Expectations were and are high because we are a baseball school. I also think last year was a fluke mainly because we had pitchers hurt. It's early and I expect we will start to play better, it's just like basketball this year, trying to figure out the rotation and who gets hot and takes the position in the field or plate.
Hey, I'm not gonna say it's all bad coaching just yet, players have to perform and a coach can't make a pitcher throw strikes, nor can they make a batter get a hit. If Lemonis team this year finishes last, then yes, there will be changes.
Btw, who would have thought a few years ago Bednar would have had the year he had, so maybe one or two of our pitchers will step up, we have some decent young pitchers.
