This was a great bounce back after getting pantsed the first 2 games. Avoiding the sweep was a must. Hancock made key plays today. Need a few more vets to start stepping up in key situations.

So what's the story so far on the classes Lemonis has signed since inking with us? Were all these kids already committed before Lemonis got here and he just went ahead and honored our offer or were changes made? Doesn't Lemonis bear some responsibility for these freshmen and sophs not ready to play?
I may be wrong but I think a good bit of the freshmen are fully hisQuote:

New stadium, multiple Supers, and recruiter coach - recruiting looks not really better. 2017 and 2019 was the engine for the 2021 championship.
It does not look like Lemonis out-recruits Cohen. 2023 looks solid with position players, but the highest ranked pitcher is a fake recruit, IMG Academy kid.
Landon Sims says that Cannizzaro recruited him in this old interview. Bednar committed in 2018.

Has Flushing Friday's ever been a successful strategy?Quote:

Cade has to stay on Sunday's. He'll be wasted on Friday because we won't score anyway.
You can't outwardly Flush Friday. But that's probably what the coaches did by saving Auger for Sunday. Saturday was also flushed with Stinnett and Tullar giving up 10 in 4 innings.Quote:

Will interesting to see if Lemonis makes rotation changes next weekend.
BTW, Anybody know why last year's Pig Thread got locked?
Think Pico might be out next Starter. There was a reason he started last weeks game.Quote:
