LET THEM SWING THE ****ING BAT
I know he'll get one more season, but I'm starting to get the feeling we're watching Cohen implode. He wants to win so badly he's overthinking everything and destroying any chances he has at winning in the process.
Thursday night, when we get our first runner on, the crowd needs a loud, sustained "NO BUNT. NO BUNT. NO BUNT." chant. Of course, we'll still bunt, but you know, make your feelings known.
Changing up the lineup was a good start. But he overlooked the real change that needed to be made and that's the way we play. It's south Alabama. Surely you recruited kids who can hit them. LET THEM
you take all the fun out of the game for the players by constantly bunting and giving the other team outs.
If I was vickerson I'd be tempted to punch cohen in the face after that shit. Just keeps taking the bat outta his hands all night
The taking the fun out is key - what big time hitter would be happy being forced to bunt with no outs every other inning.Quote:

If he got his damn way we'd be losing 5-3 instead of winning 7-5. He is an idiot.
I would be to the point of fouling off the bunt attempts just to be able to swing with 2 strikes.
I'm done with him. Straight up stupid how he is handling things. He's gone off the reservation. I don't give a shit how many regionals he's had or a CWS. He's changed and not for the better. I'd rather watch someone else lead our program that will play baseball and not this bastardized version of male fast pitch softball. This is ****ing garbage. And take that ****ing overrated muu muu wherein get ****ong****ing pitching coach with you. This isn't a one game rant because we are struggling. This has become the norm. And it's unacceptable and unnecessary.
After getting the bunt sign for a 3rd straight AB- I would have called time and taken myself out of the game.
Glad I was always a good 2 strike hitter. Just foul 2 bunts off then go to work.
Do we have any players with a set of nuts that will call a team meeting to address this crap?
Lolol. My dad's always bitching about butch wearing that thing.Quote:

Cohen doubles up on his problems.
Seriously if he goes all intense bastard, throwing players under the bus how do you not come back with "Well you ****ing cost is all kind of runs dumbass!"
Dam serf you have been taking some knowledge in.
If they had a team meeting and agreed to mess up bunting, Cohen has completely lost the team and he might as well quit.Quote:

The only time they get to have any real "fun" now is when they're acting like clowns in the dugout. If he'd let them swing the mother****ing bat, settle on a lineup, and play real damn baseball, you'd probably see some of the enthusiasm come back. As it is, we're just listless. And bringing in more highly rated players won't change that. If anything, it will get worse because those guys EXPECT to be turned loose to play.Quote:
