When Coach Lemonis was being interviewed and said "eleven of those (losses) were last year", regarding our SEC losing streak, I immediately thought of JoMo, (kick rocks and pound sand).

Also like some others have posted being down by 4 or more runs changes your approach at the plate/

Every thing in baseball starts on that mound. I remember talking to a head coach who was recruiting my son and was looking for more pitching. He said "Never heard a coach say we lost a series because we didn't have enough left fielders!"

Absolutely. It completely shuts down your running game. And it causes hitters to have to be more patient at the plate.

Exactly! I got into a discussion with a co-worker who has a son that plays at La Tech and they were saying "you gotta have the sticks" but like I told them I can't remember one team that has won the World Series in MLB or college that had bad pitching. I have seen some teams that weren't great at hitting win a championship every now and then though. You have to pitch and play defense to win.
Cohen had the right idea when I heard him say one time that ideally you want seven guys who you can count on- three weekend starters, a midweek guy, a relief ace like Dohm, a set-up guy, and a closer.
