Who is calling pitches this weekend

[Cowbell]

This has a chance to really expose Lemonis if he doesn't have a lot of knowledge of what Fox was really doing wrong and how to fix it.

We have a staff full of guys that can't locate and consistently throw strikes. It doesn't matter who called the pitches. Cade has looked good and looked not so good. Either might show up tomorrow. Nobody has been consistent all year. If you're expecting some miracle change bc fox isn't in the dugout I'm sorry.

[ScottH]

I fear this was a "lipstick on a pig" staff change.

[Coach34]

Cheese most likely

Yep.

Here?s a novel idea- let the pitchers and catchers call the game

That's fine. If they can't locate better it doesn't matter who calls the pitches.

I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm expecting more of the same. Which might suggest moving on from FoX may not solve anything....

[Cowbell]

Yep.

You know the pitch calling has been predictable though.....

To expect it can solve anything in 3 weeks is naive. Maybe they pitch more free. That might help. But....

Well not the remainder of the year. Let the catcher call it. I could study the likely 14 hitters we will see this weekend and about an hour later call the pitches. I am sure a catcher who plays in this league could too.

[basedog]

I think catcher is gonna call pitches, at least Lemonis said do a few days back.

I erupted laughing at this so loud I scared the wife!! LOL!!

Who starts at catcher, Hancock or Highfield?

[Todd4State]

If we simply stop leaving guys in too long that will help a lot.

I don't know how many of our walks came because a guy was worn out and we just left them in the game for whatever reason but I bet it's a lot.

[Todd4State]

With Pitchcom- I'm not very familiar with it- but what's to stop say someone like Jay Powell announcing the game sending in the pitch selections from the TV booth?

May not be feasible.

[Jarius]

Just throw a bunch of fastballs down the chute and make them hit it. I would rather see 18 home runs a game than another walk.

[Commercecomet24]

No question. Both can be true and both have combined for just an awful season.

[confucius say]

And how many times have we pulled a guy one pitch too late? A lot.
I know that's in part due to no trust in the bullpen, but still.

The one thing that I think could change is that we attack hitters instead of nibble. We'll see.

That's hard to believe that we wouldn't trust one of Nixon, Hunt, Dohm, and Holcombe.

The issue is too much trust in guys like Hardin and Ynetema.

[WSOPdawg]

And the OTHER issue is that after our National Championship, we still found it difficult to improve our overall SEC-level pitching talent to provide more support for Nixon, Hunt, Dohm and Holcombe. Editing to again say that Lemonis hasn't capitalized on the NC in recruiting... like WTH???

Actually, the classes of 24 and beyond are the ones that capitalized on the ship. Baseball recruiting is so far out the 22 class and most of 23 class was done before we won it.

Happy Cinco de Mayo All!!

We only have a few more hours now until The Bucket speaketh!! LOL!!

Hopefully all that is about to change with the new rule where you can’t offer or it may be can’t contact a recruit til their junior year. I can’t remember which it is, but a change was made.

[SpaceBully]

Just quit calling fat strikes down the middle on 0-2 counts to the opponents power hitters.

[Offshore Dawg]

Doesn't matter anymore, just finish the season.

[CaptainObvious]

What?s the fine for forfeiting the season? Oh heck! Who am I kidding? These guys have already forfeited the season but they are auditioning for their Div. III or NAIA transfer destination.

[Todd4State]

This and I don't think most people realize this.

Yep. And that's a big reason why we aren't likely to part with Lemonis. That's a good way to get a ton of de-commitments.

[Pancho]

Can he truly coach actual talent and have them improve under his leadership? If he stays, he dam sure better have some very self motivated recruits coming in.

We'll see in July, kids don't have to officially de commit. They can communicate an intent to sign professionally to MLB negotiators.

2024 looks like a stellar class, with Dylan Cupp being the impossibly great player MLB will draft inside of 10 to 15 picks. Even without Cupp, there are many other highly rated players.

Cupp isn't that high. It's the other ss from ga that's a first rounder. Cupp is 100ish. Obviously we need to get him on campus. I have no idea the odds. Don't know how bad he wants to be a pro/go to college etc

[ScooterDog]

Back to the main question, does anybody know who called the pitches yesterday?

Colin Houck- rated super high and Dylan Crews 2.0 hopefull. 1st Rounder today, if he wants to be a professional this soon.

"Who is calling pitches this weekend?" From the looks of things, I'll go with Dave Van Horn.
