Says a lot about him to me honestly.

He has to be a "man" moving forward and worry about himself. He has not been consistent over the last two years. I wish him well and I am pulling for him as we need him!

He's putting guys that are trying to pitch to contact into strikeout situations.

I actually have brought this up a couple of times. Case and point is yesterday, Fristoe already has next to no confidence so our thought is go ahead and run him out there when he is almost guaranteed to either give up the game winning hit or walk in the winning run. I would have gone to Talley or Auger there because they are more consistent strike throwers. One of Fristoe?s main problems is that when he starts to miss he tends to leave balls right over the heart of the plate to get it over for a strike.

It may sound crazy but I might start Fristoe on Friday and at the first sign of trouble, ie. walk, HR, not locating, etc., go get Stinnett. Basically already have Stinnett hot in the pen with the mindset that he is going to go in early.

The other option is tell each one of them they have 60 pitches so figure it out.

And we didn't even use Talley this weekend. That situation would have warranted it. As much issues as we have- no reason to overextend Smith like that. I think he messed Tepper up by doing the same thing to him against Tulane as he did Fristoe.

I just don't think Stinnett can mentally handle coming out of the bullpen. He's proven that time and time again.

But we shall see today how this situation goes, gotta hit, Georgia is a veteran club that can hit and looks to play decent defense.

Lemon has stinnett and Fristoe where they belong. Thing about Stinnett is he needs to learn to face adversity a whole lot better. When that error happened he fell apart faster than the French Army in 1940. Cade has impressed me so far due to the way he faces a bad inning or a screwup by the D. He brushes it off.

I can't disagree, I think Stinnett is fine until he has base runners. He just tightens up it seems.
