the manager for the Colorado Rockies put in his best pitcher to run for someone last night- pitcher then breaks arm in a play at the plate
As usual, an interesting story, but your facts are all wrong. Yes, he was the opening day pitcher. Best? Doubtful. 0-3 with an ERA of 13.21. He injured his shoulder, on his non-throwing arm, but is said to be "fine". He did not break his arm.Quote:

Personally, I never thought Lemonis was dumb but he has had two and now going on three years of subpar results. He has the rest of this year to keep progressing but I don't see the improvement and it's hard to do without players. Thing is: He built this roster and staff and has done it with more NIL and $$$ than most programs. There is no way a team with this much fan support should be on the bubble of post season three years in a row or more especially out of it.
What we have been seeing should not be acceptable to any of us. Is it firing time? Maybe not, but do not act like everything is all good because it's not.
That sounds like something that would happen to us.
was just going off what was tweetedQuote:

Well Lemonis did play Stephen in left field and then let him hit in a crucial situation in a one-run game against Georgia. But I guess there were extenuating circumstances with the entire roster ejected.Quote:

Shirley you didn't think any of the starters who were ejected from thst game were going to NUT UP and do something to win it? Khal Stephen had just as good a chance to do something positive as the stiffs who got State 2 Runs to that point!😳😳😳Quote:

Doesn't matter if it's a business or sports, buck stops at the top. I hope we make a run in the tourney, but I'm not sure how long things go up or down after this year. I just want us to continue to win!Quote:

So? We needed the game and the pitchers needed work. SEC wins are what matters and will decide what Regional we end up inQuote:

I'll agree with C34 on this one. We need to develop depth and find pitchers we can count on. We also need to get Cupp right and getting him in yesterday was big. Working him back in with a low stress situation.Quote:
