But yeah, Lemonis is coach of the year *** I want Lemonis to do well, but this season is about pitching.
"One of the great transformations I've seen at MSU with two bullpen arms is happening currently.
2023 Tyson Hardin and Tyler Davis: 1-0, 0 Saves, 10.84 ERA, 42.1 IP, 71 H, 51 R, 32 BB, 46 K
2024 Hardin and Davis: 7-0, 4 Saves, 1.82 ERA, 49.1 IP, 39 H, 10 ER, 22 BB, 53 K"
It is astounding the difference! It's like we picked up 2 new good pitchers. Hardin was so bad last year I called him Mr bp because that's what he was throwing !
So when our pitching sucked it wasn't lem's fault???Quote:

It is a great feeling this year in games, that we don't hold our breath each inning hoping for no leadoff walks, followed by a few more each.Quote:

If you keep hiring idiots that makes you a bad manager and you lose your job. If you're a manager at any level you get credit for the failures AND the successes.Quote:

Now do Hugesak
Well, the pitching coach was fired, but HC wasn't. Only fair then if there is success then the new pitching coach gets the actual credit.Quote:

The 2nd part of that is Parker has done a really good job. It's a combination of things leading to success.
This, and add in the improvement on defense and the mental toughness this team has displayed, and we're right there. And yes Hujsak should've been playing last year, no doubt about it!Quote:

I want Lemonis to do well. It is nice to have our CWS coach long term and have more successful teams. But I want to call him out for some pour evaluations or lazy ones.
He concerns me for rebuilding next season, due to his current track record and his loyalty to upper classmen players sometimes.
Lemon must have banged a lot of wives/moms of a lot of these posters. Some of yall are just ate up with Lemons hate
Don't make this a Genespage site, where we cannot both support MSU and criticize also.Quote:
