Loftin and Holcomb have to get their heads right. Both have talent. Loo has it too, just needs to figure best way to use him and work on his stuff some. We've got a lot of potential in our staff. Just no one has shown it consistently yet. Parker will certainly earn his pay.
I could mention Dohm and Stone and our new Juco guy too. The way I see it, it's not possible to be worse than what we saw last year. How big a jump we can make it the question. But we'll improve regardless.

[Really Clark?]

Our pitchers have to take a big step with control. But it also helps to not call 2-3 straight breaking balls off the plate 5 inches when you are ahead in the count. That happened way too much and hurt our pitcher's confidence as well.

Nailed it. There's a lot of talent on this staff the question is harnessing it. If Parker can unlock it for these guys we'll be just fine. He's definitely gonna have to earn his pay.

Amen brother! The pitch calling made me pull my hair out and almost lose my religion!

Non competitive pitches when ahead in the count is absolutely insane!

What the hell is Montgomery waiting on to commit to someone? I mean don’t they report pretty soon?

I've said it a million times. I don't give a rat's ass how hard you throw ball 4.

pitch calling was horrendous. Parker will be a step up there. Hell, my sister would be a step up.

I was honestly dumbfounded at the approach we had game after game with the pitch calling. Part of the problem with our pitching was we were so predictable. We never attacked inside and if a pitch came in it was just because the pitcher missed his spot. If a hitter knows there no chance of getting busted inside you get real comfortable leaning out over the plate and taking away the only spot we ever threw to. Everthing was away, away away and when we got ahead we threw non competitive pitches trying to get strike outs. Heck a hitter gets behind 0-2 to us just take the next 3 pitches and then look for a cripple on 3-2 or take one of the gazillion walks we gave up! It real was head scratching.

We have pitchers who would play for any team in this league.... just not enough of them.

My daughter would have called better games and pulled pitchers much faster. But she also would have challenged hitters a lot more.

Last call Foxhall is what I started calling him. Because he was either drunk or just calling the same pitch so much. It worked either way.

I think at this point, you move forward NOT expecting Montgomery to be on the team. He has to know his announcement of coming to State would have possibly persuaded other transfer targets to also come play with him, Hines, Jordan, etc.

He didn't make that announcement, that's why I'm thinking Lemonis is going to be the bridesmaid for Montgomery's services... hope I'm wrong.

[BigDawg81]

I think we have a silent commit. It?s the Purdue pitcher but we waiting on him to announce.

not landing Montgomery would make the offseason portal a failure

Lemons is sleeping with phone by his side..humming

"I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there?
These hang-ups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with over-exposure
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone"

Cape finishes up this week. Expect him in town after that.

Foxhall was just hired at Auburn. "Director of Player Development"

The new Auburn PC is a guy named Everett Teaford, who was the Minor Leauge Pitching Coordinator for the White Sox before coming to college.

Playoffs start this weekend with his team in first place.

Finally a take we agree on lol

Though I think we needed a Friday starter more than Montgomery. Montgomery is probably a bigger "failure", just because we had so much going for us.
