Our staff

[Homedawg]

A testament to our staff is the fact we took CM out after 6 innings when he was rolling. In years past we would have had no choice but to leave him in no matter if he was rolling or not to protect the weekend. This year, we take him out , and smith deals for three innings. Now at some point, somewhere, this will backfire and people will go crazy. But we have the depth to do this and survive for 3 games and still have quality pitchers not pitching and hell, we have some sitting at home!

[msstate7]

I like our baseball staff

[Saltydog]

Yeah, you would've thought they would've allowed more kids to travel this year. Gotta feel bad for some of these kids. I mean, we got kids who are pitching their asses off in the mid week that can't go on a road game.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Now we know what it is like to be Vandy .... so little innings, so many great arms

Now we have Bednar tomorrow

[PGHBulldogBG]

Even if the hire was messy, I give Cohen credit for this. We have a great baseball coach and staff

I second this. And the other most storied team in the league can't even pull their guy due to having no bullpen.

[maroonmania]

How about the staff's willingness to put Braylon Skinner right into the starting lineup for our first SEC game in Baton Rouge even though he only had 3 ABs to his credit before tonight. And Skinner comes through with the first 3 RBIs of the game. Lemonis is going to do whatever he thinks gives us the best chance to win no matter some may think (sorry LJ). I love that our staff is going to do what's best for the team and isn't trying to just keep people happy.

[chef dixon]

Lemonis has taken us to elite territory. We were already really good.

[BeardoMSU]

Even if the hire was messy, I give Cohen credit for this. We have a great baseball coach and staff

He and his coaches have been great. Foxhall especially.

[Saltydog]

That decision really doesn't surprise me a whole heck'uva lot to be honest. Skinner had a great fall and Lemonis has said on multiple occasions that he was "dynamic".

[The Federalist Engineer]

Maybe some Credit

If ever Lemonis get tired of Cohen, he needs to say so publicly and the Fans, Alumni will have Barney Rubble walked out so his wife can pick him up.

This. He took a bit to get used to playing d1 in the fall. But he took off late fall and really was going this spring. He's not an elite hitter yet. But his speed is. And he, obviously, has the ability to turn on a ball. Breaking balls are about to be his diet after the fastballs he pissed on tonight.

[Homedawg]

He and his coaches have been great. Foxhall especially.

Our staff- all of them- are very good and we will have to move on. They all will get better opportunities. They are all that good. Cheese included.... even w that terrible decision to send Tanner tonight!! Haha

[skadoosh14]

Now at some point, somewhere, this will backfire and people will go crazy

Explain

[Homedawg]

Explain

We pull a guy and our relief guy, that day fails, the melt will begin.

Amen! As an old coach said "if you ain't got pitching you ain't got squat!"

Well we got plenty of squat. Our staff is crazy good. As Ben McDonald said tonight it's like We have a major league bullpen.

[Okrastar1]

We are STOOOPID rich! Think about this...

Friday- CM then hand it to Smith
Saturday- Bednar then hand it to Lando
Sunday- Cerantola(whatever you get) then hand it to Fristoe. All while you have Johnny wholestaff left for whenever! Oh yeah Houston goes midweek... what in the literal F, that?s insane

I was thinking about that too when they left Hill in for 100 pitches tonight. Then again, burning pitchers up is a LSU tradition going back to the Skip Bertman era.

Yeah, you would've thought they would've allowed more kids to travel this year. Gotta feel bad for some of these kids. I mean, we got kids who are pitching their asses off in the mid week that can't go on a road game.

Honestly, much more than 30 and it would be hard to get all of those guys in a game unless the coach made a concious effort to do so.

He had won a starting OF job this spring before he got hurt. I'm just glad he looks like he is back to 100%. That's REALLY BIG for us. I'm a little surprised that he was in LF and not CF but maybe he isn't quite as good defensively as I think he is sort of like Vince Coleman.

I think we're going to get even better too. Seriously.

I really like Preston Johnson and Parker Stinnett too.

[Todd4State]

And meanwhile Ole Miss and Vanderbilt are throwing their Friday night guys around 120 pitches apiece in cold weather.

He should at some point in time get to the CF position.
