Too many posters on these message boards have the benefit of hindsight.
If I have a complaint on Lemonis, and most college baseball coaches, it’s that they try too much to manage like MLB. Major leaguers are more consistent, so they have defined roles often (setup guy, closer, etc). College players lack maturity and consistency so sometimes you just need to ride the hot hand. If a terrible hitter is hot, ride him until he cools off. If your middle relief guy is hot, don’t yank him just because it’s the 9th and the book says to bring in a closer. Because all of these guys are up and down.
Well, when you have Landon Sims that's a good strategy. We don't have that kind of guy on the back end anymore though.
