Interesting.
Well one things for sure it'll keep him from blowing a save.
What is the thought, maybe the pressure as a reliever he doesn’t handle as to starting?Quote:

If it works genius, but I just don't have much confidence in stinnett at this point. At this point though with injuries some guys got to step up.Quote:

Would be pretty awesome if he came out and didn't overthrow since he knows he has to try to give us more than an inning, and it caused him to have more control. One can dream.
I'm right there dreaming with ya!Quote:

Right! You can't blow a lead if you start the game.Quote:

If that's the thought process we should start Walling tomorrow.Quote:

Yeah. He does look good when is warming up when I've seen him. Put someone in the box and it's Wild Thing.Quote:

Yeah he just looks scared to death to pitch to contact. On Saturday for instance first guy hits first pitch hard but for an out and after that he was missing a mile outside. Walks next 2 hitters on 9 pitches.Quote:

I seriously doubt this will work though. Hard to be upset though since our staff is a mess no matter what we do. Would at least like to see us try someone who hasn't repeatedly failed more than any other pitcher though.
Yeah, I don't mind trying it. I also don't mind us trying every guy on the staff at some point and giving them the same opportunity to rise up that Stinnett has received. Give me Walling, Kohn, and on down the line before giving Stinnett another shot if tomorrow doesn't work. We have got to find out who can rise, so that we aren't in this same Stinnett spot with Walling and the others next year.Quote:

Pitchers need to trust their defense, otherwise just quit.Quote:

I agree walks make me pull my hair out! There's nothing you can do to defend a walk, at least if they hit it you have a chance. Gotta love guys like sims, pj and Cade who go right at hitters. Attack!Quote:

I saw Foxhall visit Tullar for doing that when we were up by like 17 the other night. LOL.Quote:

What is there to scout? How hard is it to watch 4 pitches and walk to first***Quote:

As for Stinnett....I heard he really really wanted to be a starting P this year. Maybe they are giving him, his opportunity to see how he responds. Maybe he performs really well in bullpen sessions and scrimmages.
yeah ... kinda like our place kickersQuote:

So what are we all gonna do if Stinnett walks out there and shuts Tech down for 6 innings and the bullpen blows it anyway? My head hurts just thinking about it…
I'll take "Things State Fans Say Every Spring" for 1K Alex!!!!Quote:
