I can’t recall a pitching Coach making a huge difference with our staff ever. We’ve had some good pitching Coaches, Parker is da man!
Clutch hitting tonight also.
Think about this. We are 3-2 versus LSU and Texas A&M and have yet to pitch Dohm, Holcombe, Loftin, or Auger in SEC play.
Yep the difference is absolutely amazing! And we're making clutch plays on defense and getting clutch hits, too! Scrap team with some stones!Quote:

It can not be overstated the importance of our defensive improvement. Our defense made our pitching look even worse in every series last year. Great defense makes pitching and offense better. I do not miss our SS or our 3B.
Yep. Our pitchers threw too many pitches last year. Walks, hit batters, and defensive errors just prolonged innings. Bad pitching and bad defense. This year, we are throwing strikes, and turning batted balls into outs.Quote:

100% accurate! And we are fun again!Quote:

If it continues to trend this way, then Lemonis can truly place all of the last two years at the feet of Foxhall.
Well offense was never really the issue. And when the team ERA is 9+ it's hard for the 1927 Yankees to overcome that. And no- we weren't the 1927 Yankees but we were middle of the pack in the league which is certainly good enough to win games.Quote:

Losing like we were also affects swag. Hard to be confident and talk smack when there is a better than average chance that the pitchers aren't going to hold whatever lead we got.
I'm still impressed we somehow had a winning season last year somehow with everything going on.
Lemonis's biggest mistake IMO was not firing Foxhall after 2022.
I don't think a lot of fans realize just how bad Foxhall was. Absolute trainwreck. Then again- even if he got our pitching staff ERA to 5 which isn't that great that would be a huge improvement over last year. I think Landon Sims covered A LOT for him in 2021. What would 2021 have been like with Parker? Cerentola probably gets developed. Fristoe probably doesn't crash and burn. We know MacLeoud got hurt.Quote:

Yep! LOL. Maybe they'll learn a lesson. Or probably not. Lemonis needs to steal this series. If he does we're going to be in really good shape.Quote:

Austin Peay- "I told you so! Lemonis isn't coming back! We all saw this coming!"
Team gets better once Mershon and Kohler come back- "Yeah we look better but look at who we have played. Our schedule is so weak! We should be beating these teams. Once we get to SEC play we're going to fire Lemonis midseason. Get back to me after we have played three SEC series."
LSU- "OK but we beat LSU last year too."
A&M- "OK I'm starting to believe."
What are Tam fans chanting? Couldn?t make it out what they were attempting to chant. It was so annoying. Like Vandy whistler or softball continually chanting from the dugout annoying. Shut up and enjoy the game. They are some weird ass people over there.
I'm growing to hate aTm as much as anyone other than ole miss. They are so cringe.Quote:

Couldn’t watch the game so just catching up. Major props to Parker with this staff and for Lemonis to hire him. He is making a major difference, along with our defense. Credit Lemonis for getting the D improved too. I was definitely await and see guy but I was pulling for Lemonis because constant coaching turnover is never a good thing for a program( even though we pulled it off before Lemonis somehow). It was still a bit of a rocky start with our weak schedule and I wanted to see us in SEC play. But it seems the guys are mostly healthy, gelling and playing hard, which is awesome. Great job to get the split. Now let’s go get the gravy today!!!
The sec probably missed more revenue by doing this. I?m sure the A&M alumni would have paid easily 50 million a year to have made that happen.Quote:

Lemonis made the hire, after tanking our team 2 years not seeing the issue with pitching early enough.
No brainer to me who needs to be running this program.
Cade coached by Parker would have been great.Quote:
