Pitching Sullivan against Alcorn would be a waste. We need to get the other freshmen innings and we have a couple of other pitchers who haven't thrown yet. Maybe if we're up 15-0 in the 7th inning and after everyone else has thrown then maybe.Quote:

We threw our talented Young arms today to get them quality work. We will throw what we consider low end guys tomorrow
Just saying...
Collegiate pitching rides seven to eight arms. Dudes emerge and develop. Some dude emerge during the season.
If Delaware was a Super Regional
Today: (1) Val (2) McP (3) Ben (4) Duke (5) Webb (6) Sweeney (7) Burns (8) Foster/Gleason
We haven't seen Pitzer, Logar, and Foster had a bad inning. A couple of dudes that start today might be a long relief. Other dudes look like inning guys, they turn to pumpkins after 4 at-bats.
Collegiate long relief is glam, not a demotion. The issue is that SEC ugly starts put the team behind and will generate Losses. Instead of winning 18 SEC games, you will only win 15. No National seed and probably no hosted regional.
That's why Lemonis isn't our coach anymore at least in part. This is the time of the year to tinker with the lineup and figure out what you have. Lemonis probably manages tonight completely differently and I am pretty sure we would have lost at least one game to Hofstra. Lemonis wouldn't have made adjustments until after about 2-3 weeks into the SEC season and by that time we're off to a 1-5 start with a team that makes a lot of errors on defense and the basepaths.Quote:

Last time this year remember Gehrig Frei barely played at all. And I know we still haven't gotten everyone in yet but I have a feeling that probably changes tomorrow.
The management is night and day better and it's going to pay off later down the road because we won't have as many bad OOC losses and we won't start SEC play 1-5 or 1-8.
Forget that. Give this man all the opportunity possible. He is a gamer. He has pitched since he was probably 10 years old. Let the boy strut.Quote:

That's complete mismanagement of the player and season. He is all over the place right now, as he gets better control he will get better and more opportunities. I like how BOC is handling him right now.Quote:

Give him a couple innings in out of conference games to get comfortable. By the end of the year he might be the guy you go to.. never know.Quote:

Don't be surprised if he spends this summer with Team USA.Quote:

That would be perfect. Get in a good summer as he learns how to control that thing.Quote:
