You leave them alone and don't do a damn thing when they're struggling. There are several EliteDawgs that are better hitting coaches than Gautreau. With Commerce at the top of the list.Quote:

So does anyone actually expect Jake to go?
He was a hot commodity in 2021. Not so much now.Quote:

(3) lost 2 One-run games with near minimal contribution from the 3 and 4 hitters
(4) Stephens needed the rest
(5) Parker sees that he can't stretch CJ and does not need to
(6) MSU can matchup with any National Seed, road games don't matter
Outside of a Super in Knoxville, I think all other matchups would be toss ups. MSU is a nightmare matchup. Even today, MSU matched UTK #1 with the Midweek guy.
Really? I think those and Hines definitely would. He's a top 150 draft prospect. I'm sure they would like to have Stephen, Loo, Dohm, Auger, Davis, and maybe Hardin from the pitching staff. Those guys would be regulars somewhere on the pitching staff.Quote:

We also don't really know how Lemonis really feels about the situation with Gautreau. Lemonis inherited him more or less. So I don't think they're exactly tied to the hip. If guys keep struggling and we get bounced out of a regional or SR because of it he might make a move. I'm sure Lemonis has some of the same frustrations we all do with things with the offense.
Look at their recruiting classes vs ours. They wayyyyyy more talented than usQuote:

I hope we host and win the region regardless of where we play. I'm a little concerned with offensive production but pitching and defense has been really good.
The difference though, is with TN , if they were going into big slumps, there are other Jordan and Hines sitting on the bench waiting for an opportunity.Quote:

No the difference is their hitting coach will actually make adjustments and coach them.Quote:

Our approach and plan of attack when it comes to hitting is the most pansy, passive shit I've seen. We poke and slap the ball. Tennessee smashes the ball. We're up there looking to "stay within ourselves." They're up there looking to kill somebody.
As low as they may be, I think the odds of winning 7 this fall are a lot greater than the chance that goatrow is let go.Quote:
