren't stealing Vitello.

[Todd4State]

We should try. He basically came out and said he would take the Texas A&M job if offered.

And we will always prioritize baseball more than Tennessee. Especially now that their football program appears to be on the upswing.

Burroughs would kill it in Mississippi in recruiting. Give him Ostrander as his pitching coach and either Gautreau or another elite hitting coach and he would do well.

Oh I'm all for trying, but I just think Tenn would match whatever we offer

[HoopsDawg]

Burroughs would kill it at MSU
