So can AU entire staff get SEC pitcher of the week?
I'm not saying reas perfect... I'm saying that replacing him with a guy with 0 hits all year, "shaking up the lineup" or not is stupid.Quote:

Damn why didnt we start rea
27 scoreless innings. To the 8th we go.
Rea didn't even foul a pitch. I guess that is why Cohen gave Waddell a chance.
Is he irreplaceable? No. With the current choices other than him? **** yes. Go campaign to start waddel rest of year, maybe he'll get on base 1 time by seasons end.Quote:

Personally I wouldn't start any seniors. We're garbage. We're not gonna win. Let's just let the young guys play. See if any are worth a crap
Glad we got rid of Dylan Ingram.
Right now I wouldn't even blink if Cody Brown was benched and he is the only player that is hitting worth a shit. It isn't like we will score less runs because unless all my math teachers were liars, the way runs are scored you can't get less than 0. We literally can't score less runs right now.Quote:

Good thing he sucked so much and we're loaded with bomb ass hitters.Quote:

No Jim, we don't know that this team has to break out of the scoreless streak sometime. Our approach to offensive is garbage and leads directly to scoreless innings.
And as I type, HBP gifts us the leadoff man on base with Brown coming to the plate. C'mon, kid. We need a hit.
At this point I would go through the roster and pick the best hitters. Figure out where to play them.Quote:

Remember when some prominent posters were saying offense isn't a problem.
What happens if we come in 14th in the league?
As recently as Thursday, I believe. But they're the experts.Quote:

I'd follow the howland routine. Have me a nice replacement and fire cohen. Auburn fired chizik bc of a terrible year 2 years after a natty. It worked out for themQuote:

#Cohenball
I'd be ok with that at this point. He's had 6 recruiting classes and we're this terrible. Break the bank on a baseball coach. Won't happen, though. It'll take at least one more season this bad, maybe two. And I don't think we'll finish 14th, but we won't do any better than 11 or 12. Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 14th, though.Quote:

The difference is a) the balls were more dead when they beat us and b) TD Ameritrade is a ****ing offensive graveyard. And even they scored more than this. They were a truly aggressive small ball team that hit-and-run and stole bases. We just sac bunt like a bunch of wussy clowns.Quote:
