Butch had to try different things bc of the talent level. Dietrich won't do that. He is a more straight forward pitching coach. He was actually a pitcher himself! Butch was not!

I believe we will miss Butch more as a person and recruiter than pitching coach. His methods worked with some pitchers but not with a good number of others. And as has been stated, its rather frustrating that we seemed to never get anything out of freshman pitchers under Butch and, in fact, a lot of our best pitchers under him were really only good ONE year. Would just like to see a little more consistency where our guys are useful at least in the SO and JR years and it doesn't take "going to the Cape" to get their act together (like a Dakota Hudson). No doubt though that the new pitching coach is going to have much more raw talent at his disposal than what Butch had for most of his time here.Quote:

I know. Some people love to be negative toward others when they can't have what they want.
I will bet this. Dietrich will be a better pitching coach than Butch. Statistically speaking. If we have a sub 3.00 ERA in 2016 we are in Super/CWS.
Dude really?Quote:

I would expect the new coach to be announced tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

We got a pitching commit yesterday. We have a big Texan visiting this weekend but he's not a pitcher. A couple of others will be visiting too.
Ming might be in Jupiter though. Butch mentioned Jupiter at Auburn yesterday so he might be down there too.
+1. (Was so obvious, or at least I would have thought it was)Quote:
