    It?s time for GoTro to go

    I?ve never seen more regression in hitters. Rowdy, Hatcher, and virtually everyone else we have are much poorer hitters now than they were when they got here. It?s not possible for a top 10 program with the best facilities in college baseball to be this inept at the plate. He?s a scout. He?s not a freaking hitting coach.

    3 things...
    1. I'm certainly disappointed in our offense so far.
    2. It is too early to say these hitters have regressed. Still lots of baseball to be played.
    3. It wasn't too long ago that we all prayed Gautreau wouldn't leave.

    ETA... and we showed a good sign last night imo with much more lift on the ball. Maybe we about to get going some.

    ETA part 2... since when did I start defending the coaches? Haha

    Because Gautreau has a track record of success. The majority of the quality baseball posters here said offense was going to be an issue this year - and it has been our weakest aspect.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Too early to say he needs to go! Hell maybe they aren't good enough hitters, it happens all the time.

    I thought Lemonis is pretty involved with hitting too?

    Firing Gautreau would be a mistake. We're recruiting better hitters by the way- with more power.

    I will say it is too soon. I personally think it’s a mistake to fire him on April 2 during the middle of an SEC series. I think a change, if needed, should occur after the season. If you wait until the season is over, you will have the entire 2021 season to use in the evaluation of him. So yes, it’s too soon to make that decision now.

    Kentucky's tram ERA is lower than ours which tells me if we can win this series we are improving.

    I'll tell you what's too soon... you starting another thread with the same topic 6 days ago apart! Why not just resurrect that one?

    Do you recycle sermons that fast?

    GoTro isn't going anywhere. Our players need to learn plate discipline and the hitting will improve. He can't tell them when and when not to swing.

    Well in 2019 we led the conference in batting average. So there's that.

    Maybe just maybe, you should see what he's done recruiting and hitting wise and go from there. We put more money in scholarships in pitching. As we should. Go tro as the op put it is a huge asset. But not shocked he doesn't know
