    Who is calling pitches this weekend

    This has a chance to really expose Lemonis if he doesn't have a lot of knowledge of what Fox was really doing wrong and how to fix it.

    We have a staff full of guys that can't locate and consistently throw strikes. It doesn't matter who called the pitches. Cade has looked good and looked not so good. Either might show up tomorrow. Nobody has been consistent all year. If you're expecting some miracle change bc fox isn't in the dugout I'm sorry.

    I fear this was a "lipstick on a pig" staff change.

    That's fine. If they can't locate better it doesn't matter who calls the pitches.

    I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm expecting more of the same. Which might suggest moving on from FoX may not solve anything....

    To expect it can solve anything in 3 weeks is naive. Maybe they pitch more free. That might help. But....

    Well not the remainder of the year. Let the catcher call it. I could study the likely 14 hitters we will see this weekend and about an hour later call the pitches. I am sure a catcher who plays in this league could too.

    If we simply stop leaving guys in too long that will help a lot.

    I don't know how many of our walks came because a guy was worn out and we just left them in the game for whatever reason but I bet it's a lot.

    With Pitchcom- I'm not very familiar with it- but what's to stop say someone like Jay Powell announcing the game sending in the pitch selections from the TV booth?

    May not be feasible.

    Just throw a bunch of fastballs down the chute and make them hit it. I would rather see 18 home runs a game than another walk.
