I would pitch Parker Stinett on Friday and bump everybody else back. Lol. Let them have the game against skeens and pitch to win games two and three. Their bullpen is almost as bad as ours.

I watch just about every game they have played, (dad is a big fan) Their pen is really bad and to be honest, Skenes is the only one they have and he is even starting to throw a lot of pitches.
Now the bad news… They can RAKE and we have no pitching. Stinnett is throwing tonight, so I would throw literally anyone against them Friday night cause we ain’t winning that game. Save Cade for Sat and Gartman for Sun. Let Lo piggy back off one or the other.
This should have been done last year after Sims went down and continued into this year.Quote:

Our best pitchers that actually throw strikes also serve up lots of dingers.
Tigers just hit back to back to back homers vs Northwestern. Expect stuff like that in all 3 of our games.
Great minds think alike.Quote:

You are joking, but shows how trashed out this program is today. Can't even compete over 3 games in a weekend series anymore.Quote:

Which pitcher is better in May than he was in February? Who's improved? KC Hunt is +10 ERA senior, a 5th year senior.
Alabama and auburn did it the last two weeks. But point takenQuote:

Our fans are relegated to conceding games in hopes of winning a game in a season that's going nowhere. So sad to see how far we've fallen under this staff.
It's like we made a deal at the Crossroads. Two years of giving the devil his due.Quote:

35 man roster limit most likely. Maybe referring to Auger and Simmons who we redshirted because they wouldn't be 100% this year which is the right move.Quote:

I understand the limit, I was wondering who the players were because I didn't think Simmons and Auger were ready. And his phrasing was something along the lines of "we have guys in the pen that have the talent help, but we aren't using due to roster limitations."Quote:

Awesome talent evaluation to compete in the SWAC, i guess.
Yeah this is the thong about Lemones. Even if he manages to change the culture, light a fire under their asses, get them to play good defense, work on fundamentals, hire a real pitching coach... even of he does all that, he still isn't good at player evaluation. Yeah he gets some gems like Yeager or Ledbetter, but he wanted NIL to go to Stinnett, thought Hunt could be a Saturday starter, throught Hancock could play catcher, brought in that God awful Juco OF last year (Seibert?).Quote:

Would a good pitching coach help? Probably. But you'd still have dumb decisions like giving NIL to keep Hancock and not pursuing a transfer catcher.
The question was... who was he was talking about?Quote:

You never know what happens after TJ. We have seen everything from Ethan Small (1st Round Ace) to Keegan James (Pretty Good) to Parker Ford (Back but not ok) to Never pitching again.Quote:

SEC Relief
Pico - SO (Long Relief, if he is healthy)
Dohm - JR (Long Relief)
Cheatham - JR
Simmons - JR (Closer, if he is healthy)
Auger- JR (8th Inning Man, if he is healthy)
Then you think 1 or 2 of this group becomes ok.
Siary -SO
Tapper - SO
Logan Forsythe - SO
Gibbs - SO
He needs to portal-in about 3 or 4 decent non +9.00 ERA upperclassmen from SoCon.
My hope is that our new PC brings some reinforcements with him.Quote:
